How would you describe your music to someone who’s never heard it?
My music blends emotion with rhythm — mostly in the realms of progressive house, melodic techno, and more recently, Afro house. It’s atmospheric and layered, often hypnotic. I’m always aiming to create something that moves you both physically and emotionally — something you can lose yourself in.
How has your sound evolved since you first started making music?
In the beginning, I was more focused on structure and production technique. Now, I’m more instinctive — chasing texture, feeling, and groove. Lately, I’ve been exploring Afro house, which has opened up a whole new palette of rhythms and cultural influences. It’s helped me reconnect with music on a more organic level.
What’s a bizarre or unexpected inspiration behind one of your songs?
“Another Dimension” was inspired by a dream where I was in a futuristic city — familiar but alien — full of endless corridors and glowing lights. I woke up and immediately started building the sound around that vision. I wanted it to feel like stepping into a parallel reality.
What’s the most memorable moment of your music career so far?
Hearing one of my tracks played unexpectedly by a well-known DJ in a packed venue. I was just in the crowd, watching people respond to something I made — without them knowing it was mine. That moment of pure connection, without ego or introduction, was unforgettable.
