With each drop bringing a new level of heat, this tracks driving bass lines and wavey synths is sure to get everyone up and bouncing around. There is no doubt that this track will be on repeat for the foreseeable future. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “VII”, a certified bop.
“Vermyllion and I have been big fans of each others music for a long time, and we are excited to finally collaborate and share it with everyone!”
Diving Deep w/ Mythic Rogue and Vermyllion
1.How did you decide to get into music? Was there a certain event in your childhood/life that made you stop and realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?
” I’ve played music ever since I was in third grade. I started with saxophone and throughout the years added drums and guitar. I went to lollapalooza in 2011 and it was the first time I had ever heard electronic music live and it quite literally changed my life. I knew that I wanted to be able to recreate that feeling I felt at those shows and provide it for other people through my own music. Ever since then I’ve been through multiple aliases and have settled on Vermyllion with a refined and focused vibe. ” – Vermyllion
” I’ve always had a deep connection with music, and fell in love with the live scene while attending Vans Warped Tour. The stage presence, atmosphere, connection between the band and crowd, energy, and environment was so captivating. I found myself obsessed with this newly discovered music, and began listening to it 24/7 trying to discover as many new artists as possible. The feeling between these new sounds and I was something that I’ve never experienced. It was there for me when I was happy, sad, angry, in love, broken hearted and everything in between. Becoming immersed in that world made me realize music was something I needed to dedicate my life to. Dreaming to be in an alternative metal band was a difficult aspiration being from a small town in Illinois, as everyone around me seemed to have the same interests, sports. After moving to Denver, I discovered the electronic music scene, which eventually led to falling down the Ableton rabbit hole.” -Mythic Rogue
2. You definitely have a very unique name for your project. Does the name have a specific meaning or derived from something in your life? Is there a story fans might not know about how you came to this name for your project?
“Vermyllion is actually a play on the spelling of the color vermilion which is a shade of red. Red has always been my favorite color and I really feel like it has a powerful energy to it. I try to channel that raw, powerful energy through my music so the name felt very natural.” -Vermyllion
“Mythic Rogue is something that I feel should be defined differently by each individual that comes across the project, and I hope the listener associates it with their own experiences, thoughts, and emotions.” -Mythic Rogue
3. What has been a personal career struggle that you have battled with the most and how has it helped mold your character for the better good presently?
“I went through the longest period of extended self doubt and depression after COVID hit. It happened right as my career was starting to take off and when the music world halted to a start I freaked out a bit. I spent a lot of time doubting myself and thinking that I wasn’t good enough or that music was not important and I should give it up. I’m thankful to say the last year has been a powerful rebirth for me after realizing that my purpose on this planet is to create music and experiences for humans to enjoy. Pushing through those lows really showed me what I’m made of and what I’m worth and I will never doubt myself again.” -Vermyllion
“My biggest struggle has always been an internal one. Living in a world with so much access to art and the ability to create it is such a beautiful thing, but it also opens up a big opportunity for comparison and doubt. Everyone’s journey is their own, so it’s not exactly logical to compare, but a lot of artists I talk to seem to relate quite a bit on that. Finding myself as an artist has really helped a lot, and is still a difficult internal battle, but as I grow as a person I find myself growing more and more confident as an artist.” -Mythic Rogue
4. What has been the biggest lesson you’ve learned since you started making music? Do you have any words of wisdom for aspiring producers hoping to follow in your footsteps?
“The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that the learning process is eternal. There is always a new technique or a new mindset that can elevate your music to the next level. Being hungry for knowledge and growth and never becoming complacent is so important. I’ve also learned that it takes so much time to be a producer. New artists should not get discouraged when they’re not making professional tier music in the first year, or even first five years. It took me almost 8 years of producing to get to the point where I can perfectly recreate what I hear in my head, and have it be something that I truly love and resonate with. Many people will quit before they ever reach that point. Keep pushing!!” -Vermyllion
“The biggest lessons I’ve learned are patience and consistency. The path of an artist is such a long one with so many unexpected turns, ups, and downs so trying to stay as level as possible through it all is really important. Making music through all of these experiences and emotions helps accepting and overcoming it all, opposed to making excuses as to why I can’t open Ableton. The days I don’t feel creative always seem to end up being when I create some of my best art, after I push through the initial mental struggles.” -Mythic Rogue
