Justin: Pagsibol, germination. Everything about our growth as SB19 from the beginning up to where we are today.
Pablo: Ayaw po namin na iisa lang yung tunog na madidinig nila pag napakinggan nila yung EP. The next song, iba dapat yung mood nila. Parang nasa rollercoaster sila.
77
If you could rate your growth as artist from 1-10?
Stell: If I could rate this question, it would be a 10 for difficulty
Pablo: 1, kasi hanggang ngayon natututo pa rin kami. Mahirap i-gauge yung learnings. Hindi ko alam kailan ako titigil.
Stell: Every day is a learning process.
78
What inspires you to make music?
Pablo: Outlet ko ng sa anger, frustration, sadness. Nung nakita namin na nahi-heal din yung iba through our music, "Hindi lang pala ito para sa 'kin." Pag sinasabi ng fans, "Your songs saved my life, 1st honor ako." Makes us want to work harder.
79
Josh: Modern age na, may Internet. Maraming inspirations, hindi lang kami ang gumagawa nito. Sabi nila gumagaya kami sa K-pop pero talagang yung mundo ganito na
Stell: Maging open na sana tayo. The world is changing! Bakit natin pipigilan ang tao maging komportable sa gusto nila?

Outfits sa concert:
Stell: Best way to describe it is maging ready kayo sa outfits na makikita nyo. Kasi kahit kami nagulat. As in, "WOW." Sobrang dami nyong makikita at mae-expect. Ifu-fullblown namin lahat ng performances, pati wardrobe. Para 'di sayang yung binayad nyo.
82
What can your fans expect sa @RollingStone and @iHeartRadio appearance?
Josh: Online lang naman po, hindi engrande unlike pag personal kami nag-guest dun. Pero ma-expect nila kami pa rin naman, pinaghahandaan namin lahat ng interviews pero huwag po super expect, kami pa rin ito
83
Pablo: Lahat po ng kanta sa EP interconnected. Sa mga music videos, mapapakita po.
Yung "What?" iba yung atake niya sa "Mana." (*SPOILER DETAILS HERE, ABANGAN NA LANG*)
84
If you can talk to your past self:
Stell: Bukod sa congrats, maging matapang ka pa. Nire-ready ka pa lang ni Lord. Make sure ready kang harapin lahat. Hindi lang success, may failures din. Just be thankful sa handang tumulong at gumabay sa 'yo.
87
How does it feel to be one of the first men known to redefine gender standards in Philippine fashion (mainstream)?
Josh: Bakit tayo magkaka-limitations kung ano ang dapat isuot, yung nakasanayan mo lang ang susuot mo? Pwede ka naman maging creative —
88
Unforgettable production moments?
Josh: Nagsuntukan po. Jok lang
Justin: Inunti-unti po namin yung production. Like yung "Mapa" magkakasama kami sa condo, si Stell naglalaba nun, nung tinanong kami ni Pablo kung ano gusto namin sabihin sa parents namin.
89
new hobby: manood ng esbi mall shows and performances from 2017-early 2020 😭 cuties

If you can talk to your past self:
Pablo: Mas gamiting pa yung time mo na mas efficient. Mag-aral ka pa ng mga bagay-bagay para mas ma-maximize mo yung skills mo.
(A very Pablo answer btw)

para ma-appreciate kami. Pero sana maging open tayo at hayaan natin ang mga tao mag-express ng sarili.
Pablo: Innovation doesn't happen without change. Yung iba kung ano yung nakasanayan, yun na. Pag may bago, shina-shut down nila. Dapat hindi kinakahon yung mga bagay-bagay. ++
94
Which song was the most challenging to write?
Stell and Justin: Parang hindi naman po siya nahirapan...
Pablo: Yung "What?" kasi merong tempo change. Mag-iiba yung feeling. Yung lyrics kailangan sasabay sa feeling na pagbabago. Dun pinakamatagal at mahaba rin yung kanta, 5 mins.

What's on your Spotify playlist?
Pablo: Old songs, classics. Goal ko to create music na timeless, kahit kailan mo pakinggan may effect sayo
Stell: Same. Diana Ross, Air Supply, Bee Gees. Mga pinapakinggan ng parents ko nung bata ako
98
My question: What's your message to those who tend to box you, na "Ito lang dapat ang sound nyo, ito dapat ang branding and look nyo, these are the only topics that you should speak up about?"
Josh: We expected this naman, lagi namin sinasabi na it will take some time (cont'd)
