Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hello my name is Ivan Cabrera Castelo and I have the nickname IVAAX, I am a dj and producer born in Merida Yucatan, Mexico. I produce Dubstep, Riddim and Trap
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
My biggest influence to enter the world of music was Skrillex, where I was most attracted to music with a lot of bass and heavy, and then I met Kill The Noise and 12th Planet. . Well over time and listening to new subgenera of music I started to get a lot of attention the subgenre of dubstep called Riddim, there I met several strong producers of that genre, Virtual Riot, Monxx, Eptic, Must Die, Etc. General Virtual Riot and Eptic motivated me to do Riddim.
What´s new right now?
Now I do not have some tracks of mine but I have entered to remix competitions to know me better. And my goal is to take a step more of this world of music like giving a small local or national concert or making myself known to the public and so I can do all my goals.

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?
I had no structure and my notes did not make them right.
My advice is to experiment and experiment and there where they will realize where they are wrong. But the most recommended to know how to play even if it is a musical instrument.
