Please introduce yourself real quick. Tell our audience about your background and how you go into doing what you´re doing right now.
Hello!
I am 18 years old,my parents are from Albania and i was born and raised in Greece,Athens.
I am currently in Heraklion (Crete) and studying Tourism Management.
I started producing in September of 2015,almost 3 years from now and since then my music has changed. A lot.
I started by making progressive,chill,deep and electro house and as time went by i realized i wasn't enjoyed it making that genre no more,so i found out a new genre that just had started becoming famous in the scene,Future Bass.
I made a lot of future bass,emotional and happy. I loved future bass and i still do.
Last year was my last year at school and i had a small break for 3 months because of exams,but when i started making music again i was stuck,lost,I didn't know what i was doing.
As a lot of people who create art i was in an writer's block..
I tried future bass but i wasn't feeling it and by that time a friend of mine introduced me to modern hip hop (Kendrick Lamar,Tyler The Creator etc..) and i was really feeling it,and it kept growing to me everyday.
And since then i try to produce more hip-hopish and trap pieces.
I don't know what the future has in store but i will do everything that i can do to achieve my dream of being a music producer.
Please tell our audience what projects have you been working on in the last years?
Lots of trappy beats as i mentioned earlier.
Here is my latest song with an amazing producer Gows (this isn't the first time i collaborate with him) !

What has been your biggest challenge right now? Have you been able to overcome that challenge? If so, how?
To not care about what other people think of me wanting to follow my dream of being a music producer.
A lot of people have judged me,and not enough people support me but at the end of the day you do it all for yourself.
