home. This search and construction reflects back onto my music.
When I first moved to London to pursue music I felt slightly alienated and overwhelmed by it's size and huge drain like appearance on grey rainy days. These circumstances gave me a great deal of nostalgic emotions as I tried to ground myself. Over the years I have started to feel more accustomed to the city and managed to channel these complex comparative emotions into creating music. With my music I try create; a sense of reminiscence to my scattered roots of comfort, a place I feel very passionate about, that travels with me wherever I go, a space I call a nostalgic wanderlust home.
Who are your biggest inspirations?
First of all I would say family. Besides that, people who broke my heart play a role in both positive and negative ways as a break up can leave a bitter sweet taste and are a great source of creativity. I also love going out to a random venue in London and checking out bands. The passion of these underground musicians and their music often inspires me and wants me to push my own boundaries. Besides people, I also get inspiration out of the contrast between nature and city. I love getting drowned in the serenity of an open field after leaving a buzzing busy city. I recently was fortunate to camp out in the middle of an African savannah and the huge contrast between it's darkness at night and the never ending London city lights I usually experience inspired me a lot.
Do you have any upcoming shows/releases?
Last week I released my first music video 'Gold waves'. The next step is to get a few songs to be mixed and mastered for an EP which should be out sometime around June. A live show is still in the making and I am hoping to do it after the EP is out.
What is the single most important thing you want your fans to experience through your music?
Emotion. Often people think black and white as in happy and sad. I'd like to think that my music can bring both elements together.
By writing songs, I can often find a reason to why I think or feel a certain way. Especially in this day
