In an episode of SceneZone, the band Route XYZ was introduced as a rising force in the OPM scene, aiming to deliver meaningful and relatable music. Their mentor, Lem, emphasized that their direction is centered on creating good music for listeners while telling their own stories through each song.

Route XYZ was formed through Lem’s vision of returning to the basics after nearly two decades in the music industry, following his time with his previous band Callalliy, which rebranded to LILY. Drawing from his experience, he brought together Evo and Hiro—artists he had previously mentored—after recognizing their potential to become part of a new musical journey.

The band’s early days were far from easy, especially during the intense 15-day challenge of building the group from scratch. Despite moments of doubt and difficulty, Lem pushed forward with the goal of inspiring new artists to persevere and continue pursuing their dreams even when starting from nothing.

For the members, discipline and patience became essential in their growth as artists. Evo shared that building something meaningful requires starting with the right discipline, while the group collectively highlighted the importance of trusting the process and finding joy in making music.

Ultimately, Route XYZ represents more than just a fresh sound in OPM—it reflects a story of resilience and ambition. The band hopes to be recognized not only for their music but also for their journey as artists striving to reach their dreams from humble beginnings.
