Q.1 Aidan and Leonardo, thank you for your time! Could you please introduce yourselves to our audience and give us a little background on how CATDADDY came to be?

Leo – “Aidan and I have known each other since elementary to High school. Our friendship formed through our first collaboration ‘Apples’ in 2021. We really enjoyed the process of creating together. They shared, applied and understood how to work through the good and bad ideas. We decided that we make a great team, and our characters compliment the other. Our shared love for funky music allows us to find that common ground to combine both of our interests into the Funky Fusion that is our music.”

 

Q.2 Please share with us some of CATDADDY’s main musical influences?

Aidan – “There are different sounds and elements you’ll hear from many decades of music. It’s familiar, but fresh. I think that we mirror sounds from the 80’s till today. Artists like Hall and Oates, Parcels, Daft Punk, Silk Sonic all inform our process.”

Q.3 In terms of production, what aspects of “SUPERPOWER” are you most proud of, and how did those aspects contribute to the overall sonic quality of the track?

Aidan – ‘We brought back Armando Baeza who did the drums for our past two singles, and he created something punchy that rolls along nicely with Leo’s bass line.” LEO – “Our production decisions were inspired by Rick Rubin’s approach of ‘less is more’ in a video of him working with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. With that in mind we tried not to overproduce SUPERPOWER by keeping it simple – guitar, bass and drums.’

 

Q.4 Is there a particular ethos or any sentiment behind this single? There’s a clear, inspirational message of embracing your inner superpower… What events inspired this?

Aidan – ‘I wrote the lyrics for SUPERPOWER. Songwriting has always been a form of therapy for me. ‘Superpower’ represents your freedom, your self-love and respect. When we give away too much of ourselves to others, we’re left depleted and incapable of showing up as our best selves every day. This song helps people find the courage to show up for themselves the way I did.’

 

Q.5 Please take us behind the scenes of your journey as you created this project as a whole?

SUPERPOWER is the third track on our CATDADDY EP! It was truly a blast creating this record. We were giddy the whole time. We recorded everything in our home studios, and Armando sent us his drum tracks from his studio in Nashville. The record was mastered by Stockholm Mastering.’

Q.6 How would you compare “SUPERPOWER” to CATDADDY’s previous work? Did you notice any evolution, improvements, or new directions in style?

‘I think that writing this song helped us find our voice and we now understand where we want to go next with our music. In terms of the whole project, all the songs are so different and shows that we can do it all as long as we stay true to ourselves in the writing process.’

 

Q.7 Do you have any specific aspects, lines, and or phrases of the song that you would like to talk more on? Any deeper meanings or fun inside information you can give us?

“Oh my, such a tough guy. Do you really think you’re stronger if you never cry?” I think that line challenges our emotional awareness and maturity. It invites you to be introspective, open, and available to ourselves. We have a running theme throughout a lot of our lyrics, and that is discovering the light in the darkness.

Q.8 Can you share with us a standout moment in your musical career? Have there been any surprises along your journey… any high points, and, in contrast, any difficult moments?

‘We were fortunate to work with Matias Bylund who put an incredible horns section on our debut single. Matias has worked with such notable figures as Justin Timberlake and The Weeknd. Getting to work with him was a huge honor!’

Album Review

R3b3l I explores self-discovery through sound on “A Different Frequency” album

R3b3l I

In a music scene often ruled by lyrics, R3b3l I proves that you can tell a powerful story without a single lyric. “A Different Frequency” is a twelve-track instrumental hip-hop and rap-inspired album inviting you into a deeply personal journey of growth, self-discovery, and purpose, speaking its message purely through mood, rhythm, and expression.

“Dance Before the Throne” opens the album, immediately establishing the tone of reflection and reverence. From here, “Elevate” and “The Wave” continue, adding momentum and a sense of movement and change. Each piece is a chapter in a larger story, allowing you to interpret the music with your own experience.

Songs like “I AM Power,” “Level Up,” and “Awaken” seem to be a big part of the progression of the album. The energy is one of empowerment and inner evolution.  “The Jazzy Hop” is a nice change of pace in style, with a smooth, groove-flavored taste that shows R3b3l I’s versatility. Meanwhile, “Carousel,” “Raindrops,” and “Heartbeat” are moments of introspection that balance uplifting themes with emotional depth and openness.

The project wraps up on an emotional high with “Ancestors,” a heartfelt tribute to the forebears and the invisible forces that still influence us on our journeys. It’s a fitting way to close out an album about connection, growth, and purpose. “A Different Frequency” is more than a collection of tracks with carefully constructed instrumentals and thoughtful sequencing, and it’s a rewarding journey for those who want immersive instrumental hip-hop with heart, imagination, and substance.
