Miloe BY KINGA MOZES Miloe started as lead singer Bobby Kabeya’s SoundCloud project in 2017, and has blossomed into a rising indie pop band. The Minneapolis-based band features Theo Galetka on the drums, Dom Winterbauer on bass, and Thomas Schroeder on lead guitar. Keep reading to find out about Bobby’s interests and inspirations.
: How would you classify your genre of music?
: Do you wish you could drop out of school forever and just do music?
Bobby: Indie pop, but I don’t really like to put our music into a specific genre or category.
B: No, because if Miloe does get successful I would love to go back to school and study what I really want to study.
: Where does the name Miloe come from? B: I don’t really know, but I think it might be because I was listening to “Mylo Xyloto” at the time, and that was the first Coldplay album I really listened to. Coldplay is a big inspiration.
: How hard is it to juggle school and music? Do you wish you could just do one? B: Yeah, I wish I could do just one. I feel like I have to half-ass one of them. Sometimes I’ll have to stop working on music to do school work, or the other way around. It’s definitely challenging, and if I go on tour I’ll have to take a semester off or something.

: What do you really want to study? B: I think graphic design would be really cool. I also have an interest in photography. I’m currently studying communications and marketing because I think what I learn could help the band, but my actual interests don’t really earn you money.
: What is your favorite venue or show you’ve performed at and why? B: Probably the Varsity Theater show; it was in the summer. The energy at the show was just different. There were a lot of people there that I don’t normally see at shows, so that was really cool. We were just so loud there. We played with Qani and Atomic Cafe. It was a lot of fun.
