#Flume lord full
It was really based on the fact that I was living with my parents and that I could leave and make music full time. I wasn’t making a huge income or anything. I was stoked to be able to leave that and just be able to write music. I don’t really like dealing with people that much. I actually worked at Hard Rock Café for a few months as well as a waiter. I worked part time jobs at a news agency for a year, pretty much straight out of school.

What were you doing at this time a year ago? What I used to be doing was, I came straight out of school and basically I smoked and played video games for like six months, then I was like, “Fuck this, I gotta do something.” I always wrote music my entire life-it was always a big hobby and passion of mine-but I decided to get serious about it, so I uninstalled all of my computer games and I quit smoking and I basically just focused on doing the music and getting stuff done. Before he caught a plane, he recorded this surprisingly rappy FADER mix and hopped on Skype for a quick chat about working at the Hard Rock Café, bong rips and a local newspaper called The Manly Daily. Right now, Flume is in the middle of his first European tour, with plans to come to the US very soon. His self-titled debut beat out OneDirection and The Rolling Stones for top place in Australian iTunes last November that LP will be released in the States on February 19th, via Mom + Pop. 21-year-old Australian electro-pop producer Flume-real name Harley Streten-already has a number one album under his belt.
