Where are you currently based?
I am currently based in London, United Kingdom.
How did you first first start playing music?
I started spinning since I was 16 years old, from bday parties to house parties and then in clubs.
What’s been happening recently and how has your Covid experience been?
I kinda see the lockdown as a personal isolation and time to invest in myself, even thou to have to opportunity to keep learning and experiment more with my sound.
Though times for everyone but we are all in this together, so we gotta stay positive. We already wasted so much time on negative things.
Please tell us about your thoughts of the importance of artist mental health awareness:
I am glad this year the theme of mental illness got back up again.
From an artist’s point of view is kinda extreme in a sense of appreciation. We have to deal on a daily basis with rewards, rejections, opportunities, nights without sleep, expand our network and abandon the old paradigm we have been living through now.
As an artist, how has Covid impacted your mental health?
Honestly it is the best/worst time of my life. Like mentioned in the previous question but again it is part of the journey to shine as a musician. At the end of the day no one can kill creative souls who have been hidden in the abyss of modern society.
You have a series on YouTube called ‘Donut Dating’ what is the concept and how did this series come about?
Well, I love donuts and I love beautiful creature such as women.
That serie is about self improvement I have been and I am still experiencing. My goal is at least to help/inspire someone out there who is in the same situation.
How has Donut Dating been going so far?
The real success of Donut Dating is to be happy by yourself in the first place in order to make your partner/partners happy. It is a value you add to your life.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
I am currently listening to 80s music, some goth such as The Cure, The Mission, Fields of the Nephilim.
I swing from the classics Liszt/Beethoven to Motley Crue and Cradle of Filth.
What programs/equipment do you like to work with when playing live and recording:
I use FL Studio for production and I perform with cdjs 2000 (classic club setup)
What do you like to do away from music?
I eat donuts (obviously haha), I started skateboarding since I was 10 years old, I brainstorm a lot to find new ideas to finalise my creative process and I read at least 2 books a week.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2020 going into 2021?
My team and I are working hard to make 2021 such a fire year. We are amplifying what was left from 2020.
American tour for sure, we finalising the Asian one, getting few contacts with Australia and New Zealand. We are literally about to conquer the globe.
Shoutout to my lovely team: Gabriele, Arianna, Krystle and Kayla, Julian, Boogie (Hillyhd), Dennis and Naushad.
