Where are you guys from and How did you guys link?
-CoFFee – “Well, I was born in Hollywood, FL but grew up in Statesboro, GA. I relocated back to South Florida for high school, and have been here since.”
-Marclo- “I was born and raised in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Coffee and I met through a mutual friend. We did our first song together five years ago, and have been rocking with each other since.”
Seems like you guys have been putting in some serious writing work, what producers have been working with lately?
“We have been very blessed to have worked with some of the industries most amazing producers. To name a few, the most recent include Jerry Wonda, The Ghostwriters, The Fliptones, The Monsters, Chad Beatz, Arex, 1500 or Nothin’, Fuego, and the list goes on”
When it comes to producers and chemistry in the studio in general what is it that you look for musically to connect with?
“When it comes to production, we have a simply theory. Give us a challenge and you will get a hit! Doesn’t matter if its Country, Urban, Pop, or Rock. The Strangerz are international!
Being from a budding musical region such as Miami, how would you describe The Strangerz sound?
“Our name pretty much describes the lane that our sound drives on. We are best known for our catchy melodies, clever concepts, and the “strange” ear candy presence that we display in our songs. When you hear our music you will have no choice but to nod your head and crave more. We are in our own square outside of the box.”
Overall what’s your creative approach to writing these hits?
“We have a very strong formula that works for us. When writing, we like to take real life and add a bitter sweet twist. What makes us who we are is the fact that the listener will relate and fantasize simultaneously. Our music creates a familiar yet uncommon sound that demands attention.”
Congrats on the recent Trina placement, how did that come about?
“Thank you. The song is titled “Showing Out” on her latest album “Amazin”. We were given the opportunity to write with the producers of the track C.P. Hollywood and Kparn, both based out of Miami, FL. They have worked with Trina on previous projects and thought that particular record would fit the direction of her current album. Very soon after submission, we were notified that Trina loved the record and wanted it for her album. The both of us were very excited after that phone call. God is good!”
I hear you’re currently working with Def Jam recording artists Khalil and Mr Hudson, what can we expect from those collabs?
“First and foremost, both Khalil and Mr Hudson are phenomenal artist with amazing talent. Expect high energy records that take you to “that place”, and only brings you back to reality to let you know you’re ears just went to heaven but are still on the ground. Everyone listen out and just be ready! Turn it up!”
What’s next on the agenda?
“What’s next? Our manager Lex keeps us crazy busy; which is a great thing! We focus on our day to day home runs, and let him plan the tomorrow’s championships. We have a great team and a great strategy. But to answer the question broadly, our agenda is to simply make timeless music while improving ourselves and those around us.”
Where can we find you online?
“For all of our tweeples you can find us on twitter @thestrangerz”
Any shouts?
“We would like to give thanks to God, our families for their continued loved and support, our manager Lex Borrero and the entire Dream Big Hustle Hard firm, our publisher Rampaige 8, and everyone who has ever given us an opportunity to succeed.”
