Are there more opportunities and more diversity in the EDM scene compared to others? I don ' t think there are more or less but I do think it ' s hard to get out there and do all that is required well e. g. Social media, making music, getting people to listen to your music, managing radios, labels etc. The opportunities are hard to find and you work a lot for them but I don ' t think that ' s different than anyone else
You have gained particular success and fans in Europe – how do you find the scene differs here compared to the US? Europe has been amazing to me. I love all my Ahzee fam but hold a special place for my European family. They were the first to give me a platform to get my music out there. I ' d say in Europe they take more chances on new talent. I literally posted my song on SoundCloud, had like 2 followers and within 2 months got that song signed to a label In Belgium. The first time I played a large festival in Belgium, I was blown away. The fans really came out for the music. Not to drink or chat but it was all for the music. The US has its own style and charm and I love it as well but it is different.
Do you think there was a particular reason your music has resonated with EDM fans in Europe? I ' m not sure. It all happened fast and I just went for the ride. It ' s been amazing and I hope it ' s because they feel the same magic I feel from the music I make. Europe is where it started but now the Ahzee family has grown into Asia, Middle East, Tahiti, South America and practically all over the world. I have fans that write me from everywhere. It ' s what keeps me going and drives inspiration.
Do you have a favourite city in Europe? Lots, some examples- Nice, Brugges, Istanbul, Paris, Geneva
Where has the best club scene in the US and also in Europe? For me there are a lot. I love the music festivals. They have an energy to them that really makes all the hard work worthwhile. They bring a diverse set of people and sounds together. So I ' d have to say they top the event space for me. Many nightclubs top the list, some that were memorable include Pulse cafe in Belgium, The Loft in Paris, Mad Club in Switzerland and High Club in Nice. US, I ' m now getting into touring here
