Obsession is a super pop duo consisting of two members: Jonathan Jetson & Aryn Adonis. In a generation where two or more guys making music is commonly recognized as having to be a rock band and playing an instrument, and popstars are most commonly some blonde competition winner of American Idol or the X-Factor. They are here to break the mold and create a new image for what the gender and sound of a pop star can be. They are not trying to be the next Mariah Carey, cause they are not professional singers. They are here to be the next generation of pop artists.
After gaining some experience, they took a more serious approach to the music business. They have released five singles and an EP, have had radio, magazine, and countless other interviews, music featured on shows such as "The Avenue" & in a 2012 ad campaign on MTV & VH1 for the music website fMainstream.com, performed at venues around the United States including a performance for 65,000+ at Indy Pride 2011, and new music being unleashed upon the world!
They came from another world, here to spread their extra auto-tuned, ass shaking dance sound with this planet. Their music has a message. Three qualities to live by, which are to LOVE YOURSELF, because you are all superstars in your own way. Second, to LOOK CONFIDENT, cause you are all beautiful. Last, LIVE FREE. Party hard and make the most of life no matter what your situation is. Live by this sound of music and you will forever be rich. This richest you can get, an Obsessionaire!
Don't be surprised when you start to see or hear more of Obsession. They have a very bright future, and it is blinding. Watch out, bitches!
1. What type of band are you?
We are a dancy, auto-tuned, catchy musical duo. We love to sing and dance!
2. Tell us the brief history of your band.
We met in 2009. We both had similar dreams of breaking out in the music industry. We had the ambition needed to work hard and play hard. We decided to experiment with some tracks to see how the finished product sounded and we loved what we heard. Over time, we have improved our sound and image and shaped ourselves into people that we wanted to be. Our fans have helped us succeed and supported us
since the beginning, and for that, we will be forever grateful to them.
3. Why did you want Obession to be a two person group?
Two heads are always better than one! We feel that it gave more 'spice' from a musical point of view. For example, we have two different singing styles and sounds. Instead of our songs always having the same vocal sound, there is now a variation with the two different voices. It also gives more personality to our performances and music.
4. What does the band's name refer to?
The name is a play on how some fans are obsessed with those who are well-known or famous. We have some very devoted fans that we love very much! But, it is a fact that some fans become obsessed with celebrities.
5. Who are your musical and non-musical influences?
We get influenced by just about anything. We can get influenced by the weather, life experiences, arguments, relationships, etc. Musically, we are influenced by performers who know how to have a good time. Britney Spears, Kesha, LMFAO, Flo Rida, etc., are some huge examples.
6. What are your dreams and goals?
Our dreams are to become known around the world. We want to make an impact. We would like to be able to say, "we made a difference in some way." We want to hear our songs in different countries. We want to be seen on television. We would love to take over!
7. Who writes the songs, what are they about?
Both of us write our songs. Sometimes, one will write a whole song, and sometimes we help each other out. We write about anything and everything that comes out on paper. Most of the time, the lyrics are about having a great time and letting loose.
8. Have you recorded any previous CDs or posted any audio files on the Internet?
In 2009, we released an EP with five songs on it titled "Get Dirty and Dance!". We have released many singles since then, and have been hard at work on our upcoming album, "Global Domination".
9. How did you sell your CD’s/Audio Files?
iTunes and
Amazon has always been the number one seller for us. We have had our music on virtually every music download website. We have sold physical copies of CD's at shows and to our friends, family, etc. We also have put most of our songs on
YouTube for free.
10. What image do you think your music conveys?
To let go, do what you want, shake your ass, be yourself, and have a great time.
11. What advice would you give to fellow bands?
Work your ass off! It will eventually pay off. You won't go from a 'nobody' to a 'somebody' in one day, but working hard will get you closer to achieving your dream.
12. How do you describe your music to people?
It's Fun. Auto-tuned. Dancy. When the song comes on, you'll start singing the catchy lyrics and shaking your ass!
13. What else do you have planned for the rest of this year?
We're working on our album now. It's close to being done. We've had a couple of set backs and pushed the release back twice, but as of now, everything is moving along great. We plan on releasing it in just a few short months. We're in talks to getting it put in a couple of very well known
stores.
