Q – Tell us about the first track that put you on the map in the electronic scene and the journey since. How did you get started?
I started with underground raves. I remember attending one when I was like 16. I said to myself “wow this music is amazing I wanna make something like that in the future.” Either way I knew that I wanna do something music related because I attended to music school for 9 years playing piano it end up being a music producer and a DJ.
