part two: questionnaire. 

start at the beginning, who are you and why are you important?

Gigi closed the mirror she'd used to adjust her make-up moments ago, grinning at the question. "So that's how we're playing it today? Okay, alright. I'm down, I'm seated. My name's Gigi and I'd say I'm important because there will never be enough songs in the universe people can relate to so I'm here to feed the girlies and the boys with all the necessities."

how long have you been making music?

"I think I've been making music my whole life. Might as well have come out of my mom singing." Gigi laughed, moving a strand of hair behind her left ear. "But seriously, I started doing this on a more professional route when I was around 12 years old."

how would you describe the kind of music you make?

"It's very Pop girly with the kind of deepness that can hit you right where it hurts unannounced. You wouldn't even expect it because the beat sounds so happy but they lyrics cut deep to the bone. But I do dabble in other genres all the time, it ranges from R&B influences to sometimes Rock."

who are some of your biggest musical influences?

"Oh, Christina Aguilera for sure. She was my idol for a very long time growing up. But also Rihanna and Mariah Carey. Their careers and their vocal ranges are insane."

what is the first record you ever bought?

"Stripped by Christina Aguilera." Gigi's lips widened into a cheeky grin. "I loved how raw, emotional and dirrty it was."

what has working in the music industry meant to you thus far in your career?

"I mean I won't pretend that it's not a tough industry to be part of." The blonde frowned slightly but then shook her head to regain her composure. "But it has meant everything to me that I got the chance and were able to do what I love for quite a while now. And it's finally gotten to a point where I can do it for a living also."

what are some stand out moments from your career so far?

"Stand out moments? Huh..." Gigi paused to really think about the question, not because there wasn't anything to choose from but too many that were significant to her but she wasn't quite sure if others would be able to understand. "I've recently released a feature with an artist I've been admiring for so long that it was honestly my biggest honor." She smiled. "But also opening the tour of one of the biggest pop stars at the moment was pretty cool." It was added as nonchalantly as possible but she was barely able to contain her excitement, her cheeks flushed and the smile on her face so bright it'd make a star in the sky jealous.

how would you describe your style of performance? what makes your shows worth seeing?

"My ability to multi-task and give you the hottest dance moves while hitting every note perfectly." Gigi playfully winked, smirk wide and bright. "No, but really, I like to be as carefree as I can on stage and not get too in my head about perfectionism and looking my best because I just want to have fun and do what I love. Plus, I like to interact with my fans, tease them and involve them as much as I can."

what are you still hoping to achieve in your career?

"A Grammy win." There was a bit of a sparkle in her eyes when the word 'Grammy' left her lips, a dreamy smile now visible on her features. "Wouldn't mind more than one also." She added with a smirk. "I feel like I've been snubbed of one with my latest album." She half-joked, laughing it off as if it were no big deal when saying that actually still hurt.

what’s next for you?

"My fifth studio album. I've been writing songs and having sessions with my producers almost non-stop lately. I just can't wait for my fans to hear what I've been up to. The excitement is real."

╰ ☆ ◞ avan jogia / nonbinary / he/they ——— no way, is that KAVI DESAI? you know, they’re 32 years old and they’ve been in los angeles for 12 YEARS. they’re chillin’ as a MUSICIAN & MANAGER at ALT CULT RECORDS. oh and they’re notoriously known for being PRETENTIOUS but there are some people who have seen them be ENTHUSIASTIC. i heard they’re a part of a BAND called STATIC MIDNIGHT, yeah, they’re a DRUMMER. to be honest they sound a lot like BASEMENT & CITIZEN. they’re actually A RISING STAR.

I. BASICS.

FULL NAME: kavi desai.

NICKNAME(S): avi (a shortened version of their name, also happening to hold the meaning of "sheep"), shepherd (see: explanation for avi. sheep doesn't seem to flow too well as a nickname, & here comes a moniker he'll never shake), pepsi.

LANGUAGE(S) SPOKEN: english, gujurati.

NEIGHBOURHOOD: west paradise.

LIVING ARRANGEMENTS: lives in a one-bedroom unit at the aster apartments.

II. FAMILY TIES.

MOTHER: mindy desai, distantly supportive relationship. there's nothing stronger than a mother's love, they say, but kavi could name a few things. mindy is a good mom, mostly, and she makes sure to check in every now and then. sometimes she'll even refer to recent news of static midnight, if there is anything to speak of. if kavi could complain of one thing, it would be that she always has to slide "your father loves you, you know" into conversation.

FATHER: jevan desai, hostile relationship. to put it simply, jevan disagrees with the life that kavi is living, and kavi often fans the flames—if he's going to piss his dad off regardless, he might as well do a good job at it.

