While at New York City’s Electric Zoo (QRO recap), Butch Serianni, a.k.a. OddKidOut, talked with QRO about his new EP Weightless and more:
QRO: What is your favorite track of the Weightless EP and why? (It can be all of them)
Butch Serianni: It is hard to pick a favorite. They are great for different reasons.
“Thief”: I haven’t made anything that quite sounds like that track before or after, so it feels unique to me.
“Cloudy Stories”: I had the amazing opportunity of working with San Holo.
“Wish You Well”: It puts me in a happy mood.
“Apologize”: This one holds a special place as a departure from the bad things.
QRO: Are there any artists that you are looking to collaborate with?
BS: The list is long in terms of dream collaborators; I like to let things happen naturally but sharing knowledge with Pharrell would be cool, outside of music.
QRO: Who gives you the energy to keep this production going?
BS: It is a combination of two things- this is what I do and it helps deal with the bad things in life.
In addition to that, making my parents proud is the goal. It is a necessity for survival and I am doing it for the people I love.
QRO: Ideal space(s) you enjoy playing in/creating music in?
BS: Creating music at home gives a different feel in comparison to big studios and the bathroom breaks are a plus. I get surprised everywhere I go when playing live because people are there for the art and experience of the music.
QRO: What’s next for OddKidOut?
BS: More music, more shows, more collaborations, as well as continuing to be myself and interacting with anyone who comes my way.
