    Sebi interview

     

    Tell me how did you start to work in this industry ?

    I started to work with Rob in a pop group in Sweden in 2002 called Supernatural

     

    Who choose the name of the band Nexx ? And why this name ?

    Rob can answer that...

     

    Tell me a little bit of Synchronize Lips tune ? Who wrote that track ?

    Rob and I wrote the track with a very good co-writer called Ivar Lisinski and Jonas von der Burg produced it, the producer behind September, Velvet, Danny we released it first in Poland, it went good, then we released it in Romania and it went even better …
    It was one of the most played songs in radio in Romania for a long time

     

    Was Syncronize Lips first released in Poland ?

    Yes, it was first released in Poland, we won a prize in Poland for best international hit at Eska Music Awards, and we came at 2 place at Sopot Hit Festiwal in Poland, we got the prize from Orda in Oct this year in Romania.

     

    Why did you choose Poland as your first country and not Sweden ?

    It was a record label in Poland who wanted to release Sync Lips. They wanted to work with us, so that’s why we started there, and our manager had good contacts with them Synconize Lips is now released in Scandinavia and is top 10 at the Swedish Dance Chart

     

    Would be a second version of the Synchronize Lips video for Scandinavia ?

    New video for Scandinavia, no maybe for UK and US :)

     

    I know that you visit our country Romania, what was your first impression ?

    Sexy girls, they dress very sexy in clubs :)

     

    Are you thinking about coming back with Nexx again ?

    Of course, we released a new single in Romania after Syncronize Lips, called Paralyzed, it went ok and now we are working on a new single to be released January next year... I hope we can come and do some gigs in Romania soon

     

    Tell me the story of Nexx first album, does it have a story ?

    We have written songs many years, Rob and I, and after we released Syncronize Lips they wanted an album, so we wrote more songs with different writers and producers. Every song is not a hit you write :)

     

    Tell me the story of Nexx first album, does it have a story ?

    I'm still DJing from time to time, it would be fun to DJing in Romania too:)

    Robert interview

     

    How did you start to work in this industry ?

    We had the name "Natural Ex" from the beginning but it was to long so we shorted it down to NEX and added an extra X.

    Me and Sebastian!

    Not right now, but maybe in the future, we are good friends with them. I live on the same street as Andrea from Basic Element in Stockholm.

     

    Robert were you into 90 eurodance ?

    :-) yes, I trained a lot of dance when I was a teenager and we danced a lot to Eurodance music. I liked 2 Unlimited alot and we also had some good eurodance artists in Sweden at that time, for example Leila K.
