How did you become Fellow Fellow?
Khao: We studied product design together at Rangsit University. We both loved the same genre of music: soul-pop like Bakery Music put out. It’s hard to find people my age who like this kind of music, because they all prefer rock bands such as Bodyslam or Big Ass.
Tee: When I learned that Khao could also play music, I asked him if he wanted to play with me. We didn’t want to be a big band, so we decided to play as just the two of us. Then we decided to upload our songs on YouTube—when the people at Sony Music saw them they called us up to join them. Our total views hadn’t even reached 3,000 yet!

What’s the story behind your single’s name?
Tee: I found that often when a couple fight, they choose to stay silent rather than talk openly about what’s happening and to solve the issue. When I told Khao about this observation he went and put it into words.

What do you make of the Scrubb comparisons?
Khao: Well, I kind of understand them; we are both duos and we also wear glasses like them. But if you listen to our songs, we are very different from them. They are more rock while we are more easy listening.

What do you normally do apart from the band?
Khao: I work as a composer. Apart from that I also have to take care of my yakiniku restaurant, Shinkansen, that I opened with my uni friends when I was a student.
Tee: I work as a session pianist and guitarist for other artists. I also help with my family business, VRH, producing faucets. I’ve loved drawing and design since I was young, so I enjoy the job. A set of faucets that I designed, called “Radian,” won the Red Dot Design Award in Germany in 2010. But now, I just want to focus on what I really love, and that’s music.

What have you learned from your business experiences?
Tee: From working in design, I’ve learned that even though something may look good, it might not be practical production-wise. Now, I pay more attention to all aspects of the process.
Khao: Running a restaurant is really tough. When we decided to open a small grill restaurant, we thought it was going to be easy. But in fact, we’ve had to deal with all kinds of troublesome customers and staffs. Money issues can really affect friendships too.
