Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
My name is Cruz Castillon and I was born and raised on the island of Maui in Hawai'i. I am a music producer for my own artists label, CRVZ. I make anything from chill beats to exotic future sounds.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years? Do you feel that changing tastes over years as artistic growth? ?
It all began when I was just a child. I picked up my first instrument (The 'Ukulele), and played till I no longer could. While the years past, I began to create my own taste in music. I started recording and writing my own songs. Creating unique patterns and sounds like never before quickly became my hobby. When I got to highschool, the sky became the limit for me. I did internships at music studios and radio stations, hoping to turn my life long latent into a career. Now I am graduated and more ready than ever to take it to the next level.
What´s new right now?
I recently released a few tracks on my SoundCloud that includes my final Music Technology track. I DJ part time from weddings to even small house party's. The last gig that I did was a Major Lazer DJ competition, going up against all of the top DJ's on Maui. At the age of 18, I won First Place and obtained the title of "Best DJ on Maui".
