Obviously the boys from Tame Impala are killing it so there is great music coming out of the country. SONIC: What’s the music scene like out in Australia where you’re from?ĬONRAD: It’s cool man, there’s a lot of indie bands like rock’n roll sort of thing and some cool pop acts coming out like Troye Sivan he’s done some really cool stuff. SONIC: (laughing) And a lot of hard work involved. But overall it’s an incredible gig and I wouldn’t swap it for anything. Like most things it’s not always what you think it is, so it’s not just sex, drugs and rock’n roll… although I do a little bit of that. You’re used to singing once a week then you start singing everyday, even 3 times a day and interviews on top of that so you really have to start looking out for your health. When things start becoming more real you have to start taking care of yourself a bit more. SONIC: There is a lot happening with you right now and rather quickly, is it surreal sometimes when you think about it?ĬONRAD: It’s um, tiring (laughs). My dream venue though is Wembley, so hopefully one day but with the Jingle Ball Tour we played Madison Square Garden, Staples Center and a bunch of cool iconic venues so it’s been really sweet. We’re in Miami right now and it’s been great so far except for the humidity. Stockholm is cool, Australia is my home so it’s always great to play there. SONIC: You have a show coming up at Barclays Center (Brooklyn, NY) with MØ and Kygo but you’ve travelled all over, what are some of your favorite places to perform?ĬONRAD:I always like going to London. SONIC: I saw Kygo few months back and everyone was singing along to that song, it’s a really great track so congrats on that!ĬONRAD: Yeah, it’s been really cool thank you! We didn’t really expect too much of it but it got big over the last year so it was just crazy. Then Kygo was sort of blowing up on the internet and my manager knew his manager so I sent over the idea and he had a crack at the production and it turned into what it was. SONIC HIGHLARK: So the track you did with Kygo (“ Firestone“) was a huge hit, how did that come together?ĬONRAD SEWELL: Well, I was writing stuff for my album and that was one of the ideas I had. We caught up with Conrad to find out the details behind the hit song and his songwriting process as well as what we can expect from him in the new year. tour dates including shows at Webster Hall and Barclays Center (January 21st, 2016). His latest EP available in Australia is set to be released world wide the first week of 2016, just in time for some U.S.
The soulful voice behind the hit is Australian singer/songwriter Conrad Sewell who is quickly becoming a household name. It was nearly impossible to not have heard Kygo’s track “Firestone” if you ever left your house this past year or so.
