Today, I was able to sit down with Cold Drop to discuss their inspiration to write music, heroes, and much more. Be sure to check out the music of Cold Drop on Spotify below after the interview!
Interview:
What inspires your songwriting?
Our music is inspired by our emotions and everyday life. Sometimes it reflects darker moments, other times a more positive mindset. Most of our lyrics are based on personal experiences.
What kind of music influenced you growing up?
Although we’re from different age groups, rock and hard rock were consistent influences for all of us. Bands such as The Sweet, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Yngwie Malmsteen, Black Sabbath, and Judas Priest played a major role in shaping our sound.
Did you have any musical heroes?
Many of our influences come from 80s hard rock bands — their image, stage presence, and energy. Those elements are reflected in our live performances, where we focus on delivering a high-energy show, not just the music.
If you weren’t musicians, what would you be doing today?
It’s difficult to imagine life without music, but we would likely be living more conventional lives, working regular jobs, spending more time with family, traveling occasionally, and building a stable future.
What advice do you have for aspiring musicians?
Believe in yourself and stay committed to your goals. Success rarely comes easily, and support can be limited at first. Persistence, ambition, and consistency are essential — if you keep pushing forward, opportunities will come.
