Q: What's your typical work process?

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: Probably MDNT BLVD. We wrote and produced the entire album in just under 2 months earlier in our careers and it came out awesome. I learned so much about collaborating and myself as an artist/writer/singer/producer. It required so much of me at that time and I was really fortunate to have that experience. I did the vocals and wrote the lyrics.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: Well since there likely isn't any electric unless its Diplo's Island... I would take a water purifier, solar powered camping lamp, and a machete. Dont need 5, just need 3.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: I would describe my style as very original and extremely identifiable. I have such a wide range of texture, I can speak different languages English being my first, I can do several accents, and when you take all of that and mix genres and genre styles you can get some really cool music. I use the same technique in producing as well, combining vocal genres with musical genres.

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

A: Empire of the Sun, specifically Luke Steele. Their production and the uniqueness of his voice resonate with me. I feel we have the same ranges vocally and I consider myself an Electronic/EDM producer. I feel I could learn a lot from them since I identify with their style so much.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Simplicity is key. Listen and really study your top 3 favorite songs. Listen to the hook/drop. Typically, you'll find about 5-7 elements playing tops. Between kick, drums, vocals, percussion, Fx, it can get pretty out of hand if you're not careful. Do your best to keep your arrangement simple which, in turn, will make it easier for you to mix and finalize.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: My voice is unique, its very original, I can do different accents, Ive written songs in different languages, and I've never had writers block during production. My production is really versatile and I feel confident in a majority of the work that I do.

A: Some artists that inspire me are 3Lau, Martin Garrix, Porter Robinson, Dillon Francis, Calvin Harris, Lil Jon, and Empire of the Sun.
