Software Engineer by day. Singer/songwriter and ½ of the music duo Block East by night.

In this episode, I had the opportunity to talk to Andros about some of his listening habits, inspirations both musically and cross industry, vocal training, where he’d like to hear his song played, and much more.

Andros has quite a unique experience. Originally from “the 6” in Canada, spent some time in Hong Kong, studied in London and flew across the pond back to the states and now resides in the Bay. His time abroad allowed for different experiences for music scenes and inspirations. Artists like Dominic Fike, The Weekend, Joji, Zhu, Denzel Curry and Nujabes (RIP) are just a few artists that have had a large impact on sound/ artists he enjoys.

Andros also is involved in many side hustles, one of which is called ‘Wonder’ where he is helping on the development side of the app. Wonder is a productivity app for goal and task setting, where users can get feedback & different perspectives from the community on the projects they are working on. (We actually used the Wonder app to meet and set up this interview!) Signup to join the waitlist at wonderapp.co !

Some exciting news from Block East, is that they have recently released a song called “Dear” (now streaming on all platforms), which had a different meaning than I originally thought, which we dig into a little more in the episode (listen to learn more). Side note: if you like Joji, you will love this song!

From the Wonder App to Block East, we see that teamwork is very present in his workflow, which is a wonderful thing to see! Support by giving Dear by Block East a listen and sign up for the Wonder App.

Happy to be back! Tried out some new questions, got some great and unique answers! Hope you get some inspiration from the episode & guest mix! Thanks!
