What does it mean to be an original?

To be an original to us means to be stick to what youre inspired and influenced by and to express how it all comes together in your brain and in your heart.

What’s the creative process like for you when it comes to writing a song?

Every song we write comes together completely differently than the one before, since there are 5 of us the ideas never stop flowing and it can come from any combination.

How’d you get into music and performing for our audience who doesn’t know?

Each of us had a distinctly unique path that lead us on a collective musical journey. Through a combination of music schools and camps and arts programs we all found each other at pivotal points in each others lives.

If you could perform at any venue, where would you want to perform and why?

If we could perform at any venue in the world it would have to be a sold out Madison Square Garden. As 5 born and raised Brooklyn boys thats always been the goal.

If you could do a song with one person right now, who would it be?

If we could do a song with anyone in the world right now, and trust us its a huge list...  but probably Paul Mccartney. A true living legend.

If you had the opportunity to get a drink with anyone, from anytime, who would it be?

If we could sit at a table and share a drink with anyone in the world i think we would probably choose J dilla. or Jay Z

If you weren’t a musician, what would you want to be doing?

If we weren't musicians, i think we probably still be running an arts-based company or possibly a university. A contemporary one that focused on fundamental artistic knowledge constructed in a practical way that would actually help prepare people for real life industry work as well as provide resources to invest in creative ideas.

What do you do to unwind and relax when things get stressful?

When we need to unwind, we usually turn our phones off or set them aside, play some super smash with some glasses of whisky.

If you could be any animal, what would you be?

If phony ppl could be an animal we would definetly be an Octopus, since thats how we already operate.

Who plays Phony Ppl in a movie?

If there were a biopic film about Phony Ppl it would definitely have Corbin Bleu, Michael B Jordan, Donald Glover, Andre 3000, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Brandon T. Jackson, Kevin Hart, Bow Wow. Everyone would want to be in it.

A penguin walks through the door right now wearing a sombrero. What’s he say and why’s he there?

That penguin would walk in ... all conversation in the room would stop.. were looking at the penguin, hes looking back at us.. we look at each other and back at him and ask "shot?" He replies "Gold or Silver?" we both smile. End Scene

What’s the funniest thing that happened to you recently?

One of the funniest things to happen to us recently we got stranded in a Russian airport for 12 hours during what was supposed to be a layover.
