Connecting the dots of rhythm, melody, and life experiences is second nature to acclaimed New York City-based DJ, producer, and songwriter, INViDA. With more than a decade of experience in the music industry, INViDA has carved a unique niche for himself by blending diverse dance genres into a harmonious fusion of sound. His collaborations and songwriting prowess have earned him recognition among EDM heavyweights, making him a force to be reckoned with.
Recently, during his visit to the lively Nexus Lounge Miami, INViDA sat down with Nexus Radio’s very own Xio to share some insights into his musical journey and creative process. The sun was shining bright, signaling the perfect day for a vibrant chat. As INViDA settled into the groove of the conversation, he radiated the energy and enthusiasm that fuels his musical endeavors.
Reflecting on his journey, INViDA revealed, “You just have to take whatever life throws at you and make the best of it. Even if it seems like a bad thing at the time, there’s always a silver lining.” This mindset pervades his work, lending his music an undercurrent of resilience and optimism.
Among the highlights of the discussion was his latest release, “Deliverance.” A funky, soulful house track that he described as one of his first forays into the funky house genre. The record reflects INViDA’s ability to gracefully maneuver musical styles, driven by his love for authentic emotion and compelling melodies.
On being asked about his creative process, he candidly shared, “I like to just play chords on the piano usually, find a progression that I really love, and kind of build it up from there.” This step-by-step method allows him to channel his emotions and dictate the direction of his production. His primary instrument, the piano, often acts as the conduit for his creative expression.
Throughout the interview, INViDA’s wit and worldview shone brightly, especially during the fun quick-fire segment. When asked who he’d trade places with in the cartoon world, his immediate and laugh-inducing response was, “Stewie from Family Guy. Yeah, Stewie.”
As an influential artist, INViDA continually draws inspiration from the unexpected, such as museums or random walks. He’s a testament to the idea that inspiration surrounds us; we just need to remain open to capturing it. “I’ll be in a museum and I’ll have an idea for a melody, and I’ll be like, voice memoing something by a Monet,” he shared, illustrating how creativity knows no bounds.
As the conversation winded down, INViDA took the opportunity to encourage listeners to check out his music, particularly his collaboration with Curtis Richa, which promises to be part of the upcoming Ibiza 2025 compilation.
