What first drew you into music?

Back in elementary school, we had first learned how to play the recorder and ever since then ive been interested in making music

Listening to your music we can tell you love incorporating interesting new sounds and techniques within each track! What inspires you to experiment and evolve?

Life in general. I get inspired usually when something makes me feel something, like a new sound i’ve never heard, or when my son tries to talk to me 

It seems like you already found your signature sound 😊 Do you have any tips for upcoming musicians that can’t seem to find their own sound?

Never stop experimenting! Keep trying different things and you’ll eventually come across your own unique sound 

Your  “Creepin’ EP Promo Mix” is your best work in our opinion! From its artwork to the Incredibly powerful sound we absolutely love it. Could you tell us more about the story behind this mix? Also, what is your creative process like?

Yes, so this promo mix is a promotional mix for my EP titled “Creepin’” which is available on all platforms! All of the tracks on that mix i had spent countless amount of hours trying to get every detail right! The whole concept idea came from the moment I discovered my sound and I immediately decided to make an EP out of the tracks that had best fit the sound i am trying to get across to the listenerswhich is that deep, watery, heavy sound. As far as my creative process, like i  stated in question number two, whenever i get a certain feeling going i try to pour it out through creating more music.

What are your musical goals for the future?

Just to be able to live comfortably through my music

What do you have planned for the coming months? Any upcoming projects we can get excited about?

Other than my Creepin’ EP, which is out on all platforms, I don’t have any more music planned to be released the rest of this year, but for 2020, I plan to release multiple collabs I have in the vault with secret artists I won’t name yet, and hopefully begin a monthly deep/minimal dub series where i would feature upcoming artists in the deep/minimal dub scene, but that’s just a plan 🙂
