Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hey, my name is PRAV.
I am a 20 year old Trap & Bass DJ/Producer from Sydney, Australia. I have been DJing and Producing for almost 3 years now and I have been pretty fortunate to have done some pretty amazing things within that short time, such as support some of our countries biggest Electronic Music Act's such as Timmy Trumpet and play some iconic venues in Sydney such as Candy's Apartment and Starfvckers Club. I started off doing house parties for my mates in school so I learnt how to be pretty versatile to try and suit everyone's tastes, I like to think I have carried this style of DJing into my club and event sets by genre hopping as much as I can whilst keeping the vibe of the venue going.
During the week I work on music, search for music, go to the gym, study Psychological Sciences at The University of Wollongong, have a part – time day job in admin etc. Basically I would love to make music my full-time career, making my income mainly through doing live shows as well as through music royalties.

How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
When I first got into DJing, I was a massive Progressive House and Big Room fan. I was producing that style of music too but for some reason I couldn't click with it and I could never come up with anything solid as a result. I have always been a hip hop fan, it was the first kind of proper music I was exposed to as a child and I slowly started getting into trap music from the likes of Yellow Claw, Party Thieves, Diplo & Skrillex. Slowly as Big Room and Progressive House started to die out in Australia, I made the move over to Trap & Bass Music and I haven't looked back since!
What´s new right now?
Well I just came back from 6 weeks overseas in Sri Lanka & India, and now that Christmas and New Years are done I am slowly getting back into the swing of things. I just announced my first ever headline show in Nowra, New South Wales (about a 2.5 hour drive south of Sydney CBD), I just made my debut at Starfvckers Club in Sydney which is arguably one of the most iconic club brands in Sydney, I have almost over a month of back to back shows at venues across New South Wales (some of which I will be headlining), my latest release is about to hit 6,000 plays on Soundcloud, I have lots of originals in the works with the hopes of record label releases in the near future plus a few other things I can't say ?
