This past week Red Bull Sound Select brought Orlando Cherub, check out my Q&A with Jason of Cherub!Doses and Mimosas is a song that we all have grown to love, let's see what Cherub has to say about that!Did I hear that right? A FREE concert sponsored by Red Bull? You got that right. On Wednesday April 16th, the Red Bull Sound Select Tour made it’s stop in Orlando with a fantastic performance by the talented duo Cherub! The Red Bull Sound Select Tour brought a free performance of the band to all the big college universities here in Florida. The tour bus turned stage came straight from Tampa and from Orlando will travel to Gainesville then on to Tallahassee. The concert was held outdoors at Firestone Live’s very own music park and attracted many fans to witness quite the performance. Complete with LED lights and inflatable pool toys, Cherub performed all their classic hits and even gave us a sneak peak into their new album! I was lucky enough to land an exclusive interview with Jason of Cherub the day of the show. Dressed in funky MC Hammer pants and a floral varsity jacket, Jason was great to work with. Check out my Q&A!

Q: How are you enjoying Orlando? J: It’s going good so far, we got to get really drunk at Epcot. We drank around the world, it was fun. We chose Epcot because we wanted to have a really good time on our day off and we did!

Q: How did you and Jordan meet? J: We met awhile ago, almost 8 year ago, but we were both going to school for music production just outside Nashville. We went to Middle Tennessee State. 

Q: Your genre is basically described as Electro Pop, who would you say is your biggest influence? J: Jordan is our songwriter. The biggest influences for us is late eighties, early nineties pop music and R&B music. We both love dance music and stuff like that but directly as an influence it’s really that early nineties pop music.

Q: Okay, let’s talk doses and mimosas… what made you write that song? J: We enjoy mimosas all the time. There are lots of things that have gone into writing the song “Doses and Mimosas” and at the same time really not much at all. It’s kind of funny, it’s a song that we never meant for it to pop off. We figured it couldn’t go to the radio it couldn’t do anything like that. It’s funny to us because lyrically it’s really a sad song, but for some reason people like to party to and we like to party to it because everyone else does. It’s something that everybody can get and connect with, but nobody likes to say themselves. 

Q: Who would be your dream person to collaborate with?
J: Me personally I would love to collaborate with Trent Reznor (of Nine Inch Nails). Jordan always says Mariah Carey. I’m not even sure if they’d make a song. I think he’d just like to sit around a camp fire and talk. 
A big thank to Red Bull Sound Select and Jason of Cherub for making this night unforgettable and putting on a fantastic performance. Best of luck on the rest of the tour!
