Serj Tankian, the legendary frontman of System of a Down, recently sat down with Chasta and Baby Huey to talk about his upcoming solo project, Foundations, and reflect on his career. Serj shared his love for playing select festival gigs over full tours, appreciating the support of SOAD’s loyal fanbase. They also touched on the lasting impact of Toxicity, which Baby Huey nostalgically called the soundtrack to his high school days.
Chasta brought up the band’s genre-defying sound, sharing how she’s been introducing their music to her young son. Serj, always insightful, discussed the importance of staying true to one’s artistic purpose, even if it means losing some fans. They also dived into the power of travel for gaining new perspectives, recalling Serj’s time filming with Anthony Bourdain in Armenia. The interview ended on a personal note, with Serj leaving us all with a simple truth about music: “The freedom of being lost.”
