InkSpired Magazine: Who are your influences in terms of music? Tessa Lizz: We have been inspired by a lot of artists, including Knife Party, Porter Robinson, Kill the Noise, Excision, and Skrillex. InkSpired Magazine: The two of you have quickly become social media sensations. How has this affected your careers and personal lives? Tessa Lizz: We started booking more gigs and a lot of people actually come out to see us and would know our music. It is an amazing feeling; we’ve been working for that since last year. We did not have the name ARIUS until last summer, so it’s been 1 full year for us as ARIUS. InkSpired Magazine: Tell us about your modeling career. When and how did it begin? Tessa Lizz: I started modeling around 16. I never got too serious with it; I only did a few magazines and some commercials in Maxim, FHM, Import, and Playboy (nonnude). InkSpired Magazine: In addition to music and modeling, what else do you like to do? Tessa Lizz: Snowboarding, fishing, working out, health, and dancing. 34 InkSpIredMagazIne.coM