SIBLINGS: palomi desai, younger sister. palomi thought the world of kavi when they were kids, and well... she still kind of does. she is their motivation to do good & be good. if they have one only fan, it's palomi.

PETS: a tuxedo cat (unoriginally) named socks. if you ask kavi, she's "a sweet little thing." everyone who's met her so far would have to disagree.

III. OCCUPATIONAL INFO.

OCCUPATION: musician, manager of alt cult records.

NAME OF THEIR ACT: static midnight.

DO THEY PLAY INSTRUMENTS? IF SO WHAT?: drums.

HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN A PART OF THE ACT?: 4 years.

CURRENT MONTHLY SPOTIFY/APPLE MUSIC LISTENS ON AVERAGE: 14k.

IV. APPEARANCE.

FACE CLAIM: avan jogia.

HAIR COLOR: naturally dark brown, but currently bleached to a near-platinum tone. looks a bit like half-assed frosted tips with the dark roots starting to come back in.

EYE COLOR: dark brown.

HEIGHT: 177cm, 5ft10.

BUILD: slim, defined muscles.

TATTOOS: a decent amount on his torso, arms & legs. details tbd.

V. PERSONALITY.

MBTI: esfp-t, the entertainer.

ELEMENT: water.

WESTERN ZODIAC: aquarius.

CHINESE ZODIAC: monkey.

POSITIVE TRAITS: enthusiastic, adventurous, accepting, humorous, forward, decisive, open.

NEGATIVE TRAITS: pretentious, argumentative, (too) open and also somehow not open enough, self-sabotaging, unreliable.

HOBBIES: doom-scrolling, generating ai pictures of himself in different styles, denying any and all wrongdoing that they’ve ever done, irritating their cat and then giving her treats to reel her back in, working out, bitching about working out, fishing for people to tell him that his workouts are paying off, trying new diners, hanging out at bars, window-shopping, rearranging their living room and then ultimately ending up on the same layout, arguing with his neighbors over the noisiness of him moving his furniture every other day, spreading misinformation, pondering the possibility that it’s time for him to grow up and then deciding that he’s still got time.

VI. WANTED CONNECTIONS.

LONG-TERM EX: “the one”, almost. kavi was a flight risk from the get, but this person gave him an honest chance—and fell so in love that they stayed long after it had become obvious that he wasn’t willing to give them what they needed. up and down relationship, passionate one day & dull the next; a routine that established itself and persisted for two or three years. they were living with kavi up until the breakup, which was around christmas 2023. they still have an immense amount of love for each other, but understand that they lack romantic capability. staying friends through it all, for better or for worse. the vibes: the 1 by taylor swift, i know the end by phoebe bridgers, cellophane by fka twigs, two slow dancers by mitski, renegade by big red machine & taylor swift, new perspective by noah kahan, etc etc…

THE BEST FRIEND: they’ve been through hell & back together, even if most of this so-called “hell” was self-created. there’s not much kavi wouldn’t do for them, so long as they keep cat-sitting when he’s out of town.

CUSTOMERS: people who shop at alt cult records somewhat regularly and are often subject to kavi’s pretentiousness, as music is where it tends to come out. the person who thinks he’s so cool, the person who’s sick of him acting like they give a shit about anything he’s got to say, the person who thinks he’s a sleazebag but he’s Hawt so they’ll pretend to be interested in what he’s saying all day every day, etc etc!

QUESTIONNAIRE. 

start at the beginning, who are you and why are you important?

“i’m kavi desai,” he says, as if it that’s all he has to say; there’s something suffocatingly smug in it, telling of who he is. a conglomeration of false confidence and one-liners. “i was just an indian kid with a dream, and now i’m managing a record store and playing in a band that people actually give a shit about; no matter what angle you look at it from, i’ve got something to be proud of, right? and, believe me, it gets better from here.”

how long have you been making music?

“as long as i can remember, really. i asked for a guitar for christmas one year. i can’t remember how old i was, maybe nine or ten, and santa provided. i learned fast and i wrote a lot of songs as a teenager, most which were complete dog shit. i ended up picking up drums ‘cause a good friend of mine was selling their set, and i guess there was somethin’ in me that knew where i needed to be. hey, here i am.”

how would you describe the kind of music you make?

“honest rock music. in a band, you have to work together to make something worth listening to—but if you understand who i am and what i do, you’ll understand there’s a lot of self-revelation in it. i like to try new things, and i like to believe that it all comes from my heart.”

who are some of your biggest musical influences?

