OCCG: Your new album is coming out if the “Walls Could Speak;” tell us a little about the album.
DJ: The topics of the songs are those that are normally left behind closed doors. They are controversial when you listen and think about them. What makes it different is that we don’t really choose a side on the issues; we almost shed a positive light on it.
OCCG: Your sound is described as POP/Rock EDM what artist would you say has the biggest influence on your music?
FiiX: Musically and stylistically I would say Linkin Park. It was our first favorite band.
OCCG: What would you say is your biggest inspiration to play music?
FiiX: About a year ago we were both writing our own material and we ended up collaborating on a song together. We got a lot of people’s feedback and it was all-positive.
OCCG: Being such young musicians, do you think this is something you will continue to peruse?
The FiiX: Yes, music is our set path.
OCCG: What is the next step for you guys?
FiiX: We are planning a small Southeast tour. Our main focus is to get our music out there and continue writing music.
OCCG: Your music focuses on issues on “Hard Issues” what would you say is the most controversial topic you have wrote a song about?
FiiX: Breathe, we would say is the most controversial. It is about abortion and it’s coming from the baby’s point of view. We get a lot of mixed reactions from it. We don’t write to start controversy, we write what we feel, no one is ever going to agree with you 100 percent of the time, of course people are going to judge us, that also won’t stop us.
OCCG: What can we expect at a FiiX show?
FiiX: Fireworks! You can expect a high-energy show. We will have a band with us as well a drummer and a bassist. It will be our first show together.
OCCG: What do you guys do when you are not playing music?
FiiX: We are very involved with our church and their activities. We are pretty much normal everyday kids that like to hang out, go to the beach, watch sports and eat food.
OCCG: Any last words for your fans?
FiiX: Thank You for all the support. It has been very humbling the amount of support we have been getting and we couldn’t have done it without you.
