Forever In Your Mind Remember How They Became a Band with YSBNow

Forever In Your Mind are living the life right now — they just dropped their new EP, signed with Hollywood Records, and are the three final guys in YSBnow‘s “Boys of Summer” feature.

The guys — Ricky Garcia, Emery Kelly, and Liam Attridge — opened up about coming together as a band, dreams, music and more. Check it:

On becoming a band: “It’s so easy to just quit. But me and Emery stuck it out together. We had each other’s backs at that moment. We knew we had something special..It was a sad time, but you can’t give up. We had hope � and that hope was Liam.”

Emery on staying true to who he is: “I wasn’t considered a popular kid. I was treated kind of poorly because of my passion for music and acting. But I just stayed true to myself and told myself it’s going to be okay because if I keep going on this road, it’ll lead me to something better than this.”

Ricky on ignoring the haters: “There are always going to be people who say the stupidest things on Instagram or Twitter. You can’t think about what other people think of you � that just makes you more self-conscious. And you shouldn’t be self-conscious about the way you look or talk or speak. You should be yourself and you shouldn’t be afraid of what people think.”

Liam on following your dreams: “Stay true to who you are and surround yourself with people who love you unconditionally. If you just follow a dream, it can come true. It will come true. It’s persistence, perseverance, and knowing that this is what you want. Follow your dreams, don’t let anyone tell you no, and always remember: You’re so beautiful now.”
