Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I’m a Spain-born, raised in Moldova young producer with a boundless addition for music and production.
How would you describe your style and genre?
At this point, I can’t say that I have my own style and I think each producer has the same problem. I have yet to discover and rediscover my perfect sound so I’m ready to explore and experiment with it until I can say “This is it. This is my perfect musical expression”. Mainly I’m into trap music and all of its sub-genres which gradually appeared. I grew up listening to mostly hip-hop, heavy metal and rock, so you could say I feel my music is also aggressive. I liked the aggressive sounds from heavy metal and hip-hop drums and wanted to combine them so I started to experiment on my own. This way I started to produce and it just took me over completely and try to make each production as an expression of my emotions at that moment.
Who are your biggest influences and idols … and why? Do you have any idols? Are you a super fan of anyone? (Dead or alive, musician or non-musician)
I’m not very much into the idol idea, but the person I find most inspiring to me is Kai Wachi. I discovered him scrolling and listening to tracks on soundcloud and he ready made a powerful impression. I found myself in his works, I liked his sound engineering and unmistakable style.
What´s new right now? What should our readers know about that is coming up from you?
I’m workin on my first EP with talented artists. Some live gigs in Europe and a lot of stuff. Stay tuned dears.

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?
I remember how I was creatin’ my first song, hah, lol : a lot of mistakes and it had one too many tonalities and it was a total mess. Beside the discord, for a couple of months while I was learning the hanging of it I also didn’t select the main keys in the track correctly. My advice for newcomer-producers: work a lot on your own projects until you will be so in love of your own creation that you can proudly say it represents you.

How do you get gigs? Can you share any tips?
At this point, I have yet to have gigs I can call my own. I think it’s important to understand that as a beginner, I must tend to make my own events, but I think you must be realistic. This is the stage where I do lots of promo gigs and promo push. I thank the crowds who call me and want to support me and the booking & management agent who believe in me. The people – they are what makes the world spin in music.
From beginning , I can’t to say that are gigs with a lot of requests. But a lot of work on promo push, united fam of a lot of artists.

What has been your biggest challenge right now? Have you been able to overcome that challenge? If so, how?
My biggest challenge at the moment, is to appear on big stages like UMF or RARE and other huge stages with my music. If I can spin my tracks and be recognized by the public and DJ-colleagues, I will know this is the right way. At this moment I have enough challenges: combining my university life with my music and promo activities & production time; getting support from colleagues such as RL Grime, 4B, Aazar, Garmiani, SAYMYNAME, BAILO, Riot Ten, Carnage, perfecting my tracks and working on my remixes; working on releases and promo for my label Bass Cords.

How do you promote yourself? Do you have any specific promotion tips for other musicians?
My music is my own main promotion engine. I don’t pay to get plays or to reach a lot of likes/comments. I think the organic growth is the most efficient way to get across to my fan base and present myself and my music. My tips would be, at first, to overcome the mind barriers and have the courage to try and contact producers, singers and so on. Share your music when you think it’s good and you’re happy with the result. Even if you get cut down often, there are people who will support you and you will know you’re doing the right thing. Contact communities, groups and reach out – I did and I got lots of great support. I contacted producers I respected I hoped they would reply, and the did reply and where very open to offer support.
