Phil Elms: Powered By Energy Drinks

Powby, aka Powered By Energy Drinks, a digital creator since 2017.

"If i am going to be honest about music, or, really, not just music but everything I make? I work on it. A lot. I put effort into making it seen. Not just for myself, but for an audience out there. Like, ever since I was a kid, my grandparents used to have a video club back in their home, they'd rent out cassettes, and they'd let me watch movies and stuff, so I picked up filmmaking from them, always dreaming of making my own movie, or my own story one day. On that note, I don't 'know' how to make music. How to make videos, or how to write. I 'feel' how I should do something, and I do it.

"Every idea I have in my head, I polish it from my head and present it to others in a way that I find comfortable, while at the same time possibly disturbing, offending, or even making others laugh, sympatize, and feel with me. That's the magic of it. Making a product of what you love shared with the world and saying 'yes, hello. This is me right now. In this moment in time'. If not for others, you'll have a bunch of stuff for yourself to watch when you're older, and that is why I believe you should always work on yourself, on your stories, on your music, to make it as 'you' as possible. You may not be able to remember who you were one day in the future. You'll look back and not recognise yourself, but you'll know you had fun. You know?"
