COMMENTS FROM THE CREATORS:

DREI ROS | “‘Excuse My Accent’ is more than a song for me, it is a statement. The song is not only the story of my life, it is the story of many immigrants that moved from all over the world to the United States to live the American dream. We are living in a time where division is at an all-time high and I believe that things will only change if we decide to see each other as human beings first. It is my hope this song can inspire and bring people together through the tough times we face as a country and as a world.”

ROB YOUNG | “As a songwriter you know a special moment is created through music when you see the connection to listeners. ‘Excuse My Accent’ is a beautiful piece of art because it extends beyond the music and is a translation for real life human experiences. It’s a story of the celebration through struggle. I knew this was a moment when I began writing it. As soon as Drei and I came up with the concept we knew it isn’t a song, it is an anthem to a modern day movement.”
