Please introduce yourself real quick… What is it you do exactly? What´s your URL?
Hi ! My name is Wilhelm and i live in Turin, Italy.
Music has always been my passion since i was a child.
I started listening to the radio for hours and hours (driving my parents and neighbors crazy).
When i grew up, i decided to deepen my experience by starting to compose my first tracks and playing as a DJ.
I studied flute and violin at middle school and piano in a very amateur way.
I attended the private school Federico Fellini where i obtained the diploma of Audiovisual Communication Operator and i also did a master's degree in PHP programming and one as a Sound Technician & Registration – Informatics Musical.
I also did an internship at Bliss Corporation where i could meet artists like Dari, Jeffrey Jey from Eiffel 65 and many others.
My dream has been to work in the music world and i hope i can make it happen.
What kind of stuff do you cover mostly? And how do you typically discover and decide WHAT to cover?
June 13 2016, i decided to create a YouTube channel called "The Sound Unique" to share the music that i liked and that deserved (in my opinion) to be known.
https://www.youtube.com/c/thesoundunique
Mostly EDM & Trap music, but sometimes also Future Bass, Jersey Club, Kuduro, Hybrid, House, Bounce, Melbourne, Progressive and Electro.
I will explain a little what it consists of, without going into too much detail because i realize it could be boring to read.
My work takes place more or less like this :
Every day, i check the news and the latest songs that came out or if someone contacted me via email to get promoted.
If i find something that amazes me and i particularly like it, i starting to contact both the artist/s and the Label to request authorizations to be able to upload their song to my channel.
If everyone agrees, I start processing the video which will be published a couple of days later.
Many people use different social networks, not just YouTube.
To meet these people, i also publish the video on other platforms such as :
http://thesoundunique.tumblr.com
https://www.facebook.com/TheSoundUnique
https://twitter.com/thesoundunique
https://plus.google.com/u/0/+TheSoundUnique
If someone wanted to be always updated, maybe SoundCloud is the best choice because i repost at least 2 or 3 tracks almost every day :
https://soundcloud.com/thesoundunique
At the beginning it was very difficult because i wasn't very familiar with this new environment and there were many problems :
both in terms of timing and misunderstanding or even simple errors due to inexperience.
This work has taught me a lot and is continuing to teach me.
It gives me the opportunity to meet many people and even if it may not seem like it, it's never repetitive.
I met many Labels and Artists, some that i contacted recently are :
EDMHouseNetwork, TastyTunes, Bm Records, Dylan Smith, AVUKO, TOSAK, Radon Records, Aegis, Gian Demilio, Silence, CASPY, Vellz, BARTA, Buck Foi and many others that are present on my channel.
I apologize to all the artists i have not mentioned but you are so many, i hope you can understand.
I recently released my song to make Christmas wishes to all my followers, friends and people who support me.
I would like to emphasize that i am not a producer, even if sometimes i like to make some "homemade track" to express the melodies or simply experiment what i have in mind.
I am currently very busy and i don't think i will publish other tracks but… who knows ?

At the moment, i don't have any real new projects to propose but i'm sure that the June 13, 2018, i will do a 24-hour streaming to celebrate the channel's birth with all the music that has been uploaded.
Perhaps in the future i will make a new playlist that contains only free music and without copyright.
Can you give our audience some tips on how to get on your radar ?
Every day i'm looking for new talent, so do not be shy.
If you want to contact me, even just to get more infos, my email is :
thesoundunique@gmail.com
There are no age or nationality restrictions.
I only ask you to keep in mind that my channel is mostly about EDM and Trap Music, so i will not publish other genres.
I hope the music on my channel will please you,
Wilhelm.

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?
If i had to choose someone, i would say Gigi D'Agostino but it would not be complete as an answer.
I'm a superfan of all Italo Dance music and it's thanks to this that my passion was born.
