When and how did the opportunity to do a collaboration come up?

Baron: It was something that we had always talked about. We eventually sat down and wrote a song called Say What You Want. After it reached number one, we decided to release an EP.

ADAM: I met Daniel a couple of years back. I always thought he was amazingly talented. I phoned him up and we decided to write together. That's when Say What You Want was born.

Has mixing your two different styles ever been challenging? Why?


Baron: It’s not usually challenging. With this project, our styles have similarities that really blend together well, so the collaboration process has been quite easy.

ADAM: Not really. Although we have different musical styles, we all are really passionate about music - we live and breathe it. And that made the whole project such an amazing experience.

How has the collaboration been received by your respective fan bases?

Baron: It has been received so well by both of our fan bases. They have really embraced it.

ADAM: Our fans have always been so supportive of us and anything we do. They absolutely love it. They love the songs and they've received Daniel with open arms.

Who has influenced the music you make?


Baron: I am influenced by many different artists and genres. From the pop/rock sounds of Coldplay and OneRepublic to the stage performances of legends like Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley.

ADAM: We're three guys, so we've got different influences and that's probably why ADAM's sound is so distinctive. So between us, it's anything from Queen through to Westlife and Mariah Carey.

Who else would you like to collaborate with in the future?

Baron: I would like to collaborate with Jack Parow.

ADAM: So many people. There's so much talent in South Africa. So we're hoping to do many more collabs.

What advice do you have for young people hoping to make it in the music industry?

Baron: My advice is to never give up on your dream, to keep a strong faith and to remain close to your loved ones. In order to reach your goals, you have to work hard.

ADAM: Be yourself. Be original. And persevere

What can we expect from you guys in the future?

Baron: We would love to plan a joint tour next year.

ADAM: We're bringing out an Afrikaans album in mid-2016 which is going to be amazing. And then just touring throughout South Africa.
