I was invited to an intimate Q&A session with Galantis for AOL’s Build Series which took place a day before night one at Hammerstein.

Songwriter/producer Christian Karlsson brings a lot of cred with him as a member of indie pop band Miike Snow, and Linus Eklöw sometimes known as Style Of Eye also has an impressive list of clients under his producer belt.

Coming from that type of background, Galantis spells freedom for Karlsson and Eklöw. They spoke about their latest single “Rich Boy’ which features a manipulated vocal track of an 8 year old girl singing, who happens to be a daughter of one of their friends.

Karlsson joked that with Miike Snow, he can’t really manipulate the singer’s voice. I mean, the singer would surely get mad right? This is true for most bands with a vocalist, but with Galantis, the voice can come from an 8 year old girl, or really anyone for that matter.
