“Eclectic, cinematic & experimental”

From being born on different continents to meeting through model castings, the backstory of how Emmanuel Lawal & Ashton Gohil came to form AUDI0comingS00N is as interesting as the experimental music they produce. With career highlights such as being guest DJs on Capital Xtra, performing on stage with Samuel L. Jackson and a slew of club residencies in London, Ibiza and Amsterdam – the duos rise is well underway. We sat down to chat with the two and talk all things music, style and the next chapter.

How did you guys get into music production?

Has your modelling backgrounds helped you musically in any way?

Most definitely, In many different ways. When making music, we drew from our experiences and imagination. Our modelling background has definitely helped and enhanced that!

How did you come up with the name AUDI0comingS00N?

Describe your style in one word.

A: Cozy

What are your favourite fashion brands at the moment?

If you could only wear one brand for the rest of your life, what it would it be and why?

E: Acne, because its practical, comfortable and clean.
A: Burberry! They design for every occasion.

Do you have any advice to give to young people looking to get into music production?

E: Make the music you want to hear on the radio, not the other way round.

What’s coming soon for you both?
