Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I am an electronic musician. I am always making new tunes of different styles. Lately I have been working on experimental dub/bass projects such as my lates release Ubuntu:

However, I also have fun working on chill tunes such as "The Anima" from my latest EP (released in 2017):

I am always working on projects that are fun to make and listen to, with constant focus on learning new techniques. I have been a musician for my entire life, learning music theory through guitar through my childhood and then transferring that knowledge into electronic composition in my early teens. Currently I am looking towards becoming a film composer as I have a love for film and.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
My initial influence in the electronic music world was heavy dubstep. The main reason I got into electronic music was because of dubstep. As time progressed trap also began to enter my focus. One of my tracks, "Snapback" from my latest EP (released in 2017) is a perfect example of my goals in trap:

Now I'm heavily influenced by further experimentation of the elements of bass music as can be expressed in this playlist of my latest work:
What´s new right now?

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?
Cameron Argon (Big Chocolate). I became a fan because I found him very early on when i first started making EDM. I found him on YouTube and got very involved in his vlogs. He really inspired me to continue pursuing electronic music. I have seen him live and met him twice. His tunes are always testing the boundaries of electronic music.
