Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hey, Im Fryn Rydr but most people call me Flinn. Im a producer hailing from Melbourne Australia messing around with a bunch of sounds that I think are cool. Please chuck us a follow on soundcloud (https://soundcloud.com/frynrydr) for phat kiss on the lips xoxoxoxo
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
First time I recall listening to music was with my dad in the car and we were blasting queen. From their on thats when I had a real passion for music. I started playing the bass at the age of 6 (Because it had 4 strings and I thought itd be easier than guitar). Fast forward to 2011 and I was chillin with my cousin and he was being an unsociable prick by listening to his iPod. So I ask him "AYE YO MANE WHAT YOU LISTENING TO?" so he chucks me an earbud and as fate would have it, It was scary monsters and nice sprites by skrillex. Hearing that just blew my mind. Like Im pretty sure my brain sonically OD'd on the wubz. From their on I tried to learn sound design and make dubstep, how to Dj and etc.
What´s new right now?
Right now, Im trying to focus on making more chilled music that has a neo-soul or R&B influence to it but I'll still be making bangers n stuff. I have a few Future Bass songs planned with some vocalist soonish. As for live stuff, I genuinely have no idea what I'm doing. Like, I haven't even done a gig yet so I'm making it my goal to at least do one set this year.

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?
Skrillex or Porter Robinson. I love Skrillex because of his unique sound design and the pioneering he has idoen in the EDM scene and I love porter for his outside the box approach to electronic music and the emotion that is conveyed in his music

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?
Being way too over confident about my music as a beginner. Like I was putting up straight trash onto spotify and etc. thinking it was fire but honestly, the best thing to develop as a beginner is self awareness
