Weslynn Q&A

Band name:

Weslynn.

Where are you from?

We are from Phoenix, Arizona, USA.

Who else is in your band?

Our band consists of Jared Geyer, Greg Olin, and Kevin Holmes.

How would you describe yourselves?

We like to think we are very fun people to be around, who we are always ready for an adventure. We put out hearts and soul into the music we create together. When we write music we tend to be honest and that ties each of us emotionally to our songs. We write about the good, and even the bad things in life. Our music reflects who all three of us are as people and musicians. 

Who are your main influences musically?

We are influenced by a lot of different great artists: Augustana, Tom Petty, John Mayer, The Maine, The 1975, Coldplay.

What do you hope to achieve in music?

Collectively we all want to keep playing our music that we are passionate about for as long as a possible. Our music delivers something more personal than your average pop song. We would love to get on the road and play live for more and more people every year. 

What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?

After one year as a band, we think the highlight of it all is meeting fans who are so passionate about the music we make. They are so supportive and kind to us. It is an amazing opportunity to meet new people in person and create new relationships with each to them. 

And what’s the moment you want to forget?

Every second about being apart of Weslynn is amazing, there's nothing we would want to forget about this experience. Everything that happens, good and bad, are part of the process and we love every minute of it.

If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?

One song that could give a good representation of us would be Shining Night. It was the first song we ever wrote together has a collective group. The lyrics are hauntingly true for us and really set the tone for what we would create later in our career.

Anything else you’d like to say that I forgot to ask?

One person wrote every word, sung every note, played rhythm guitar, bass, drums and piano. on three songs. I played lead guitar and have brought in the top lead guitar players from my community as well as the lead guitarist from KORN.
I thank you for an opportunity to get my music heard by a larger audience. I do believe the songs cross boundaries that multiple genres can appreciate.
I am not trying to copy the next big thing, I simply write what I hear in my head and don't release a song unless I, and I alone, love it.
