who cares!
Do you think you could work alongside the person you were in a relationship with? Could you live the dream together, doing exactly what you wanted to do? That’s just what sundial is doing. This exceptional duo of Berklee musicians consisting of Jisu and Dorothy have come to brighten your days with their poppy musical presentations.
Their latest track “who cares!” has already made its way around the internet and is continuing to do so with positive feedback from listeners and industry figures alike. sundial took their classical training and applied their knowledge to electro pop and are coming up with incredible records that are further bridging the two genres together.
We recently caught up with sundial in the dojo to talk about how they came to be, what they’re into and what we can expect from them for the rest of the year. Expect it to be a big one! Enjoy the stream of “who cares!” while you dive in and get to know these two talents.
TMN: How did you two end up meeting?
s: We were grabbing food with mutual friends during college!
TMN: What made you want to put together the Sundial project?
s: We decided we wanted sundial to be a serious project once we made “your scarf”. We were messing around on Ableton together and came up with the idea, “we’re excited for life”, and knew that we wanted to continue making music together and sharing our stories with other people.
TMN: I’m intrigued by the name, how’d it come to mind and what made you stamp the project with that monikker?
TMN: Can you describe your sound in three words?
s: Snap, crackle, pop.
TMN: Speaking of your sound, you just released “who cares!” on Seeking Blue. Tell us a little about the song.
s: We tend to get too caught up in seeking validation from other people, and that could really affect the way we see and love ourselves. So, we created this song to remind people not to care about what other people think of you, because they don’t define you.
TMN: When you’re not making music, who are you listening to?
Dorothy: Kehlani, Tori Kelly, Taylor Swift, Tom Misch.
TMN: If Trump’s America made it law that musicians could only collaborate with five artists, who would your five be?
s: Jon Bellion, Kanye West, Julia Michaels, Cashmere Cat and Diplo.
TMN: Hard not to notice your streetwear-esque style! Coincidence? Intentional branding? Any brands in particular you guys would love to collaborate with?
s: We both love street style clothing. From growing up in a city to skateboarding, fashion was something we were always aware of. We usually go for more minimal pieces because less is more. We love brands like Adidas, Champion, Supreme, CDG, or anything that has clean designs really. If any of those brands were interested in using our music, we would be so blown away.
TMN: What are some of your milestones for this year?
TMN: With that in mind, what can we expect in 2018 to get you through those milestones?
s: Lots of new music, lots of performances, and lots of memes
