Read the MY95 Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I am a French producer aged 22. I was first interested in mixing tracks and then a few years later I focused myself on producing. Now I am practicing both, with a little bit more work on the production side. I love this as I always discover new techniques, new informations that help me to perfect my work, in any genre. At this subject, I am producing mainly techno, but I stay open to any other genre; In fact, since I've produced my first track, I went through a lot of styles before putting my hand on techno music. (As large as Hardstyle, EDM, House, Deep, Chill, Trap, …)
Nowadays, my interest principally goes to the underground scene, but I always keep an eye on the rest of the "business".
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
So as I said before, my influences are multiple and I am open to any genre. I can't tell that "this style particularly is influencing me", as I am not focused on something precise. One day I can listen to an opera track and will tell myself "this violin is crazy, let's use it in my latest project !", and the following day have a listen to a reggae track and think the same thing.
For me, the most important is to never neglect any genre, even if this is not something you love : You can always find the inspiration on things you don't specially like but which can bring you some ideas.
What´s new right now?
It's been a few months since I've released my latest track. During this period, I was very busy working at the studio and can now take a little break before launching the releases of the several tracks I finished.
During the following weeks, I will bring some techno tracks to my Soundcloud followers, and an album is also on working so the next months will be really full of music for me !

What is your number one tip to improve your music production or songwriting skills?
Constantly learning, for example by watching tutorials.
I can't afford a sound engineering school, so I have to do my best myself to learn techniques and reach a certain level.

What is your best tip for those who struggle with finishing their tracks?
If you stuck on a track and don't find a way to finish it, do as I do : don't finish it haha !
I often have several projects on the making, and sometimes I don't find anything to add on one of my track, or how to end it properly. At the beginning of my "career", I would stuck behind my computer for hours and hours without finding a solution. Now it's different; I don't lose my time, if a track doesn't inspire me anymore, I forget it and go on a new one asap.
