Jake Lilje, co-founder of the band Exotopia, shares his journey
with Michael McDowell to create their own band.

Michael and 1 started making music professionally almost
3 years ago. It’s easy for us to communicate with each
other because for one thing were friends. Second, we have
always liked the same music no matter what it is. Third,
we know what the goal is and it’s easy for us to think
alike. Michael and I, just as friends, have always been the
type of people who enjoy standing out and bringing
something new to the table. This is part of where our
playing style, which we classify as Progressive Metal,
comes from. We both enjoy challenging ourselves and as
mentioned before, we try to make something nobody has
ever heard before. Another key factor in why we do what
we do is because all around is we see young bands saying
things like "Writing my new album" or "Here is the
artwork for my band's EP" and then these people never do
what they say. They never put out an album or they never
practice. The bottom line is the old saying "That’s easier
said than done". Michael and I don’t see things we do in
that way. If w'e say we’re going to make an album, then
we’re going to make an album, and 2.5 years and $2000
later we did.
