Evolution has played a powerful role throughout their career, and it became the key theme in their last album, 2017’s Evolve. Writing all the time also means the band are well-positioned to grow and change. These four individuals sincerely love what they do, and through dedication, hard work, talent, lots and lots ( and lots) of practice, and a little luck, Imagine Dragons have beat the odds to succeed beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. While one could posit that they’re forever chasing the next big wave, or that between the four of them, there’s an unnatural wealth of inspiration and creativity, the truth might very well be a lot simpler. Perhaps the secret to Imagine Dragons’ continued and sustained worldwide success is their commitment to and infatuation with songwriting. The four-piece – consisting of lead vocalist Dan Reynolds, guitarist Wayne Sermon, bassist Ben McKee, and drummer Daniel Platzman – are always writing songs, whether they’re on tour, in the studio, at home, or on vacation. Over the past six years the band has released a steady stream of exciting, dynamic, and inescapable songs – from 2012’s “It’s Time,” “Demons,” and “Radioactive,” to “I Bet My Life” and more recent releases like “Believer,” “Thunder,” and “Natural.” Their three studio albums – Night Visions (2012), Smoke + Mirrors(2015), and Evolve (2017) – paint a picture of a band that is constantly moving forward and forever building upon the past, whether or not they’re consciously aware of it.
Today, they’re the ninth most-listened-to artist globally on Spotify, with over 40 million monthly listeners. It feels like just yesterday when Imagine Dragons were a lesser-known cult favorite – that rock band from Las Vegas with the big sound. Imagine Dragons’ Wayne Sermon dives into the band’s writing process and work ethic, their evolution over time, his favorite moments on ‘Evolve’, new music, and more!
