What single night out has been the most memorable for you? As a DJ? As an attendee?
As an attendee… Printworks in London. I went right after I’d started learning how to DJ and suddenly for the first time I would stand still and analyze what the DJ was doing instead of dancing! It’s an amazing venue and the vibe was huge. Didn’t really notice security guards around either - haha!
What are your future plans for your music career?
I am currently working towards releasing my first EP, which I’m really excited about. I’ve written loads of tracks with quite a variety of styles, but haven’t fully decided which soundworld I want to go with for the short term. For the future I want to keep building up my DJ career and making that closer to a full time thing.
What is your advice to emerging talent and how they can set aside any fears and pursue their dreams with courage?
Emerging talent - go for it. If you love something and are willing to work hard and learn the ropes, you can do anything. I think the best way to gain courage is to listen to the stories of artists who went before you, who overcame their own doubts and struggles. Hearing that getting to where you want can take time and that it’s not always a straight path to get there is really encouraging. We usually only see people’s success and their ‘end product’ rather than their journey, but there are plenty of podcasts and interviews available that tell of a bigger story. One of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever received is to never compare your beginning with someone else’s middle. You’re not where they are, yet, and that’s fine. If someone else can get to where they want to be, why not you?
'Trafalgar Square' is a sexy and fun dance number complete with a gorgeous, silky voice.
