In the vibrant pulse of Miami’s Music Week, a buzz hums through the Nexus Lounge Miami as the charismatic DJ and music producer, Alessandro Masotti, famously known as Masenzolo, sat down for an invigorating conversation with Nexus Radio. Accompanied by his brother Andy, Masenzolo, originating from the picturesque town of Vercelli, Italy, shared his musical journey and ambitions with interviewer Xio.
Despite his youthful 24 years, Masenzolo has crafted a notable trajectory in the electronic music scene, deeply inspired by his musician grandfather. “Love the people you have around. They’re not gonna stay with you forever,” Masenzolo professed, illuminating the human connections that fuel his creative spirit. This ethos of cherished relationships, alongside a relentless drive, has propelled him into the limelight, spinning beats in renowned venues from the enchanting shores of Alassio to the bustling heart of Milan.
The duo’s attendance at Miami’s grand celebration of sound was far from a simple party attendance. It was a crossroads for their latest venture—a series of ambitious releases aimed at saturating the musical landscape with Masenzolo’s energetic vibe. “I’m about to have a program of releases of the music. I wanna publish a song every week,” he eagerly revealed, detailing his plan for a musical odyssey that aims to keep audiences perpetually engaged.
Throughout the interview, Masenzolo’s humble beginnings and relentless work ethic shone brightly. From mastering the piano at his grandfather’s knee to executing top-tier events with “Evolve,” his journey wasn’t just about personal growth. It was about building a legacy, a testament to resilience, creativity, and familial bonds. “When Covid started…we decided to mix it. Also, we are brothers, so yeah, we collaborate in life for all life,” he shared, illustrating the symbiotic synergy that powers his and Andy’s partnership.
The conversation also breezed through lighter moments, where laughter and spontaneity underscored Masenzolo’s vibrant personality. When asked which animal would be the rudest if it could speak, he chuckled and replied, “Llamas… they spit on your face like for no reason,” showcasing his easygoing nature amidst musings on celebrity travels, choosing between the likes of “Justin Bieber or Martin Garrix,” and reflections on life lessons.
Masenzolo’s creative process was equally as fascinating as his history. Rooted in improvisation, he described starting with a beat, building upon it spontaneously, and often completing a track within hours. This spontaneity was vital, not just for his art but also for connecting deeply with listeners, inviting them into the narrative crafted within his rhythms and melodies.
As the interview wound down, the brothers took a moment to encapsulate their life philosophy: “Have fun, don’t worry about life…make music and never stop. Follow your dream.” It’s an invitation to their audience to venture beyond the music, embracing the journey of life as enthusiastically as Masenzolo embraces his.
