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

VinylSnake is a 13 years old dj and producer.
He was born on the 12th of march 2004.
He is coming from tripoli lebanon, and started producing at the age of 5.
He is known for his heavy sounds in trap and dubstep music, and his beautiful sounds in house music.

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

Well vinylsnake started producing at the age of 5.
He had a small laptop and he got a cd in a cereal box. He installed this app and it was a daw (digital audio workstation).
This is what got vinylsnake in production.
We asked vinylsnake about his influences about his music and how it changed in the times.
He told us when he started production. He started making trap beats. He made trap beats for like 4 years. But then he got bored of the same thing going on and on again. So he got in Edm. First of all, he was inspired by david guetta, tiesto, afrojack and martin garrix.
He started to do trance music and bigroom music. His first bigroom song was uploaded on his soundcloud under the name of keygen and it got a little bit viral and got approx 2k plays on soundcloud and got to the (top 50 on spinnin talent pool). But at this moment bigroom was dying and progressive house was growing more and more so he got into progressive house and started making songs like ( his most known release proxy with over 10k plays on soundcloud and his song spotless that got featured on teammbl)
But now vinylsnake is still producing progressive house, but he is getting more into the hardest genres of edm like festival trap and dubstep and a little bit on the chiller side with the future bass genre.
This is what vinylsnake told us about his music and how it changed over the time

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?

Well we asked vinylsnake this question.
He told us he is a superfan of martin garrix.
Because he got him into producing electronic music because of his story and because of the age he started doing music and how he got famous this fast. I remember when i first listened to his song keygen i was in love in it. but when i became a superfan of him its when he collabed with julian jordan on bfam.

Once you discovered new music, do you tell others about the new music/artist you discovered? If yes, how exactly?

“Well for example lets say vinylsnake heard the newest song by varity called Ragnarok.
Not a lot of people know this song but its a song that is lit af so he makes people listen to the track and sometimes people ask me the name of the artist. And he tries to play songs by small producer at a coffee shop opening or add it to his social saying to his followers to go listen to the track

What is your best tip for those who struggle with finishing their tracks?

At the beginning vinylsnake told us that he was frustrated when he wanted to finish his tracks.
So he used to send them to someone like the track is 90% done and then releases it.
But then vinylsnake told us that when he doesn't want help from anyone he would just go lay on his bed until he comes up with an idea, he draws it on a piece of paper then does it on the daw.
