1- What made you decide to pursue an artistic journey? What was special about the moment?
I’ve always had a passion for creating music. Even as a young child, I was playing instruments and teaching myself songs off the radio. By the time I was a teenager, I knew I wanted music to be an important part of my life.
2- Which artist inspired you most to start producing music?
As a teen I was particularly inspired by Peter Gabriel and the sounds he was getting.
3- What is the biggest drive behind your creative process as an artist?
We all have a need to leave our mark on the world, however small. Leaving behind some music that would otherwise not have existed, and that may bring pleasure to someone else, is my contribution.
4- If you could describe the emotions (or transcended meanings) you aim to fulfil with your music, what would they be? Why is this important to you?
I want the listeners of my music to experience something that I’m experiencing in the music, a feeling or emotion. It’s something that cannot easily be described with words, but sometimes can be with music.
5- In a world filled with countless songs and artists, what is the mark you wish to make with your music?
I like it when people find a track of mine by accident and end up enjoying it. That’s enough of a mark for me.
6- If you could change one thing to better the lives of artists (such as yourself), what would that be?
I’m lucky to have been born somewhere where I can pursue an artist’s life. Let’s have more of this.
7- Do you have any advice for young producers who just started their musical journey?
Read and absorb Rick Rubin’s book, The Creative Act. There’s a lot of misinformation and superstition about the creative process. Rick lays it out like it is better than anyone else I’ve come across.
