Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
My name is Vincent aka Vugzy, I'm 19 and I'm a young french lazy boy from Paris, DJ and beatmaker. I started making music when I was 9 and making beats on my computer 1 year ago. I mostly make beats like house music and hip hop but sometimes I make any type of music that passes me by the head. Sometimes I'm DJ and I play Trap, Hip hop, Grimes & House music.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years? Do you feel that changing tastes over years as artistic growth? ?
When I was a little boy, my parents listened a lot of music like Soul, Hip Hop and Jazz, they've made me a good culture about black music. Some artists like Flying Lotus, Thundercat or Tyler the Creator are inspirations for me. Because they dont only make music, they create universes, emotions that only music can create. To my mind if you want to be creative, you have to be open minded, you have to experiment. That's why I listen any type of music like Detroit's House/Techno ( for exemple Drexciya,DJ Stingray, Omar S), French Touch Music (Daft Punk, Ed Banger Records), Jazz, Lounge, Trap. The more you diversify your musical tastes the more you are creative.
To discover new artists I spend my time on Soundcloud, Bandcamp, Youtube, I talk with other artists or with my friends and sometimes I go to shop some vinyls.
What´s new right now?
Now I'm working on a lot of releases which will come during the winter and a mixtape called "Friendzone Project". And I wish I could make more DJ Set to make people dance and make them smile.
