No matter what genre of music you are listening to, there is always an influx of incredible new talent to discover each and every day. Being able to explore there world of up and coming artists is always an adventure and boy do we have a treat with today’s premiere. Coming to you live and direct is none other than bass producer Torbjørn as he teams up with Nurries to bring forth an absolute heater of a track. “Wanna Go” is packed with super sonic sound, creating both an uplifting and heavy hitting soundscape that is not to be beat. With Nurries vocals combined with Torbjørn’s gritty bass sounds this track is one we are going to have on repeat for a long time. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Wanna Go”, a certified bop.

“Wanna Go” is an uplifting, hard-hitting take on how to put a little vacation in everydaylife. Tropical sounding flutes and choir sounds are juxtaposed against gritty bass synthsand trap drums. With Hawaiian emcee Nurries on vocals and Torbjørn’s high-energysound design, “Wanna Go” gives both rap fans and bass music fans a reason to puttheir hands up. Life’s a vacation and we travel there like all the time.

Diving Deep w/ Torbjørn

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 started music really young, as an orchestra kid. My grandmother set the tone in our family a long time ago, that all her kids and grandkids had to try and learn an instrument. Myself and a few cousins got pretty good, but ultimately the poignant moment was in my teens when I started becoming aware of recording technology. I worked my way up to first chair/concertmaster violinist in my youth orchestra, so dedicating time and effort to doing something at a high level has kind of always been in my blood. From being a solo artists, to a producer/engineer, or a DJ or you name it… I’ve just stayed consistent and driven to try and do my best, and luckly now I get to say that I work in music full time. (And thanks to a lot of help along the way.)

2. It can be very hard sometimes separating music from day to day life when it’s a huge part of your life. How do you personally separate your artist life from your everyday life, and have you faced any challenges doing so?

Meditation, focusing on gratitude, exercise, and reaching out to friends with conversations that aren’t about music. I really believe in yoga, though I’m not practicing as consistently as I’d like to currently. I have a good streak going with my wim hof breathing exercises, which is SO crucial in clearing my head between studio sessions and normal life. I try to play basketball a few times a week to stay fit, and I hit people up on social media / texting basically non-stop.
3. As an artist, you can experience a number of road blocks along the way to achieving your goals. What motivates you to continue to be creative and make music even when times get tough?
You’re either winning, or learning. I’m fortunate to have had a lot of cool opportunities throughout my career, but life hasn’t been perfect… When a record bombs or a show gets cancelled, or when two months go by and I haven’t written a new song, it’s important to use moments like that as a lesson or motivation to be better down the line. I feel like I don’t get discouraged very often, though. Sure there’s moments of impostor syndrome, or inadequacy, that anyone in their right mind will experience now and again, but on the whole I just feel compelled to work on art all the time and at any cost. For better or for worse!