“when i was growing up, the main one was the smashing pumpkins. i could probably play every song from pisces iscariot on a guitar to this day—but hey, don’t hold me to that, alright?… nowadays, i really like superheaven. their drummer’s style really stands out to me. they don’t make music anymore, but their discography never gets old.”

what is the first record you ever bought?

“the all-american rejects’ move along. not a single skip on it.”

what has working in the music industry meant to you thus far in your career?

“excitement. if i’m honest, not much else to speak of yet, but i think we’re getting close to something.”

what are some stand out moments from your career so far?

“it’s always nice to be told that i inspired someone to start drumming… or to see a pretty girl lose her shit from catching a setlist. hey, let me tell ya, moments like that will make you feel like a real rockstar!”

what are you still hoping to achieve in your career?

“well,” they start, grinning ear-to-ear—their bashfulness now evens out the vanity from earlier. “i want a sure sign that i’ve made it. this might look different for other musicians, but for me… it’d be nice to hold an arena tour, right?”

what’s next for you?

“keep your eyes on me and you’ll find out soon enough.”

PART TWO: QUESTIONNAIRE. 

IF YOUR MUSE IS A MUSICIAN:

start at the beginning, who are you and why are you important?

"Uh yeah, my name is Dallon Markham. I play the bass and sing for a band called The Wallets."

how long have you been making music?

"Oh Jesus, uh...", Dallon trailed off as he scratched his beard, trying to do math while currently stoned out of his mind. Fuck. Why did they wanna interview us all separately? What was I doing again? Or right. "Since I was like 18. That's when we really started to do the band seriously. But I was in music lessons ever since I was a kid."

how would you describe the kind of music you make?

"It's pretty much just three kids fucking around with their instruments really."

who are some of your biggest musical influences?

"Definitely Cartel, Peach pit, Jimmy Eat World, and Finch."

what is the first record you ever bought?

"Oh god. My step dad got me take off your pants and jacket, by Blink-182 for my 5th birthday, when he was still just dating my mom. We always were listening to The Rock Show"

what has working in the music industry meant to you thus far in your career?

"As bad as this is gonna sound, it's not really a career to me... It's just a hobby. Something that I do because it's fun and I love it. A career to me is a legacy, and for me, I hope that's my food and culinary career."

what are some stand out moments from your career so far?

"Well touring was pretty cool. But that didn't last very long at all."

how would you describe your style of performance? what makes your shows worth seeing?

There was a grimace that spread across the man's lips, quickly erasing his smile. In that moment, he really wished that Ash was there. Or hell his aunt. Anyone who could feed him lines. "I think we have a good energy", the man thought on his feet. "I try and interact with the crowd as much as possible, and I know Ash does too."

what are you still hoping to achieve in your career?

"Honestly, I'm not wanting much more from my music career. Wallets was something I just did with my cousin. It's fun and all, but it's not my passion anymore." I just use being in a band to get laid really, the man silently added. Knowing more then enough not to let that thought slip past his lips.

what’s next for you?

"Uh well", Dallon paused to think. "My main goal right now is to actually focus on my business. About six months ago I officially opened a food truck called Blazed. We're the only food truck in LA that currently sells cannabis infused food. But we sell regular food too, because there is such thing as too many edibles."

PART TWO: QUESTIONNAIRE. 

start at the beginning, who are you and why are you important?

"My name is Savannah Rose, I'm a 22 year old from Georgia and I'm a singer."

how long have you been making music?

"It kinda feels like forever. I did pageants as a little girl so my mama had me doing all sorts of singing bits and stuff like that. But when it came to actually playing instruments, I think I was about ten? so 12 years?"

how would you describe the kind of music you make?

"For me it's pretty real and raw. Vulnerable. It's very much just a girl and her guitar vibes right now but I'm trying to work on that."

who are some of your biggest musical influences?

"Honestly, Tay swift is my girl. I love how she just writes her truth and doesn't accept peoples bad behavior. But I really did look up to both Shania and Honey K and Jenna for a long time."

what is the first record you ever bought?

"The first one I ever bought? My dad took me to the midnight release of Red by Taylor Swift at target... My mom was so mad because I was tired and cranky for my pageant the next day, but in the end it was worth it."

what has working in the music industry meant to you thus far in your career?

Savy pulled in a deep breath. The last thing she wanted was to dox herself in an interview. But at the same time it was so hard to care. At least now she was taking off her clothes for more money then she ever made in pageants. "I haven't found much success doing just music yet. I'm hoping to change that soon."

what are some stand out moments from your career so far?

"Well, this interview is probably the biggest one so far."

how would you describe your style of performance? what makes your shows worth seeing?

