Q: Before we dig in, what's next for you?
Currently, I have quite a large number of demos I am getting ready to send to labels to get my release schedule ready for next year. I’m also working with my team and we are about to start a major brand expansion, and I’m in talks with certain artists about plans to join a couple of tours this Fall.
Q: Tell us about a memorable moment from one of your live performances?
This is memorable but in a different way…I was playing a show once at a club. I was on an elevated platform looking over the crowd. While in the middle of my set, I felt someone grab both of my ankles. Let me tell you…that is a very weird feeling that you don’t realize is weird until it happens…but when will this ever happen to a normal person lol. Anyhow, I turned around and looked down and it was this girl asking to request a song from Bad Bunny. I can’t make this stuff up haha.
Q: How does music impact your life?
It shapes everything I do, from both a professional artist standpoint and a consumer. I’m constantly listening to music throughout every day. I use it for inspiration on projects, I use it to relax, I use it to work out, I use it to get away, and everything in between. Not just electronic music, but all genres. It is the core of who I am.
Q: What's the most embarrassing song on your playlist?
oooooof lol. A handful of Backstreet Boys songs.
