What are your favourite tracks?
Too many to mention :)
Who are your musical influences?
I basically learned everything myself, how to play the keyboard and chords etc. Later I took piano lessons for 1,5 years, to find out more about the theory, how to read notes and learn the chord progression, but to be honest I forgot most of the theory. I am not much of a theory guy, I rather find it out myself.
What does music mean to you?
A lot, I think about it day and night. My head is always filled with melodies and music... sometimes so much it keeps me awake. I decided to live with it.
What advice do you have for anyone looking to get into the music
industry?
It changed a lot last 5 years or so. Don’t expect just to become the next new top10 DJ, but it’s a long and hard way to get some knowledge at all. Just start as a hobby and see where it goes, finish your school and don’t quit your job. I do it fulltime now, but I did it all slowly. First I worked 5 days a week, then 4, after a few years I started a new job for 3 days a week, Monday and Friday were for travelling and producing.
After that went well, I started to do it fulltime and I never regret that decision.
What does the future hold for you?
I hope a lot more music. Nowadays I also produce all different kinds of music, also pop things for singers and I did some things for commercials etc. Really nice to do and expand your boundaries, it’s also helpful to open up your mind for other influences.
Any last words?
Thanks a lot for the interview and I hope to see you all at one of my next gigs.
