How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I started out like most EDM producers probably do, experimenting with house music. After a while I started to get frustrated because house sometimes doesn't allow a lot of room for experimentation and finding new sounds, so I branched off into trap music, taking inspiration from artists like Zomboy and QUIX. I like trap better because in a lot of ways it's more musical, it allows me to play with sounds I wouldn't really be able to in house music.
What´s new right now?
I've been working with a few VERY talented vocal artists on some new trap/pop music that'll be coming out sometime in the next month. The, I guess karaoke version, is actually on my SoundCloud under the title "Easy Bake Oven". That track will be releasing on my first album/EP project, which will actually be a free download. It would be awesome if we could get this project to break like, 5000 downloads when it comes out, so let's make that happen.

How do you personally discover new music?
I use certain websites used by DJ's to share music, like Clubland LV. Basically anyplace people put music up for us performers to find it and then play it at events.

Sit down, turn off your devices, and ignore the world for whatever time you have to make stuff. You'll be suprised how much more you'll get done without distractions.
