In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was 7, I was a fan of the funk band Imagination. Their music got me hooked on creating. Years later, I became friends with their leader, and now we’re working on new music together. I couldn’t have imagined it—well, maybe I could!😜
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Hans Zimmer, Interstellar (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [Expanded Edition] Kaskade, Kx5, deadmau5, Kx5 Marvin Gaye, I Want You If I were heading to a desert island, these are the three albums I’d take with me.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Cornfield Chase” Studying at the conservatory, I developed a love for epic, cinematic sounds, and this track blends Hans Zimmer’s emotion with house rhythm. It’s a tribute to his genius, reimagined for a new audience...
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Winning a remix contest for Ariana Grande’s ‘Thank U, Next’ in 2022. This led to warm-up sets for artists I admire; Lost Frequencies, R3HAB, Afrojack, and more, at the Watts Summer Festival in Marseille with 23k attendees. The energy was fire!
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? To perform at even bigger festivals and connect with audiences around the world. I’d love to collaborate with more artists who inspire me and continue pushing the boundaries of my sound.
