COLLECTION 2 - AVANT-GARDE

72 KALTBLUT
KALTBLUT: I am 100 % sure the people will like your
sound, specially here in Europe. “Not Enough” is a super
catchy song. I love the sound and the vocals. Michael
you are the voice of Sellah and Lewis you are the
producer. How does a production day looks like? Do
you hang out for days or.. how does it works? Tell us.
MICHAEL: We are both very excited because the past
few months we both were in and out of NYC. Now in
June we will both be in NYC full time. So this gives
us room to create even more! I am very excited to
be with Lewis more and it rocks to see our friendship
and trust grow as our music does.
I stand firmly in believing Sellah will be the answer to
many people’s fears and doubts. That is if you really
dissect the deeper meaning behind that statement.
LEWIS: It’s definitely been a struggle to get finished
products out there because of the distance, but
we’ve just been fitting in sessions and mixdowns
whenever possible. I’m definitely excited to be able
to work with Michael one-on-one more in the coming
months.
KALTBLUT: I also like a lot how you do present yourself.
Love the black and white theme in the video and
the pictures. Your style reminds me a lot to the 80s-
90s British pop bands like Pet Shop Boys. Who are
your Icons? Who is inspiring you?
MICHAEL: For me, I have no icons or idols. I feel at the
end of the day we are all human so no one can ever
be rightfully higher up then I and vice versa. I do have
people I highly respect in this industry though! To be
honest not many males, I have a few I love to listen
to, like Childish Gambino, Frank Ocean etc etc. I am
really into the female artist Robyn!
LEWIS: I wouldn’t say that I have any icons either,
but I am definitely inspired by everything around me.
Some key musicians that inspire me are EDM artists
like Skrillex, Gemini, and Porter Robinson. I am the
youngest of 6 children and each one of my older siblings
inspires me and mentors me to do the best I
can.
KALTBLUT: You have just signed a contract with a label
VMG( Vanity Music Group) . Congratulations. How
does it feel to have a label in your back now? And
when will be the first music video out? I mean I even
can´t wait for an album.
MICHAEL: It feels amazing! As I said, Philip David is the
boss and I am his Co partner. And our goal is to bring
fashion into music. I cannot go too much into details,
but just wait and watch ;). VMG will be the next big
thing and we are working to have some type of video
out this summer…we will see! Also big shout out to
our newest confirmed members of VMG, Caleb aka
L.K from Ireland and our second in house producer
UGLY from France!
LEWIS: It was super exciting to have all our work get
some recognition by getting signed to this label. It’s
great to have a label backing us, but I am mostly excited
for all the great music that we are going to be
able to make with their help!
KALTBLUT: Did you ever been to Berlin? You already
have some fans here. And a PR friend introduced
Sellah to me. Any plans to come to Europe in 2012?
SELLAH: YES! We gathered a global PR team to help
promote us in our beginning stages! We are creating
universal music, so literally we can be played and
seen worldwide . We cannot wait to travel in and out
of the US for tours and especially Germany… you
guys rock!!
KALTBLUT: As I said already I am sure your sound will
go around the world. Where do you see Sellah in 5
years?
MICHAEL: I see us having our own TV show, maybe
even channel! Doing music full time of course, living
the perfect life that Lewis and I were born for and
giving back to our parents, and siblings generously
and freely.
LEWIS: I see us continuing to create music together
and growing as a brand. We definitely will be doing a
lot of touring throughout the coming years and producing
a whole lot more art!
KALTBLUT: Thank you very much for your time. I wish
Sellah all the success you want and deserve. Marcel
