Rez and Cal have made a splash among more than just college students. As the duo Timeflies, the two have started to make a big name for themselves working with well known artists and remixing some of the top songs on the charts. Their style is unique and they just kicked off their tour in Boston last night! They answered 5 questions for you and check below for tour dates as well!
Arin: What got you both interested in music and headed down this path?
Cal: We’ve both been involved in music from a young age and I think Rez, more so than me, always knew that he would be involved in music. I always had a passion for music, but always had a fear of getting on stage; but I think when we came together in college and started working together, we knew that there might be something there.
A: College can be a huge melting pot to meet new people and form bands and groups, so how did you actually meet in college?
C: We were at a party and I was freestyling and Rez started beatboxing and we kind of met right after that. And he had a six-piece band at the time and was really into more of the jazz side of things and he was like you should come down and meet with my band. And so, I came down and it became more of a hip-hop/funk band and the rest is kind of history.
A: I know you play lots of colleges, so is it ever weird to go back and see the environment that got you started?
C: No, it’s awesome. We love college; who wants to leave college? So we’re living the dream out here.
A: Tour started yesterday, so what was the first night like and what are you looking forward to with this tour?
C: Last night was really unbelieveable. It was great going back to Boston, we had a huge turnout and it was just a massive show and I couldn’t think of a better way to kick off the tour; and tonight, in New York, is even bigger.
A: What are you most looking forward to with music?
Rez: I think that we really love what we’re doing and as long as we can keep doing what we’re doing – making music and playing for people – we’re gonna be happy. I think – for me at least and would almost say I think I can speak for Cal too – that what we’re most excited about is being able to work with other people, and artists that we’ve looked up to, and artists that we’ve just discovered, and people that we think are really talented, and get to be in a room with them and put our heads together and come up with some crazy stuff.
