Check out our recent interview with Atlanta-based pop-rock band OBB.
upfrontNY: Can you tell us about your music and your sound?
OBB: We are a pop band that enjoys playing fun and upbeat songs.
upfrontNY: As brothers, what is the best part of being a trio and sharing these experiences together?
OBB: I think being in a band as three brothers is special. We have a good vibe together from growing up.
upfrontNY: Can you tell us about the inspiration behind your song “7 Billion”?
OBB: I wrote “7 Billion” for my wife. She gets my quirks and all. I can’t believe that out of 7 billion people, I found her to share my life with.
upfrontNY: It is pretty amazing how people find each other when there are so many people in the world. Do you believe in “the one” ? With so many people in the world, what instantly attracts you to someone?
OBB: Yes, for me my wife is “the one”. I think we are attracted to people that we have similarities with.
upfrontNY: The video for the song was written and directed by the band, what was it like working together on bringing your vision to life?
OBB: It was a fun experience, and getting to do it with my brothers really made it special. We used to make videos when we were younger, so it took us back to that time.
upfrontNY: What has been your favorite performing experience?
OBB: Playing the Georgia Dome for the very last concert there before it was torn down. This was also the arena we grew up going to.
upfrontNY: If you could go on tour with anyone, who would it be?
OBB: OneRepublic, Coldplay, or The Police.
upfrontNY: Do you have a dream venue, city, or country that you hope to play?
OBB: Definitely would love to play in New Zealand because we are all “Lord of the Rings” fans. We would love to visit Hobbitan.
upfrontNY: When the band is not working, what do you guys like to do for fun?
OBB: Work out, hike, play video games, go to the movies, and try new things.
upfrontNY: What does 2019 look like for the band?
OBB: Lots of new music and shows!