"I try to make sure everyone is having a good time. I mean you always have those people who who will never be happy, but I'll do everything reasonable to make sure you're having a good time."

what are you still hoping to achieve in your career?

"All I wanna be able to do is make a living doing what I love to do."

what’s next for you?

"Well, honestly I'm hoping to get discovered. Signed onto someone's label so I can put out my very first album and see how it goes from there."

PART THREE: BACKGROUND:

Savannah was an unwanted child. Though you've never know at looking at it from the outside.

Tammy Jo was promising Miss Georgia contestant who had her title stripped from her once she got pregnant unexpectedly from a one night stand.

With a baby on the way, there really wasn't much more that Tammy or Harrison could do other then get married. Even if the two were complete opposites.

Due to her dreams being dashed, Tammy Jo entered her three month old daughter into a beauty pageant, much to the dismay

PART TWO: QUESTIONNAIRE. 

IF YOUR MUSE IS A MUSICIAN:

start at the beginning, who are you and why are you important?

"Hi, uh, my name is Ash DiMarco, and I'm one of the founding members of The Wallets."

how long have you been making music?

"Well music kinda runs in my family, so it's been a part of my life forever. I mean my mom literally was pregnant on tour. But uh, when I was about 13 I started to really take it seriously. It's around this time when I begged my older cousin to be in my band and well, that's how this kinda all started."

how would you describe the kind of music you make?

"It's definitely indie rock. A little bit of pop, a touch of singer- songwriter vibes."

who are some of your biggest musical influences?

"Well obviously my mom was a huge influence on me, considering how amazing she really is. And many of her influences too, for obvious reasons, but I really draw from like blackbear, Jeremy Zucker, Jon Bellion, the 1975, Wombats, you know very alt artists that are just extremely talented and lyrical geniuses. "

what is the first record you ever bought?

"Make believe by weezer"

what has working in the music industry meant to you thus far in your career?

"I haven't been as successful as some of the members of my family, but I really love this industry. There's so much that goes into making an album or doing a show that I dont think people realize, and that's kinda what I love about it. I love how much work it really takes."

what are some stand out moments from your career so far?

"Well out music videos are what I really love and are most proud of."

how would you describe your style of performance? what makes your shows worth seeing?

Awkward. The Wallets only did one tour in ten years. With local shows few and far between, and it was all because of him. The anxiety he felt on stage. "Well, we don't do a lot of shows, so..." He gave a small chuckle hoping they would move on.

what are you still hoping to achieve in your career, and what’s next for you?

Ash took a long pause, thinking about the future, what he wanted. And the truth was he didn't know. Wallets was crumbling, every member moving on in separate directions, and here he was. clinging to the music industry, cause it's all he really knew. "Sky's the limit."

II. FAMILY TIES.

FATHER: john cho, attorney. tumultuous relationship. he was a decent father to joel as he was growing up, but it a very "traditional" man and had a lot to say both to and about joel as he got more and more into music/performing. not thrilled about joel's decision to make music his career end-goal. calls once a month, sends money on occasion.

SIBLINGS: phoebe cho, younger sister. two years younger than joel, but you'd think it were the other way around. she's always been the more responsible, mature and intelligent of the two, and you could say that joel feels a little bit inferior to her. they were still pretty close while they were growing up. nowadays, they've let themselves drift apart.

VI. WANTED CONNECTIONS.

ROOMMATE: someone joel met through a friend of a friend of a friend when they both happened to be looking for a roommate at the same time; they met once & liked each other just enough to sign a lease together. they're about halfway through their lease now & have a better idea of who they're each dealing with. this can be either a positive or negative dynamic.

INNER CIRCLE: a few good friends; most of whom joel probably met when he moved to los angeles in early 2021. they know all of his bad habits/cycles, and have been irritated by him more times than they could count on both hands, but they're still friends all the same. he loves these people.

FLAVOR OF THE MONTH: the person joel's currently infatuated with. probably not going to go anywhere, as he's fickle with his feelings & is prone to losing interest when the target of his affection shows reciprocation; but for now, he's having a good time trying to rizz them up.

QUESTIONNAIRE.

start at the beginning, who are you & why are you important?

"me? i'm joel cho—frontman of the band electric june." when he grins, it's all teeth. an attempt to charm, a fear that he won't succeed. "before electric june, i was just a bored kid in north carolina. there's not much to me besides this, but i'd say i'm doing a damn good job at making something out of it. i guess that's why i'm important, huh?"

how long have you been making music?

