The newly emerged hip hop duo and lyrical maestro’s behind “In The Cloud”: Flight School – comprising of Day Diz & Musique, recently gave us more valuable insight on what’s boiling in their minds, how to keep your heads above waters in the music industry, as well as a glimpse of what their day-to-day life is like. Check out our exclusive interview with them!
1. Describe your sound concepts, what is it like? What are three words that best define it?
[Flight School:] I don’t think we can put a label on our sound. When we get in the studio and come up with ideas, we go with what ever feels right at that particular moment. The reason we started Flight School is because we both wanted to experiment and not have to follow a certain formula.
2. What is your definition of success, and how much of it do you think you’ve achieved?
[Flight School:] For us success is being able to live of Music. Of course a big house and a flash car would be nice but for the time being we are just happy to be making quality music. As far as achievements go, we are at the start of our Career, we have only yet released one single as a group.
3. What are some recent achievements you’re proud of and would like to share?
[Flight School:] Our first single “In The Clouds” would have to be one of our greatest achievements. We are also really happy with the response we got on our “trust issues” remix – over 70.000 views on Youtube.
4. What’s something that’s always running inside your mind lately?
[Flight School:] We are both so busy lately that we hardly have time to think haha. Both of us are really focused on finishing our first album so we can release it (for free) on December 15th on www.welcometoflightschool.com
5. What would you spend a million dollars on?
[Flight School:] I think we would probably build a nice studio with an Ocean view somewhere in California and just make music all day
6. What’s one incident that would serve as a turning point to your life?
[Flight School:] The two of us (Day Diz & Muzique) linking up and deciding to start Flight School. Before Flight School we were both producing and writing for other artists. This project has really given us the chance to show the people what we are all about as Artists.
7. What three pieces of advice would you give to others when it comes to life and career?
[Flight School:] The early bird gets to worm! if you want to make it big you gotta put in the hard work! but apart from that, i think you need to be passionate about what you do …and most of all you should have fun with it.
8. What have been some of your failures, and what have you learned from them?
[Flight School:] You’ll hear plenty of stories on the album, i think we will let the music answer that question haha
9. What’s a typical day in your life like?
[Flight School:] We both pretty much make music all day every day. If we are not working on Flight School together then we are individually producing and writing for other artists.
10. What stops you from throwing in the towel and giving up during those frustrating days of being in this industry?
[Flight School:] It’s the passion and the love we both have for Music. We both have days where we doubt ourselves or think we are not good enough, but who doesn’t! We just try and keep each other motivated and keep it moving.

[Flight School:] our inspirations for Flight School would Drake, The Weekend, Frank Ocean, Tyga, Miguel, Joe Budden…stuff like that.
12. How do you go about marketing your business or yourself? What has been your most successful form of marketing?

[Flight School:] Sports and Women! haha and of course kicking it with friends and family
