"Hard times make great music,” says Kill Paradise frontman Nick Cocozzella. “We’ve given up everything we have to chase this dream of sharing our music with the world. We’ve missed family, friends, birthdays, holidays and had to make a lot of sacrifices to be in this group, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Music is what drives us to wake up every morning.” Hard work and sacrifice are two things artists need to have in order to survive in today’s cut throat music business.
