Fudurich is an engineer, multi-instrumentalist and analog enthusiast. As a producer, he has worked with a variety of pop artists but MODERNS is his first collaboration with his own musical output. Okumura is a songwriter, vocalist, and performer who has partnered with veteran producers. She plans to continue writing, collaborating and performing for MODERNS as her sole project and shares her experience: “I can’t describe how excited I am for what Chris and I are creating. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever been a part of; it’s so inspiring to me to work with someone so unique and creative.”

Musically, MODERNS is synth-pop built on an organic foundation. Using vintage analog synthesizers and drum machines, and raw, natural vocals, the music is electronic but not sterile. MODERNS combine traditional and current recording methods, relying on instrumentation and singing without excessive digital manipulation. The result soars -- powerful vocals are given space and depth with music that is channeled equally from retro and contemporary sounds. In essence: modern.

– How did you get into music, and what made you want to pursue a career in this industry.

Chris: I started playing piano at 5 after I pestered my mom until she gave in. At 10 I discovered the synthesizer. It was love at first sight/sound. I ended up in LA and went to the music program at UCLA and I got sucked into the industry then.

Rosie: My dad is a musician, so I grew up around it. I picked up the guitar when I was around 17 because I was interested in song writing. I wrote my first song on an 8 track cassette recorder around the same time. I started playing small shows a couple of years later and realized it was exactly what I wanted to do!

– An artist you would like to collaborate, and or tour with ?

Chris: I’ll give the standard producer answer, but it’s pretty true. Radiohead or NIN.

Rosie: I enjoy writing all different kinds of music, but if it had to do more with the Moderns sound, I’d love to do something with The Knife, Chvrches… Odesza!

Jarre

Don't you wanna be brave when everyone is falling apart? Don't you wanna keep safe when every heart is losing a war? I put my foot down Raise my voice up Oh oh You don't care about it now You don't care about it now I put my foot down Raise my voice up Oh oh You don't care about it now You don't care about it now I just wanna hear you when sorry doesn't cover your words I don't think you mean it when nothing ever happens for sure I put my foot down Raise my voice up Oh oh You don't care about it now You don't care about it now I put my foot down Raise my voice up Oh oh You don't care about it now You don't care about it now
