Q: Can you tell us a bit about yourself and how your childhood impacted your musical direction?
A: We both grew up in households that loved listening to music. Influences we still have today stemmed from it being played non-stop as kids in our home, for Connor this is where he fell in love with Motown, Soul, and 80’s Rock and for Oscar it was musical theatre, big band and jazz.
Q: How are you planning on growing your fan base and sharing your music with the world? What message do you have for anyone who is about to discover “Mister Co.”?
A: Our message to anyone finding Mister Co. is that if you want to follow a true love story filled with nothing but good vibes and positivity we are the band for you. We are set to release our debut album “On This Journey” on May the 4th of 2024 along with our debut headline show on the same night, this is our official launch into the Melbourne music scene.
Q: Who is the most inspiring artist for you right now? And where do you find inspiration for making music?
A: Allen Stone is by far our biggest inspiration right now, we actually went and saw him in Melbourne and after the show we sat down and went “let’s do this”! Still to this day we have him on repeat…
For our debut album our inspiration is the first 10 years together, as friends, as business partners, as a duo and now as husbands.
Q: Can you tell us about the story or message behind the song, “Better Lives.”?
A: Better Lives is a celebration of those couples, working hard and striving for greatness side by side to achieve a better life.
Q: How would you describe your sound in one word for potential listeners?
A: Retro
Q: Did you face any challenges while writing or recording “Better Lives”?
A: I wouldn’t say challenges, but it was originally a ballad we flipped into a dance track.
Q: What is the message of your music? And what are your goals as an artist?
A: Our message is one of authenticity, connection and celebrating the journey’s we all experience.
Being only 12 months into Mister Co. we are just taking each opportunity as it comes with all of our focus currently on our debut Album.
Q: Who is your dream artist to collaborate with? (dead or alive)
A: PRINCE!!!! We even named one of our cats after him…
Q: What is your advice for people interested in pursuing music as a career or for those trying to enter the industry?
A: Work hard, never give up and always say yes to opportunities that will help advance your career and provide further exposure
Q: If you could go back in time and give a younger you some words of wisdom, what would they be?
A: After having a serious burnout and both of us taking 4 years off music, I would say take it slow, be kind to yourself and remember to stop, reflect and recharge.
