Laura:
What genre of music do you consider Apex Aura to be?

Peter:
We categorize Apex Aura as modern hard rock, although it truly serves as a fusion of all the genres dear to our hearts.


Laura:
What’s the ultimate direction for your band?

Peter:
The ultimate direction for Apex Aura is a continuous journey of exploration, evolution, and connection. We see our band as a dynamic entity that's always growing and pushing boundaries. Creatively, we aim to delve deeper into our musical roots while experimenting with new sounds and genres. The quest for innovation and authenticity is at the core of our artistic vision.

On a broader scale, we aspire to reach and connect with a global audience. Our music is a universal language, and we want to share it with as many people as possible. Touring extensively, collaborating with diverse artists, and participating in major music festivals are all part of our roadmap to bring the experience of Apex Aura to fans worldwide.

Beyond the music, we're committed to fostering a community around our band. We want our fans to feel like they're part of something meaningful, a shared journey that goes beyond the notes and lyrics. This sense of unity and connection is what we believe makes music truly powerful.

In essence, the ultimate direction for Apex Aura is a boundless exploration of sound, a global presence, and a tight-knit community of passionate individuals united by the love of music. We're excited about the path ahead and grateful for the support that propels us forward.

Laura:
How would you describe your music-making process?

Peter:
Typically, the lyrics are penned first, and then the instrumentals are crafted to complement them. However, there are instances when the music takes precedence. In the studio, I often prefer to allow the creative process to unfold naturally and just "let it happen.”

Laura:
Why call the band “Apex Aura?”

Peter:
Loosely interpreted, the band's name signifies "Positive Energy Exclusively." We hold the belief that the "Apex Aura" is embodied by those who, in essence, are realizing their destiny. Their radiance is evident, showcasing that they are actively engaged in what they were meant to pursue. The Apex Aura represents the resonance we transmit to the universe when we are wholeheartedly immersed in our human journey, passionately embracing what we love.

Laura:
What should fans expect to experience at a show?

Peter:
Attending an Apex Aura show is more than just a concert; it's an immersive experience that we craft with passion and dedication. From the moment you step into the venue, you'll be enveloped in an atmosphere that resonates with the energy of our music and the camaraderie of our fan community.

Expect a dynamic and high-energy performance that reflects the raw emotion and intensity of our songs. We pour our hearts into every note, creating a live experience that transcends the recorded tracks. The stage is where we come alive, and we want our fans to feel that connection with us.

Our goal is to leave you with lasting memories. So, expect to be moved, inspired, and connected to the heart and soul of Apex Aura. It's not just a show; it's an unforgettable experience that we create together with our incredible fans.

Laura:
Typical question here. Who has influenced you the most via music?

Peter:
My most significant influences personally include Asking Alexandria, Hollywood Undead, Devour The Day, Palisades, and Memphis May Fire.

Laura:
How can fans and future fans locate, listen to and buy your music?

Peter:
We want to make it as easy as possible for our fans to access and enjoy our music. You can find our tracks on all major streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. Simply search for 'Apex Aura' to discover our latest releases and dive into our discography.

Laura:
Is there anything else you would like your fans to know?

Peter:
Absolutely! First and foremost, we want to express our immense gratitude to our fans. Your support means the world to us, and it's what keeps us going. Without you, none of this would be possible.

We're always looking for ways to connect with you more personally, so keep an eye on our social media channels. We love hearing your stories and experiences with our music, so don't hesitate to reach out and share your thoughts.

Beyond that, we're exploring some unique collaborations with other artists that we admire. It's always inspiring to blend different musical influences, and we believe these collaborations will result in something truly special.
