Exron Exclusive Interview: Mojave Grey

Exron Music has been able to catch up with the duo Mojave Grey on their day-to-day!

Amid the busy schedules of both Michael Pozzi and Zander Bleck, the creative geniuses behind Mojave Grey, Exron Music has been able to sit down for an exclusive interview with the talented artists. Having performed all over in clubs, in Aspen, the Desert, the Hamptons, LA, and a roof in East Village (to name a few) the duo is gritty and determined. Amidst a major single drop, “Ride The Fire,” the duo is planning for world domination with their first full-length album coming this spring. Check out what the talented duo had to say below!

Exron Music: Tell us the story of how both of you met and decided to make music together.

Mojave Grey: We met on a 17-hour flight to Dubai.  We connected deeply on that trip and just really vibed. Our level of ambition and respect for each other matched. That made all the difference. 

Exron Music: How did you come up with the name Mojave Grey, is there a meaning behind it?

MG: We are based out of Joshua Tree which is in the Mojave Desert. The Grey represents the middle area of life that’s neither black nor white. The nuance and all the magic that comes from there.

Exron Music: After the launch of “The Edge of the Night”, and now more recently, “Ride the Fire,” what’s next for Mojave Grey?

MG: We have quite a bit planned.  We will be continuing an aggressive release schedule and we have our first, full-length album coming out this spring. We’re also going to continue building our live show and growing our Mojave fans all over the world. 

Exron Music: What are each of your favorite ways to fight writers or creative block? Any advice you would give new artists if they’re battling any sort of creative blockages?

MG: Be in nature. Don’t force things, but also work very hard.  Hard work helps to increase inspiration.  All creativity comes from the ether. You have to dig and search for it.  Let it in. Let it flow. I also believe changing your environment is a huge help for inspiration too. Never get into too much of a routine. 

Exron Music: Joshua Tree and the Desert is important in your visuals as well as your sound. Are there any other deserts you would like to visit or create music at?

MG: The desert is such a vast and mysterious canvas to create from.  The extreme environment where the only life that can survive is the strongest, most resilient. It’s so beautiful.  We want to see and perform in as many as we can.

Exron Music: When not producing, how do you pass the time? Any hidden talents?

MG: We have lots of hidden talents.  A lot base themselves around art.  We try to combine as many of them as we can into our Mojave world.  

Exron Music: Do you remember your first CD? What was it?

MG: The Police, Greatest Hits (Zander), Joshua Tree, U2. (Pozzi).

Exron Music: If Mojave Grey could collaborate with any artist ever (alive or passed), who would it be?

MG: We love music from so many genres. But maybe Coldplay or Rufus du Sol.

Exron Music: How do you find inspiration, is it a moment? Or a passing thought?

MG: It’s in a moment for sure but you have to work towards creating those moments.  You can’t always wait for them to come.  Create and they will come.

Exron Music: When you are playing music for friends and family, what song are you choosing? 

MG: La femme d’argent by air and Norrland by Gidge.
