How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I listened to a wide variety of genres growing up. Everything from the Beatles to Yanni to Bobby Darin to the Chemical Brothers. Daft Punk is a HUGE inspiration to me. Music began as a hobby, I started out playing the trumpet in elemtentary school, and played lots of Jazz and Blues during that time. In 8th grade, I was lead vocals for a local Death Metal/Screamo band, and ended up almost losing my voice due to vocal nodes. Around that time, I discovered Deadmau5, and Skrillex, and was totally inspired to begin producing electronic music. When Daft Punk released their album "Random Access Memories," I found a deep passion for Nu Disco. I ghost produced for years until I decided to explore and develop my own sound.
What´s new right now?
I have an EP in the works, due to release around December 2018. Please follow me on Twitter, Soundcloud and Facebook to chat and stay updated on upcoming projects.
