What music did you listen to as a child?!
I listened to a lot of music when I was young, for family reasons. I could not live with my parents, so I spent time in my grandfather's house with my mother's brothers for seventeen years. The family was growing and the area of knowledge increased with it. I was always familiar with music from my childhood, but I did not reveal my love for it due to my interest in other things, like any child other than his infancy with the world.
When was the first time that you realized that you liked electronic music?!
I remember very well that I was in my early twenties and I had a strange love for practicing music, but I did not know the way yet or what my favorite genre was yet. Until one day I was working in !an Internet cafe and I found someone watching a genre I had never heard of before. It was Skrillex, so I !memorized the name well and when I finished my work I started my research.
When was the first time you saw a DJ in a club?!
I was on the beach once about 10 years ago and a DJ was playing Intense for Armin Van Buuren and that's when I bought my first dance music album.
Which producers/artists/acts inspire you? !
Of course, Avicii, the missing legend, is my icon, and look at the first two letters of my !name as evidence, and one of the best tracks of it is Levels, but there are many more like Armin Van Buuren, Swidsh House Mafia, Skrillex, Tiesto, Artbat, Anmya, innellea, Ben Bohmer, Tale of Us, CamelPhat, Kevin De Vries, Agents of Time, Massano and Monolink.
What was the last album that you downloaded/bought? !
Unfortunately, I didn't own many albums in my life because I was a fan of single releases, but there were two. Armin Van Buuren - Intense and and Avicii - True also Stories.
What is your current production and DJ set up like?!
production gear:- iMac late 2011, no monitors, headphone Samson SR850, no audio interface, no hardware gear. and my favorite synthesizer is Serum, Diva, Kontakt, and O!mnisphere2.
What releases do you have on the horizon?!
Actually, I'm doing a lot of upcoming projects out there. See you coming here on trip records I made it for my daughter, she is my energy and a source of creativity It's called Focus, and now no release date has been set. I'm currently working on a new EP, I haven't decided the number yet, but I !think they won't be less than 6 tracks, and I'm currently finished with the second track in the group.
