Read the M!ND BREAKS Interview below and share it on social media.

Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?

My name is Sebastian Rodrigo Alvarez Torres. I was born on January 19, 2002 in the city of Santiago, Chile. There's not much to tell about me, a 16-year-old boy. At the age of 11 I began to show so much interest in electronic music that I set out to create my own songs. I am currently studying secondary education, studying business administration, with the dream of continuing studying at a university and graduating as a musician and composer. Today, I work with my music under the pseudonym "M! ND BREAKS", producing tracks from Future Bass, Dubstep and, sometimes, Trap.

How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?

As a child I started influenced by Electro Industrial and Techno. While I was growing up I knew more styles like House, Dubstep and especially Melodic Dubstep

Currently, I have had a lot of influence from different producers of today (like Getter, Illenium, Ryan Exley, Alexander S, Jacob Tillberg or Zomboy), giving me ideas of different ways of how to make my music. From something stronger, to something more melodic (Like the Future Bass, style that makes a big difference when it comes to producing my tracks), also styles like Rap and Rock have always called me too much attention. The type of acoustic music has always given me something in what is my music, and what I am, and this can be noticed in some other track of mine.

Something for which I have been influenced lately has been the style called "Lo-fi Hiphop" that has opened me to a new possibility of musical production, to experience even more.

What´s new right now?

This is one of the songs that I'm really proud to have done:

It is a sample of the work that I put to the every song. I have many plans and projects to show the world. Many tracks to perfect and customize, thinking about releasing some song under the label of "Primmitive Records" (PrimmitiveRecMx). A small seal that supports me some time ago.

For now I do not think too much about anything else. Maybe make rap tracks or acoustic songs, but I'll see that in the future
