Brandon took the first question and revealed the first time he was ever recognized in public.
“One of the first ones I can remember is actually being in Target,” he said. “Yeah I was in Target, I was grabbing stuff for the house, actually and I was so thrown off because somebody called my name and I thought it was somebody, like a friend I knew, and then when they asked for a picture I was like…oh, this is…I’m supposed to take a picture with you now. So I was probably really awkward.”
The guys also shared their first celebrity encounters, the first bandmate they go to for advice, first celebrity crushes, and more.

During the chat, Brandon revealed that the guys don’t write all of their songs as a group.
“When there’s five people, it’s a little too overwhelming…because we all have ideas…What I love is that everyone brings something different to the table…[For example,] I love working with Austin because he will say something that I would never think of…and then I have a whole new outlook,” he explained.
That doesn’t mean that creating a PRETTYMUCH bop isn’t a group effort though. Edwin added that the guys have all learned a lot from each other as artists since forming the band.
“In the beginning, we all had our strengths and weaknesses but now living together, and pushing each other and motivating each other, we’ve gotten to a point where we’re molding into…my strength…becoming his strength…learning from each other, little by little,” he said.
The EP shares a name with its title track, “Phases,” which PRETTYMUCHreleased as a single last month.
In addition to “Phases,” the band’s new EP marks the debut of five brand new tracks – “Gone 2 Long,” “Eyes Off You,” “Temporary Heart,” “4U,” and “One Shot.”
PRETTYMUCH kicks off their FOMO tour this summer on July 11th in Dallas, Texas.

The 14-year-old singer has something in common with the five-piece boy band – she also has an album called Phases, and PRETTYMUCH‘s new single is called “Phases”.
The FOMO tour will kick off July 11th in Dallas, TX, and make stops in New York City, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and more before wrapping August 16th in Vancouver, BC. Tickets are on sale now at LiveNation.com.

They even shared throwback pics of themselves, going in through certain “phases” in their lives.
“Phases” was co-written by group members Edwin, Bran, and Zion and produced by Some Randoms. The video, which also dropped today, was directed by The Young Astronauts.
