Hello there everyone, its Djerry101 here!
Im honored by the chance of making this interview, many thanks for that!
Im 33 year old producer, or beatmaker from finland. I started playing piano somewhere at the age of 5, but i never ever considered myself as "pianist" or whatsoever. When grewing up i got more and more interested of electronic music, and of course the electronic and dance music evolved same time at 80´ and 90´.
My interest of machine made music always followed me trough my early years, and finally, when softwares came available, it was obvious that i started making sounds of my own.
Nowadays i mainly concentrate on EDM or dance music of some kind. Sometimes making Grime/Hiphop/Rap beats also just for the fun of it. I started this hobby in somewhere around year 2000, but these last two years i really activated, and pour my heart in it.
And im NOT that grumpy, that i look alike in the photos! XD I am very easy going and laugh alot ?
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I always enjoyed music in any form, with no genre restrictions, and i think im becoming more understanding, when getting older.
The Scooter, and the Prodigy was always my biggest influencers, altough you cant hear it from my trax. Also BrooklynBounce and 666 were always playing in the stereos.
Taste of music is one thing, that evolves trough time, but i think the certain elements, that will last forever.
What´s new right now?
There is no incoming gigs, since im still home producing ..
Im always jamming in my home studio, and makin beatz, so its only a matter of time, when new release hits the soundcloud!
There maybe some single release coming under record label also, if things go well! ?
Heres some latest projects:
