Although they live in Los Angeles and lives in a huge house with a swimming pool along with manager Amanuel Kidane, insists that it is little partying.
– If we are at a party, then it is most likely because we act on it. I have not understood how artists can work all day, then get drunk and go into the studio again the next day. We go at least early if we have the opportunity. We must recover between battles, says Dery.
– It feels wrong to spend my time on fixing if you have a product you’d like to get out. When we get time, we need to rest your body so that we can work even harder afterwards. Or use the time for friends and family. We do not want to burn the candle at both ends. We will make the right choices so that we can reach our potential, says Nicolay Sereba.
Many temptations

But they are not high on the bulb, insists Nico & amp; Vinz.
– No, absolutely not. But there are certainly many who had handled it in a completely different way. It’s about how well we are raised and what is important to us. There are many temptations – wanting to live in clover, spend a lot of money or ladies – but we are not tempted. We have so much we want done and have not achieved what we want yet. It makes us humble. It keeps us down, explaining Sereba.
Several major players in the American music industry has knocked on the door at the Norwegian duo recently. But no one has gotten snatch.
No to star producer

It has made their album “Black Star Elephant”, which can already be streamed in Spotify, the ofnon.
– We have mostly worked with producers William Wiik Larsen and Thomas Eriksen, in addition to the Stargate. Sirkus Eliassen has also written one of the songs on the album. It was just the guys who managed to hit our sound, not foreign, says Sereba.
Boyfriends home
Land Scourge “Am I Wrong” has meant that Nico & amp; Vinz has been harassed by the world’s biggest celebrity website TMZ, when they have been in New York.
Star status also meant that there are several ladies who contact.
– You get so much more mojo when the ladies find out what you’re doing. When you are interesting. But we are so much traveling that we have had so much ladies for us, really. Our focus is not there, says Sereba.
– They are very proud of us and the patient. With the internet, we are in contact with them all the time. It’s the distance relationship – but it works in a good way. Sometimes they come to visit us and sometimes we are with them, tells Sereba.
