FIRST OFF, CONGRATULATIONS ON “THE DANCE SONG”. HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN IN THE WORKS?

The first time we got in the studio and made The Dance Song was sometime around the beginning of this year.

WHAT WAS THE MOST ENJOYABLE PART OF CREATING THE DANCE SONG?

It’s difficult to choose but I would say it’s shooting the music video. Our director Jasper had all these crazy ideas and it was very fun to see how his vision panned out.

TAKE US THROUGH THE INSPIRATION FOR THE SINGLE.

Well, The Dance Song was made during a time when there were a lot of things happening in both our lives. Flightsch (pronounced Flight School) was making his transition to being the A&R of Universal Music Singapore while I was figuring out where to go from Mad Blessings, sonically.

We created an uplifting and entertaining vibe for “Mustafa” and “Mad Blessings”, and wanted to push that to another level. When we made The Dance Song, we had an epiphany — we both knew this kind of sound is the next thing for us.

I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO TALK ABOUT FLIGHTSCH’S INFLUENCE SINCE HE HAS DONE SO MUCH FOR NOT ONLY YOU BUT FOR THE REST OF THE CREW AS WELL, WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE WITH HIM AND HAVE HIM CONSTANTLY AROUND?

You know you don’t get to meet that many mentors in one lifetime... I would say meeting Flightsch was one of the biggest life-changing events in my life thus far.
