Read the Xanever Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
My name is Xanever and I'm a 14 year old dubstep producer. I like so spend my time sitting in my studio making music. Some of the artists I have worked with include Harshit Singh, MODUS, and Mithran Panchamoorthy.

For more songs like that, be sure to go to my Soundcloud link below. Everyone's support tells me that people like hearing my music and I will produce more.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I was heavily influenced by the first Skrillex song I had heard – Rock N' Roll (Will Take You to the Mountain). My other influences include the multiple Dubstep producers I have listened to over the years – namely, Virtual Riot, Zomboy, Spag Heddy, Borgore, and the multiple artists in the UKF Dubstep playlists.
What´s new right now?
I am currently working on an EP coming out March 30th 2018 called 'Going Down', as well as another EP coming out in May called 'Smoothies' which I will make with help from my friend Harshit Singh. If there are any fellow artists in the electronic music industry, be sure to let me know via social media so we can collaborate on a couple tracks ?

Do you have insights on how to grow your audience on soundcloud that you want to share with our audience?
The best way to expand your Soundcloud audience is to keep producing music and to tell your friends about your channel, and advise them to spread your music around to their friends. I would also recommend using the Spinnin' Records Talent Pool because every listen that your song gets in the Talent Pool counts toward the Soundcloud song as well, allowing for a couple hundred listens in addition to the other listens you get from your friends promoting you.

How do you personally discover new music?
I use a mix of Pandora, Spotify, Youtube, Soundcloud, and Apple Music. I also listen to compilations such as the albums published by UKF Dubstep in order to find new artists to listen to using Pandora or Spotify.
