00:00So I'm Olivia.

00:01I'm Cameron.

00:02We're Majesty Fam.

00:03So we're playing Transmet, it's in Glasgow Green.

00:07This is our first year playing it, so we're very excited.

00:10So yeah, buzzing.

00:11Buzzing for it.

00:12I think we were just like, kind of shocked to be honest.

00:15We got the email through and we were like, my god.

00:18It's like, totally buzzing.

00:19I think I phoned you straight away.

00:20Yeah.

00:21To like, yeah, I don't know, going mad about it.

00:23Yeah.

00:24Just mental to think, so.

00:26I think it's just obviously like a festival that everyone knows as well,

00:29so like, even maybe people that aren't into music, like,

00:33people in my family and stuff can recognise that it's a big festival.

00:37So, yeah.

00:39Buzzing.

00:40Excited for it.

00:41We're just, yeah, buzzing.

00:42Kind of started, like, I'd done music before,

00:45but I could never sing over it, so I'd always look for someone else.

00:49And then I think I kind of knew Olivia through mutual friends.

00:53Literally, like, Instagram DM'd her.

00:55And then, yeah, we'd done one song, I think.

00:58And then, just kind of, grams and legs.

01:00And then, yeah, we just kind of are where we are.

01:03I think the music in itself is quite, like, nostalgic, kind of 80s influenced.

01:08And, yeah, like, kind of funky as well.

01:11So, we just kind of mash it all together and hopefully it sounds good, I think.

01:15It usually always kind of starts with Cameron,

01:17because Cameron does all the production stuff.

01:20And he'll, like, produce, like, maybe, like, a verse and a chorus or something.

01:25And then he'll send me it.

01:27And then, like, we start to put, like, lyrics and, like, vocal melodies down and stuff.

01:32I think we share quite a lot of the same influences.

01:35Like, we're saying about, like, the 80s, like, thing.

01:39We're, like, both obsessed with, like, 80s music.

01:43Like, Simple Minds of Blue Nile and all that.

01:45And, yeah, I think we've just kind of used that.

01:49And then also our love for, like, current pop music.

01:52And just kind of mashed them both together.

01:55Yeah.

01:56And, yeah, that's kind of the process.

01:58We just kind of, like, we always just do things, like, together, I guess.

02:03Yeah, that's it.

02:04And just try to take different influences and different songs.

02:06And, yeah, try and make the next one different.

02:09But still sound like us.

02:10Yeah.

02:11None of my family are really, like, musical.

02:13Apart from my uncle who plays guitar.

02:15But music was always, like, around my house and things.

02:17And then, yeah, I don't know.

02:18I went to school of rock.

02:19And then dad's literally got my first guitar.

02:22And, yeah, not looking back.

02:24I always had, like, parents who didn't really, like, push me to, like,

02:29pursue, like, I don't know, like a more solid career or something.

02:33I don't know.

02:34But, like, I always sang and, like, loved music.

02:37And my mum and dad both, like, obviously loved music when I was growing up.

02:41I just knew that that's what I wanted to do.

02:43And I just thought, may as well give it a bash, I guess.

02:46And, so, yeah, fingers crossed it works out.
