Read the ShinyWulfWulf Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I am ShinyWulfWulf and I'm a wolf furry DJ. I make mainly dubstep and edm. I also do let's plays of video games and make anime! I have been making music almost my whole life and I grew up listening to daft punk.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
My influences are based around my love for electronic, dance, and dubstep music and my love for drawing, wolves, and video games. My influences never really changed oddly enough. I grew up around daft punk and I loved their robotic voices. Something about them and the music just grabbed my attention and I wanted to be just like them. Later I found Martin Garrix and Skrillex! Loving them to death! Thus, I do my best to combine all of my musical likes in my own tracks.
What´s new right now?
I am getting close to making a mini series on my second channel on SoundCloud that is aimed towards letting my fans and followers learn more about me and what the story behind ShinyWulfWulf is. I always tell anyone that wants to go into djing that it is extremely fun but really tiring. If they plan on doing it they best be prepared to spend many days slamming their heads against their walls and desks trying very hard to make something good, but my advice is that if YOU think you made a good track, upload it and see what happens.

Are you a superfan of anyone? How did you become a superfan? Do you remember how you become a fan and what turned you into super fan? Have you ever thought about why you´re such a fan?
I'm a super fan of daft punk because I love the style of music and I also am a super fan of marshmello because he is super dope and makes epic music.

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?
The biggest mistake I've made as a musician was uploading with poor sound quality. I was using a good producing app, but uploading didn't sound good at all

Do you have good promotion tips for other musicians?
Share your music with your friends. Play your music as you go to class in the school halls (that's what I do normally!) or do little live sets just on a street corner or something. It's fun and you get to know people on a whole new level!

Do you have insights on how to grow your audience on soundcloud that you want to share with our audience?
If you want to start making music and getting big. Understand that it takes time to get noticed. I was only following other people when I first got on SoundCloud. Now I'm the one that people follow which is super cool and fun!

What has been your biggest challenge right now? Have you been able to overcome that challenge? If so, how?
My biggest challenge right now is gaining followers. I've overcome it slightly by posting different genres of music on my channel.

How do you personally discover new music?
I search up my fave edm and dubstep music people and check my followers. Most of my time is spent listening to other people's music for sounds to use and edit or recreate.

What is your number one tip to improve your music production or songwriting skills?
Take every day objects and just make fun sounds and beats! Plants are very good for background sounds and making fade in sounds for your tracks!

What is your best tip for those who struggle with finishing their tracks?
Go with what you have. It may not be done, but upload it as a preview and see if people want more. Also look at your other music and use things from those.
