Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
My name is OHMYBOY and I'm an electronic music artist on overload! As a DJ and producer I give my best to combine straight house and techno with pinches of urban music flavours, serving you a fresh new sound which will wake up the animal inside you! An old lady once told me that I am an enthusiastic, powerful and funny performer, always with a big smile on his face.
If you think I'm a weirdo, you're right! But to not be arrogant I literaly gave birth to my incredibly awkward arrogant blue puppet clone that always joins my show while fulfilling any DJ cliché in a totally weird way. Check out my Instagram profile to have a look at what I'm talking about.
In the past I was very glad to produce and work with artist like Gabriel Ananda, Pleasurekraft, Robyn, Mando Diao, Umek, Kris Menace, Pizzaman (Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim), ATB, Tube & Berger, AKA AKA, Laserkraft 3D, Marusha and many more! Some work was nominated or even awaed winning and some work just sucked. But, oh boy, it's allways a huge fun and that's why I'm so addicted to music, techno and all that stuff!
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
OHMYBOY is a very young project still in progress. I'm not sure if my style changed a lot but every time I'm working on a track I have different influences. From pop to electro, from score to hiphop you can find inspiration in any kind of music. The beat, the sound, the chords, the feeling, the structure. Every time I hear a song no matter what kind of genre I learn something new and I want to try it immediatly!
What´s new right now?
I just released "OHMYBOY – The Animal Inside" with an incredible remix by techno legend Gabriel Ananda! As the title provides it's all about the animal inside you breaking free. And oh what a feeling when the inner beast is finally free and there are no limits anymore!
I will release "Black Birds (feat Phable)" on D.B.Stereo London in the first quarter of 2018 and have minimum two more tracks signed for the first half of the new year!
As an audio visual artist and director I'm also thinking about producing a outstandingly funny music video with my little arrogant blue puppet kon of friend. He's the cliché of a DJ asshole and the world has to hate this little wired bastard!