"uh, let me think..." he makes a show out of counting on his hands, brow furrowed in faux concentration. he knows damn well that his answer's going to be tacky, irritating. he doesn't mean to be, just is. it's in his nature. "since birth, i guess? my mom says i was singing before i could talk, but i'm sure that's an exaggeration... still, i was probably six when i wrote my first song. not that it was good or anything. and i started playing music with other people at fourteen, so fourteen years ago."

how would you describe the kind of music you make?

"it's like a fever dream. during production, i like to layer in a lot of interesting sounds—glittery sounds, you could say, like... like... a phone ringing, but i'll muffle and distort it, then turn it way down, so it's something in the background and something that might confuse the person listening into thinking it's in their environment rather than in the song. other times i'll layer in birds chirping, or a wind chime; stuff that adds dimension, but it never really sounds like what it is." he pauses, cracks his knuckles. thinks to straighten his posture; doesn't. "do you get what i'm saying? anyway—it's kind of rock, kind of pop. there's a lot of synth in it. what else can i say? it's electric june. a sound of its own."

who are some of your biggest musical influences?

"uh, honestly... i try not to be influenced by anyone else. if i had to name one, though... i don't know, the first ones that comes to mind are the cocteau twins and grimes."

what is the first record you ever bought?

"shit, i don't know. maybe in love and death by the used? or something from my chemical romance? something tacky, for sure."

what has working in the music industry meant to you thus far in your career?

"everything," he claims, back to his earlier ear-to-ear grin. there's a mischievous look in his eyes, like he's telling a lie; but his tone is sincere. "this is all that i've ever wanted to do, and it's finally starting to pay most of the bills. i've learned a lot from working in this industry, though, like... you have to throw away your pride to be a musician. to an extent, at least, or you'll get caught up in a lot of stupid shit. it's never that serious."

what are some stand-out moments from your career so far?

"at my sister's wedding, one of her husband's distant relatives recognized me as the singer of electric june. that was nuts."

what are you still hoping to achieve in your career?

"being financially comfortable would be nice. a hollywood star... is that too much to ask for? i don't know, i'll be grateful for whatever good things come my way."

what's next for you?

"taking over the worldustry... do you know what i mean?"

wanted connections:

romantic/baby daddy: raquelle got pregnant from a one night stand a year ago. her baby daddy was introduced to her by a friend at a party, they spent the whole night flirting and she ended up taking him home with her. the next morning he was gone. when she found out she was pregnant a month later she thought about asking her friend for his phone number so she could tell him but she was too afraid of he'd reject her.

part two: questionnaire. 

why don’t you start at the beginning and tell us who you are?

"Okay," Her voice wavered slightly, giving away that she wasn't quite comfortable talking about herself. "I'm Raquelle Waters and I'm 28 years old. Is that what you wanted to hear? Or would you like to tell me more?"

what is your place in this massive industry?

Relaxing visibly when the topic changed to a work related question, Raquelle leaned back in her chair with a smile. "I write about this massive industry and everything that comes from it. Tours, album or single releases, debuts, but also the gnarly things like broken contracts or mistreated artists."

life in los angeles can be pretty intense, do you love it or hate it?

The woman let out a sigh, a sort of sad smile crossing her features before it settled into a comforting smile. "I like that it never really gets cold here and it's sunny most of the time. I need my constant vitamin D. But the city can also be pretty rough some times, a lot of people seem to mostly care about themselves and what they can gain from a situation or for a living. People are competitive and while I think it can help you thrive to an extent it can get really ugly really quick. So, to conclude, I think it's a love-hate relationship."

what inspires you to show up for the musicians you work for?

"My passion for music, honestly. And I love to study artists that have been in the industry for a long time, compare them to those who are just starting, spot the differences in their approach to the music they're doing... yeah, I think that's what inspires me greatly." Her gaze met the interviewers as she crossed her legs, fiddling with her fingers a little nervously. She truly wasn't used to being the one answering the questions.

what are some of your favourite genres of music?

"When I grew up, I used to listen to a lot of Classical music and I'm still a fan but these days I love Rock the most. Closely followed by Punk Rock and Indie music."

what is the first record you ever bought?

"St. Anger by Metallica. Yes I know, quite the contrast to the classical music I used to listen to until that point." Raquelle grinned at the other person as she shrugged nonchalantly. "It was a great album, though."

what’s next for you?

"What's next? Oh, I've got a lot planned, my schedule is basically planned out for the next two years. Lots of concerts, smaller gigs, release parties and the likes I have to visit and blog about. I was thinking about starting to do vlogs because my Instagram followers are asking for more content and they want to see the behind the scenes gist of the things I write about... So, yeah. Busy bee until 2026 at the least." She laughed, relief filling her senses that the interview was finally over.
