I’m from Chicago and we don’t have Jersey Club but we have Ghetto House. It’s not the same style of music but it comes from the same place. Baltimore Club, Jersey Club… it all comes from inner city release. In some cases it’s the only release these kids have.

Earlier you mentioned if people in Chicago weren’t making music they’d be in the streets. What advice and encouragement would you give the kids in their rooms making beats in the south side of Chicago or Newark. What advice and encouragement would you give them to keep pushing and doing music? Stick with it. Keep making music and try to connect with everyone you can. The Internet is everything. Use what’s available to get your music out there to get heard. You dropped out of college to pursue music. Were there any mentors that helped you to create your music and form the style you have now? For the most part I’ve done everything myself. I’ve been making music since I was 15. I went to college because I figured it was what I was supposed to do after high school. I went and I didn’t like it very much; I was skipping class. I would stay at home and make tracks. If you have a passion for something then just go 100 and go for it. Nobody is asking where you went to school. All they care about is if the beats are hot. I think people who follow their passion see that in other people and respect that. Looking back I was pretty determined to make music. And I feel like it should be that way - there ain’t no Plan B. Brenmar’s “Award” EP is out now via Fool’s Gold Records FAULT 20 | FACES 113

Do you ever get used to all the curiosity about your life? Well, to me it’s not really curiosity—it’s money. People put a sort of “truth” together: they make up a story and they sell it. That has actually turned me into a bit of a hermit, really: I only go out [with] friends or to certain restaurants, etc. It’s the downside of being in the public eye, for sure.

LOGAN LERMAN IN THE LEADAll clothing by Marc Jacobs Lerman’s performance in Perks is one that is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever felt the pitfalls of being a misfit, but it’s not all drama and grade school trials: The story is also humorous and loveable. Altogether, the film is “real” in the best possible sense, which makes it something viewers can actively relate to on many levels. It’s no great secret that that isn’t an easy accomplishment for a high school hallway drama to pull off.                     Talking to Lerman is not like interviewing a celebrity: His style of conversation is level-headed and very career- centric. He discusses his projects, and he works closely with his family. It is undoubtedly this ability to stay grounded that has allowed Lerman to keep getting roles that take him to the next level, and he couldn’t be happier. “I’m excited about Perks coming out. It was ... a big investment for me for a long time”, says Lerman. “Another film I’m excited about [is] called Writers, which is going to be at the Toronto International Film Festival. There’s also Noah; it’s a very cool movie. We just started filming. To work with Aronofsky has kind of been a dream of mine since I was a little kid.” Haunted by publicists, managers and their predecessors’ failures, actors can be understandably guarded. Lerman, however, doesn’t just spit out platitudes and stay on the safe side. He’s not afraid to speak up about what he wants or doesn’t want. So, with such a commendable persona, what might his FAULT be? Well ... it’s nothing, actually. “My FAULT?” he asks. “My god, I wonder ... I don’t know how to answer that. I do a lot of things, and I don’t call them my FAULT. It’s just what makes you... you.” words RACHEL ELEANOR SUTTON photography MIKE RUIZ styling JENNY RICKER ISSUE 12 styling assistant KRISTINA MORSE grooming RHEANNE WHITE FFAAUULLTT2200||FFAACCEESS 125 Special thanks to Annie Schmidt and Samantha Marshall
