Read the Alfiya Glow Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hey there, I’m Alfiya Glow, a classically trained violinist with some of the most wicked production and DJ sets around. Originally from Russia, I immigrated to the USA in 2009 and now located in Philadelphia, PA . I produce mostly EDM genre tracks anything from tropical house to future bass and trap, and almost always play violin in my tracks. I tried to stick to one genre but I just get bored too quickly, so try to keep up with me:) My performance includes a Dj set with a live electric violin element. I’ve shared stage with such artists as W&W, Sebjak, Lisa Lashes, Bassjackers to name a few. I played at several huge shows on the national Hyperglow Tour: “America’s Largest Touring EDM Glow Experience,” as well as two shows at Electric Forest 2017 of Insomniac Events which was a life changing experience. Most recently just finished a tour with another female Dj Tesitorra, we called it “2 Girls 1 Tour,” and hit the cities such as New York, Syracuse, Buffalo, Philadelphia & Chicago. Being an artist is hard and exciting. I enjoy being on the road and share my music with new people, collaborating and creating new sound. Check out my music and let me know what you think. soundcloud.com/alfiyaglow

How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
Oh, let’s talk about change. As I mentioned I’m a classically trained violinist who came to the US to get education and get into a good symphony orchestra. While at school I realized how much I love electronic dance music and decided to take a chance and follow my passion. Best decision of my life, I never looked back. It’s true when they say that everything you want is outside of your comfort zone, live by it and it will change your life.
What´s new right now?
Recently I released a new single called “Broken” which I wrote while struggling with depression for a year. There is a lot of meaning behind it. You can listen to it here: https://soundcloud.com/alfiyaglow/broken-original-mix-1 . I also will be dropping a music video on the track in February YouTube.com/AlfiyaGlow . On March 16th I’ll be in Austin, TX playing at SXSW showcase for the first time, so very excited about that. My team and I are planning a spring/summer tour as well.
