Read the Salim Sahao Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hi, my name is Salim Sahão, also known as Salim Sahao. I'm a 17 years old DJ and producer from Brasil. I started playing out with music when i was younger, like 8 years, but i just used to play the guitar or drums. With 12, i met electronic music, which i fell in love with, then i started making some beats on Fruity Loops Studio at home, but nothing profssional. I released my first song at 08/28/2015, but today it is not available in any streaming platforms. I don't like it, but with the song i could see how much I improved as a producer.
Nowadays i have some good ideas on air, like my last remix from Sweater Weather which is on Soundcloud and Youtube. https://soundcloud.com/salimsahao/sweater
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
When i started my edm period (2014) i used to listen to Progressive House tracks from Martin Garrix , Ryos, Florian Picasso, KSHMR and many others. But with the release of Bouncybob from Martin Garrix, Mesto and Justin Mylo, I changed my mind and dove into Future House and Future Bounce listening to tracks from Brooks, Lucas & Steve, Mesto, Mike Wiliams and JAY ESKAR, who is mmy best influence today.
What´s new right now?
I have some upcoming releases solos and with friends from Brasil and other countries, like Silvec and Tokyo Project, that i am reallyexcited to anounce that will be out on 02/18!
In March there will be a solo one, which i am really excited to release too!
And i have some unfinished projects by now that i am going to work on!

What was the biggest mistake you made when you started making music and what would be the number one tip you could give to a newcomer musician?
Mixing was my biggest mistake. I suggest who is starting to study mixing and mastering, because they are essential to a good sounding.
