Check out the Jersey based Electro-Hop trio: Scy, Bry, Pwol; aptly titled the “Triangle Offense.” If you’re a fan of raw-witty lyricism and just pure good music for your ears, you can expect these guys to deliver.
1. What is the start-up story behind both your pursuits as artists?
Bry: We’ve been friends for many years and individual artists during our college years. We’ve helped produce each others work, and through those experiences we found that our musical minds combined could create something special. That’s how Triangle Offense came together. Our 3rd member, Pwol, is continuing his education in the Philippines and we use different internet tools to share our music and ideas together. We’ve completed our first mixtape using this method, spreading our story of friends sharing a musical bond that spans across the world.
Sci: DYLAN…DYLAN…and…DYLAN. We spit hot fire.
Bry: What do I think of suck-sess? It sucks! Too much stress, I guess I blew up quick… Sorry Em/Jay, had to borrow your lines. In all seriousness, success is doing what you love, being able to share it with people, and making a living out of it. We’ve got the first part down, the second is coming along just fine, and the third will come in due time.
Sci: We’re thankful for being where we are in just a year and a half. In this time, we’ve made and released some music and videos that we’re quite proud of, performed for many different crowds and had the pleasure of meeting a lot of new people. We’re learning a lot about ourselves during this journey as well, which is the ultimate reward. There are some specific achievements that we can name, but all in all, being able to do what we love is what we’re most proud of.
Bry: How fast things change. When we first started our journey, we had nothing except the music and a plan. In about a year, we’ve experienced a lot of ups and downs, met a lot of great (and maybe not so great) people, and we’ve begun to see the transition from what started out as a hobby to a full time career.
Sci: Shake Shack. We LOVE burgers. “LOVE” like…”Fatal Attraction” love. “Crank up the Luther Vandross and Barry White” love. “Powder blue Roc-A-Wear suit, white Nike” love.
Bry: When our first mixtape was completed. We put in countless hours of hard work towards that project and to finally have it in our hands, ready to give away to the world, was an amazing feeling. We knew that this first mixtape could be the beginning of something exciting. So many emotions, frustrations, blood, sweat, tears, limbs, and guts were involved in the process. But we knew that if it could change our lives even in the slightest way, it was worth it.
Sci: Don’t be afraid to put your heart into either one. While it might hurt sometimes, it will only be fully rewarding if you know you’re giving your all. Even in a loss, knowing that you gave it your all leaves with you without regrets.
Bry: Failure? A lot of what we go through is trial by fire. We don’t know all of the outcomes to the plans we have with our music. Failure happens when you don’t have a plan, or you don’t stick to your guns. With that said, we never feel the feeling of failure as long as we learn from our mistakes and stick to what we believe.
Sci: We can show you better than we can tell you…

Bry: When we signed our first autograph. It meant a lot to us that someone wanted to have our signature on their stuff.
Sci: Just being there for each other. Our music career will only work if we work together. We’re really a team. We all wear different hats and have different responsibilities, but we’re friends first. Real friends are there for you at your best and also your worst. Real friends inspire you to do your best and pick you up when you’re down. That’s what we do for each other. Also, we make sure to not carry around any towels to throw in.
Bry: I don’t know if its a risk (yet), but sticking with our game plan. There are so many times as an artist that you may feel that what you’re doing may not be working, but as long as you trust your circle (in our case, a triangle) and stick to what you believe in, you don’t really have much to lose.
Sci: The Kardashian sisters. We hope we can be a trio as amazing as they are.
Bry: We put a lot of time and effort in reaching out to our fans, whether its using social media or in person after a show. It’s important to us to thank as many people as we can for coming out to a show, and for them to stay in contact with us through social media so they can watch us grow. Its also important that you answer as many questions fans may have, and always provide them with content when they hit our pages up.
Sci: Crazy, sexy, cool. Tender, love, care. T-Boz, Left Eye, Chilli. The Learning Channel. Sorry. 12 words is the least we could agree on.
Bry: We mentioned Shake Shack already right? From a musical standpoint and aside from the obvious (YMCMB and MMG!), we really admire Far East Movement and Theophilus London’s way of marketing their brand to their fans. They’re internationally known but have that grassroots work ethic. We also admire Apple. Think different.
Sci: There’s so many things that go into it. Not taking on too much and being aware of our limits. Part of being strong is knowing your weaknesses. We’ve learned to focus on what we do best. Being a jack of all trades is cool, but can be worthless in the long run if you’re a master of none.
Bry: Not sure exactly, I haven’t decided between the Maybach or the Bugatti. Musically, I hope that we’ve made our mark in the music world and contributed into the next generation of music. Other than that, all I can wish for is that in 5-10 years we’re all healthy and happy.
