Those of you who follow music will already know that the driving forces behind some of the most infectious songs of the past couple of years have set sail on a new venture that sees them coming into their own with two new songs, launching the maiden voyage of a musical artists collective full of talented songwriters, and a whole new look on the future.
Sky Blu and Mark Rosas have been collaborating since the chart-storming and well-loved LMFAO (consisting of Redfoo and Sky Blu) went on indefinite hiatus, and they've been creating some magic of their own.
Hey guys, how are you today?
Sky: What's up, Culture Brats?
I'd like to start out talking a little bit about Big Bad University and the artists collective. Is is a step you always planned to take and ultimately what do you envision for the label and the collective in the future?
Sky: Well you know, it's a creative family and we feed off each other's energy. We really utilize the friendship and the love we have for each other to create great things. You know, without pressure of a business deadline from a label or things like that. It's a real free environment to create stuff. Our goal is to leave this world legends, do you know what I'm saying? To contribute something to the world musically and other creative fields as well. So Big Bad University's real goal is to create great things that bring people together.
Mark: Yeah, it's a real type of illumination I don't think the world has seen in a while.
Whenever I see artists collective I think of people lounging in a field writing poetry and after taking a closer look at what you guys were going for I wondered if it was born out of necessity or was it something you always had in the back of your mind that you might do?
Sky: Well, I think it's a little bit of both. I think that we all found each other at a time in our lives when we really needed the inspiration. I come downstairs... like me and Mark and a few others, we all really live together in a big house and we are always creating. So there is always the opportunity for me to come downstairs or for Mark to come downstairs and be like, "Yo man, what are you working on?" and then I join in and the whole day is gone because we've been working on this song.
So it's more like my original idea than I thought. Everyone together creating in one house. No field. You are together physically as well as musically.
Sky: Exactly.
Mark: Yes.
