When asked, their definition of success lies in the ability of their songs to inspire and bring together a society. “At the start of this project, we felt great success in getting a small number of followers, a label, and releasing our music. But on a big scale, we would like to create a big community, having shows in different spots around the world and being able to live off our music.”

Q: What are your thoughts on the meaning of success, and how do you define success for yourself?

There are different levels to success; at the start of this project, we felt great success in getting a small number of followers, a label, and releasing our music. But on a big scale, we would like to create a big community, having shows in different spots around the world and being able to live off our music. We have big dreams! 

Q: What's the most ridiculous thing you've ever bought?

Kevin: I didn’t buy it myself, but on my birthday I got” Snake wine” from Thailand. It was disgusting. It was a real snake in a bottle of wine. 
Jonathan: Not ridiculous, but recently I bought a Porsche 911 in Legos. 

Q: What's the most memorable fan encounter you've ever had?

Kevin: I have two that come to mind instantly. One was a fan telling me he had recently lost his father to cancer and that he had used one of my songs to carry him thru the loss. The other one was when I was in Paris, and their stod fans were waiting to talk with me outside. 
Jonathan: Every fan encounter is special in its way. We love fans that come up chatting. 

Q: Where and when would you go if you could travel back to any historical moment?

Kevin: I would’ve gone to the moment when Leonardo Da Vinci finished the Mona Lisa painting.

Q: What is your philosophy on happiness, and how do you strive to maintain a sense of happiness and well-being?

We surround ourselves with the ones we love, chase our dreams, and try to live in the moment, doing what we want. (But happiness could be a cure of coffee in the morning…) 

Q: How do you see dance music evolving in the future?

With our music, we try to be genre-transcending, not putting any boundaries on ourselves. And the same for music in general; artists can be more experimental today and try a lot of different stuff. 

Q: If you could switch lives with any other celebrity for a week, who would it be?

Kevin: I would have changed life with some president or like a king.
