Haute speaking here: Not to get all emotional, but this project really was a life saver. It made the thing we loved most since we were little kids - making music, fun and real again. After years of trying to be a “hit songwriter”…living my dream was far from what I was doing. Sitting on the couch trying to be creative while people start songs from flipping around an already popular melody, singing the demo because the artist can’t… it made me wonder if I was meant to be doing this. That was never how I made music when I was a kid. Someone in an interview recently said “you both had successful careers as songwriters before this” and in the interview I just nodded, but I wanted to say, “if successful is working for free for 8 years and having 5% of your work come out and only 1% ever help you pay some rent and then you still go broke every other year then… yes!” There are a ton of people that thrive as songwriters and producers and have very different experiences than me, but now I look back and it makes sense why none of that really got me where I wanted to go… I was trying to tell every story except our own. Now I’m like thank god that didn’t really work out… on the other side was all of this, you guys, this world, zero expectations just a wonderful surprise that we got to keep making music for a living and that this time it was coming from our hearts.
