How did you get your artist name and what is the significance?

My alias is a shortened version of my birth name, a moniker that found its way to me during my early days on the radio doing mixshows. It’s become a part of my identity as an artist, and I’m also working on an alternate alias project for the new year.

Where do you call home?

San Francisco, CA.

How do you describe your musical style? 

My musical style is an energetic blend of house and tech house, driving basslines, and party-oriented tracks with a touch of familiarity that creates an infectious energy on the dance floor. 

What first inspired you to get into music? 

Music has always been an integral part of my life, beginning at a young age when I immersed myself in learning multiple instruments like the piano, violin, and drums. Growing up, I was influenced by the ’80s synth wave era, drawing inspiration from iconic artists like Eurythmics, Queen, Depeche Mode, New Order, and Kool & The Gang. The evolving b-boy culture also played a significant role, gradually introducing me to the world of hip hop.

These early influences taught me invaluable lessons about rhythm, structure, and creativity, fueling my passion and shaping my understanding of music. But the genre transformation came when I attended my first rave. Stepping into that environment and experiencing the connection between the music, crowd, and the DJ.

From that night on, my perspective on music shifted completely. It broadened my vision, fueling my desire to explore different sounds and connect with listeners in that same electric, emotional way. That moment was a turning point that expanded my vision and changed my life forever. (House music enters the chat.)

Is there an artist or person who has inspired you most? 

It’s hard to single out just one artist, as my appreciation for dance music spans many styles, and I aim to stay versatile in my own productions. I’m drawn to producers who create unique, evocative music that resonates on the dance floor and intrigues me on a technical level—regardless of genre.

Recently, I’ve found a lot of inspiration in artists like Fred Again, John Summit, Dom Dolla, OMNOM, Gorgon City, Layton Giordani, and Mau P, to name a few. Each of them brings a fresh, energetic sound to the scene. Their creativity, combined with their ability to innovate while staying true to dance music, inspires my approach to producing.

When it comes to DJs, I’m especially drawn to artists like James Hype and Mochakk. They’re not only musically captivating but visually engaging. James Hype’s technique and creative flair remind me of Chicago legend Bad Boy Bill, a true pioneer of this style in electronic music.

What’s your favorite piece of music production gear or software? 

My favorite piece of gear has to be the centerpiece of my studio: the Prism Titan Audio Interface. Its digital converters produce an incredible, clean sound that has truly been worth every penny. When it comes to software, as a certified Logic Pro Engineer, it has been my primary DAW for every project. However, I also have a passion and love for Ableton Live. Each program brings its own unique flexibility and strengths to the table, and by using both, I can tailor my workflow to fit the specific needs of each project. 

What’s your favorite part of the music production process? 

When an idea starts to take shape, the creative flow kicks in. It’s that moment when everything naturally falls into place and it feels like the track is writing itself. There’s always something exciting about watching an idea grow from a simple concept into a fully realized song, and that rush of creativity is what inspires me.

Any future projects coming we should know about? 

I’m genuinely excited about all the new music I’ve been creating! It spans various genres, from tech house and melodic house to techno and even drum & bass. I’m always looking for new ways to challenge myself creatively, and I’ve got enough material for an entire album. However, I’m still weighing the options: should I release it as a complete project or focus on dropping singles first to keep the release schedule fresh and exciting for the new year? I’ve been riding a creative wave in the studio, and can’t wait to share everything I’ve been cooking up in 2025!
