Hi! How are you doing? Thanks for joining us today!
I’m good!
You started performing at just 12 years old, can you share more about your origins?
Yes, so I started at 12 years old with a lot of passion – I started by learning how to play music and then I started working with a lot of software like Traktor and Ableton.
Can you describe the evolution of your relationship with music?
Music has been a passion of mine since childhood, and as I grew up, I became heavily influenced by Neapolitan sounds and culture.
What was the moment or experience that turned music from a personal passion into a serious artistic pursuit for you?
When I met top artists, like Bushwacka! and David Morales.
Which artists have had the biggest impact on shaping your sound over the years?
The most influential artists have been Derrick May, DJ Spen, and Technasia.
How would you define your signature sound?
A solid style of groove and top-tier bassline sounds.
Your 2018 EP, ‘Blackman,’ marked a major milestone for you, hitting the Top 10 in the Tech House international charts. What impact did that success have on your career at the time, and how have you continued to evolve and build on that momentum since?
The track ‘Blackman’ bought me to Barcelona, playing a major event at Go Beach Club, with an amazing line up.
Can you walk us through your typical approach when creating a new track?
I tend to start with the groove, as that’s the most important part of a Tech House track, and from there I try to capture the bassline and blend the right frequencies until I’m left with a well-balanced mix.
Can you tell us about your influences?
My influences include a range of different styles, artists, and sounds from across the musical landscape.
When you’re performing live, what do you focus on to create a fully immersive experience for the crowd?
When I’m performing live, I’m always focused on the energy on the dance floor and trying to read the crowd to ensure they remain engaged in the sounds I’m offering.
How do you craft a set that connects with the dancefloor?
Usually, I prefer to prepare my tracklist ahead of time, but I’m always open to adjusting it to ensure it’s impressive and focused on the audience.
Are there any particular tools or pieces of gear that you consider essential to your workflow?
At the moment, I’m exploring new set ups and studio processes.
Where do you see your sound evolving in the next year or two? Any new directions you’re excited to explore?
I just want to be immersed in the sounds from around the world.
Finally, for listeners discovering you for the first time – which track of yours should they start with, and why?
They could be start with my track ‘Blackman’ – as of right now, I’d say that’s my most well-known song and showcases my sound best.
