Read the Blyzo Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I'm Logan, I'm 13 and I've been producing music for over a year under the name Blyzo. I've released two singles and an EP, and plan on releasing an album soon. I also collaborated with a good friend of mine called Sonohara on a track called Hallucinations, and I also plan on collaborating with other artists soon.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
One of my biggest influences has got to be Porter Robinson. He's one of the most original artists in the EDM scene right now, reinventing the genre with an emotional flare, showing that not all electronic music has to be mindless headbanging gig material. It has definitely inspired my more recent music, trying to implement an emotional style to them whilst keeping it original. Earlier on, I was more inspired by Madeon, however that has definitely changed over time.
What´s new right now?
I released an EP not too long ago called 'The Void' which has been a success so far, and I have opened up remix submissions for the EP, which you can find on my Twitter page. I am also working on a full album which is still quite early in production and I don't plan to release it for a while. There are a few tracks that are in a 'finished' state on the album however, so make sure to look out for single releases… ?

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?
I'm a MEGA super fan of both Porter Robinson and Madeon. Not only have they both influenced me in music, they've also helped me get through some rough times in my life with their unique music styles. They're also both really awesome people. I became a fan of Madeon when I was bored on Youtube one day and kept clicking through recommended videos. I found his song 'OK' and loved it so much. Not too long after, him and Porter Robinson released their collaboration 'Shelter' and it introduced me to Porter and his own world of amazing music. And just like that, I was hooked.

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?
Jumping right in. I didn't take the time to learn anything like music theory, I just dove right into FL Studio and my initial attempts at music were absolutely awful. So my number one tip; don't jump straight in.

What has been your biggest challenge right now? Have you been able to overcome that challenge? If so, how?
Becoming more productive. I have so many unfinished tracks just sitting there on my hard drive that I am trying my hardest to finish. I've sort of overcome this as I've managed to finish off a few of these tracks.
