What first drew you to music?
My answer too that is actually pretty odd haha, what first drew me to Music was an rave I went to with some friends. It was unlike any other kind of energy i felt before. Amazing vibes and it just felt so good to be there. Then I looked at the DJ and thought that could have been the greatest feeling ever. I had always been into music, but just didn’t decide to really chaser it until that day. So honestly i started out as an EDM DJ, got my way into producing then kind of steered a into hip hop. I definitely hope to work with some EDM artists though as well as rock.
Your track “What You Want” is absolutely amazing! How did you achieve such a great signature sound in such short time? Also what is your creative process like?
Thank you so much I really appreciate it. As an artist i try to be as flexible and creative with my flows as possible. I try to make today’s sound while making a future sound and my own sound. I also try create things that I myself can listen to myself so i’m always putting myself in the listeners shoes as well. Lastly experimenting and recording as much as possible. As for my creative process it is all over the place. There isn’t any like set process, I try to be as free as possible not setting any restrictions on myself. Like “What You Want” the idea for it I came up with it in my car when i was driving and heard the beat. So i’m honestly always creating there isn’t any breaks really.
Going over your soundcloud we can tell you love experimenting with new sounds. Can you tell us more about your studio setup some of your favorite pluggins/instruments?
My studio setup expresses myself to the fullest. Anime all over the place honestly. In terms of pluggins/instruments I don’t really use just any one thing. I record in and mix fl studio, but will be transitioning to pro tools soon. I just use regular EQs that are in the base fl studio. Same for reverb and delays. I don’t really have this one amazing pluggin everything is stock really. As for producing I use Nexus and Omnisphere, those are my go to pluggins.
Your music sounds very organic and authentic. Do you play any real-life instruments?
At the moment not really. I can play the digital piano a little bit and use it occasionally, I have an Akai MPK Mini. I played guitar when i was younger, but its been so long I need a refresher. I hope to learn more piano and guitar in the future though.
What are you musical goals for the future?
At the moment my goal is to form a really solid fan base. I’m also focusing on refining my sound and adding more elements to it to make it a sound just for myself. As for the future, I haven’t thought of it to much. I have just been figuring everything out as I go. I definitely hope to be on bigger stages of course and hope to work with other talented artist.
What are your goals for the coming months? Any upcoming projects we can be excited about?
My goals for the coming months are making as much music as possible, exploring different scenes for music networking, building up my fan base and really establishing myself as an artist. To answer your second question, yes, there is a project in the works. This project will be a solo project with just myself and no one else. I am really excited about it myself, I’m looking to really give people a view of myself and just a feel of what I can bring to the table as an artist.
