Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?

I'm an electronic music producer, songwriter and musician from Rome, Italy. I mostly produce Progressive and Future House with a sprinkling of Funky vibes, but I don't like to stick to genre rules: I like to push genres' boundaries and do something different every time I produce a song.

How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?

I started loving music very young because of my dad's collection. He made me listen to Genesis, Queen, Pink Floyd, U2 and, believe it or not, Eminem. At 10 I started playing classical guitar, switching to electric at around 13: I fell in love with Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, bands like AC/DC, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Scorpions became my daily bread. I started writing very simple songs at around 14, following what I liked the most in that period. I'd describe my first songs as a weird Frankenstein made of half of the Foo Fighters and half of the U2. I also discovered Electronic Music in that period, mostly because of Daft Punk, Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Paul Oakenfold etc. but I really got into the electronic world at around 17, all because of Avicii, Axwell and Eric Prydz. I started producing my first tracks a year later, with a friend of mine we founded "Soundcrafters". We were inspired mostly by Skrillex, Kill The Noise and Tantrum Desire in that period. Later on, in 2015 I started my solo project "Sheridian", and I was making experiments with Tropical Sounds in that period. I guess my biggest influence at that time was Kygo. I worked on my sound following what I liked, and here we are. At the moment Funk music is one of my biggest influences, in particular all of Nile Rodgers' work. I'm trying to put something of that great 70's and 80's funk vibes in my upcoming tracks.

What´s new right now?

In April, when my song "Time" was being released, I was working on this very interesting idea that has now become my new track which will be released in December. It's something that has got Melody, Groove and a great singer in it. You can't miss it.
