Read the exxotik Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hell friends my name is Colyn and I go by the stage name Exxotik. I am a 16 year old DJ and producer from Denver Colorado. I produce future bass and trap. Music is my happiness and I hope that when you listen to my music, it puts a smile on your face.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
My influences coming up were Avicii, Martin Garrix, and Skrillex. I heard the song Wake Me Up by Avicii and i feel in love with the EDM genera and the vibes from it. My taste shifted from big room and house to more future bass and trap, which i produce.
What´s new right now?
I just released a remix for Futures track Mask Off. It's a hybrid trap banger with the trap house feel. I am working on an EP right now, and will hopefully be done very soon.
