Find Out Who the Daisy Jones and the Six Cast Used as 1970s Music Inspirations – E! Online

Sebastian Chacon and Josh Whitehouse—who play drummer Warren Rojas and bassist Eddie Roundtree, respectively—both found themselves in mostly uncharted waters.

“I didn’t really grow up listening to a lot of rock music,” Sebastian told E! News. “When I think of the ‘70s, I think of disco and funk and I think of Latin music, mostly. That was right when salsa was invented and that’s what I grew up listening to.”

So, how did his preparation differ?

“I wanted to not dive into contemporaries of our band, but the influences,” Sebastian revealed. “I was thinking, ‘Oh, in the ‘50s is when I was born.’ So I was listening to jazz and mambo and s–t like that.”

Meanwhile, Josh used it as an opportunity to connect with his childhood.

“I never really listened to rock & roll from the ‘70s, particularly,” Josh said. “If I was listening to music from the ‘70s, it was usually Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, James Taylor—the music my parents used to listen to when I was growing up. That was my introduction to anything from that era.”
