How did you get started?
We started out just having a lot of fun and exploring music. We wanted to keep doing going with our ideas and play more shows, so we formed Aviyn.
Where do you get your inspiration from?
Musically- between our members there are so many names and genres thrown around idk where to begin. Socially- we are influenced by our lives, the situations that they bring, and its effects.
What has been your favorite venue so far? And what's your dream venue?
That is a tough one, I would say "The Cain's Ballroom" In our home state of Oklahoma. There is so much history there. As far as a dream venue for us, the 2nd stage of vans warped tour would take the cake.
If you had a chance to interview a musician who would it be, and why?
There are so many great minds in music, speaking outside of the other band members, I would have to say Steve Vai. He has amazing insight on music and composition. Also with the hopes that he would intern show me a couple of riffs.

If you could thank somebody for helping you fulfill your dreams as a musician, who would it be? And why?

We would have to thank so many people. Its really about the fans more than anything. We would have nothing without their love and support. Also our friends and family play a big role. We love all of them.
If you weren't involved in music, what would you be doing in life right now?
I cant imagine, not being involved with music in some way. But if anything i would say that i would be involved with film or in the film industry in some way.

If mom was going to make your favorite home-cooked meal, what would it be?

Enchiladas!
What do you do in your down time?
A lot of down time is spend watching movies, reading, and some video games here and there. Most of our time away from playing music is spent trying to further our music. Things like communicating with fans and booking shows ect...
Have you had any really embarrassing mishaps on stage?
Fortunately, none come to mind but im sure there may be a few lurking around in our past shows. 
What positive message do you want to send through your music to your fans?
Our goal with music is to inspire people. We dont have a unified message because there is too much for us to condense down into a single statement. Overall we wanna make a different and give back to others what music has given us.

What bands are your musical inspiration, what bands are your all time favorite bands and which bands did your band the most influence?

There are so many its crazy. I will give a couple that have been prominent with us. Misery Signal, Texas in July, Circa survive, I am abomination.What does your band name mean to you?
What does your band name mean to you?
To us, our band name "Aviyn' symbolizes a fresh start, a new energy. Come to find out the origin is spanish, but we didnt know that at the time. Our drummer happen to present the name and we liked it.
