Today, we sat down with Kollaps to talk about their heroes, advice for musicians and much more! Be sure to check out their music below on Spotify after the interview!

Interview:

What is your inspiration to write your music? Is it your
surroundings?

I believe the fact that I’m not a formally trained musician has allowed my influences to extend beyond the musical; so I’m generally interested in the world around me whether that is political, personal experiences, religious ideals… I’m more interested in ideas and experiences than music itself and I try to convey these ideas through various culminations of sound.

What type of music did you listen to growing up?

I was not introduced to music at a young age.

Is there someone you looked up as a hero?

Kim Jong-un.

If you weren’t a musician, would you be doing today?

There was no other outcome for me I’m afraid.

What advice do you have for our fans out there that want to create
music?

Begin now. Dedicate as many hours to it as possible. Maintain focus. Avoid working a job. Accept poverty with open and loving arms. Cast aside the worthless crutch of sanity.
