Aaron is a very dear friend of ours, and we couldn’t be more excited to be introducing him and his music here on our blog! Not only is he a completely heartfelt person, he’s also one of the silliest guys you’ll ever meet, so we thought we’d take this chance to show you all the sides of Aaron we’ve come to know and love.
Storenvy: Hey, congrats on the release of your new EP!
Aaron Hale: Thank you! I’m really excited about these songs and where they might take me!
Have a listen — here’s a promo video we shot in Kansas City:
SE: As friends of yours, we got to see first-hand all the hard work that went into the creation and promotion of this album. Can you share a bit about the inspiration that made it all worth it?
AH: The goal of my music is to bring people together. There is a word/philosophy in Africa called Ubuntu, which describes people’s relationships with each other. The literal translation is “I am because we are.” A person who demonstrates Ubuntu is someone who recognizes that we are all a part of a greater whole, and that I am who I am only because of you… and that how I treat you, directly affects me, as well. It’s a philosophy I try to base my life around.
SE: And of course, we love the story of all your design work — Jon and I even got to be IN it! Tell us about it.
AH: Well, my wife is a super talented designer. She does all my design stuff. It’s ridiculous how talented she is, honestly… very conceptual. When we talked about how we could incorporate the Ubuntu philosophy into my EP’s artwork, she came up with this design. It features almost thirty of my friends’ and family’s silhouettes on the back. Each person represented has played a huge part in the person I am today, and it means so much to have all of these wonderful people incorporated into the artwork of an EP that means so much to me.
