1 . Tell us about your journey towards becoming a DJ / Producer .
Before I started DJing , I was a guitarist for a band . I started playing a guitar since I was 9 years old and after tha , t I started picking up drums after a while . My music career began when I had to perform in a church ’ s gospel group . Followed by that , I ’ ve formed a band that has been quite active around Kuching . After a while , I ’ ve decided to quit the band and I moved on to electronic dance music from there .
I started producing when I was in the band and I used FL studio to create some music using the software . We couldn ’ t afford to produce music in a proper recording studio , so we decided to do a home recording studio instead . In 2009 , I started using music theory , which I gained during my time in the band and used it to produce EDM tracks . I started DJing first and afterwards , I started producing my own tracks .
2 . Which DJ / Producer inspired you the most ?
It would have to be Deorro . His styles consist of a great drop followed by the snare roll on the drop , which compliments the whole track . I like the energy in his tracks , which is very refreshing from my point of view .

2016 looks like a good year to do more producing . I ’ m looking to be signed under a record label , hence I will be busy sending my demos to multiple record labels and hopefully I will get signed soon .
Some of the plans I have in mind consist of traveling around the world to spread my music and my artwork
