A: There are several artists I'd like to work with but lately I've been listening to bands like She Past Away and Rendez-Vous and I'm loving it, I'd love to record some 80s inspired post-punk/goth music because I never had the chance to play that kind of music. Another artist would be Knower just for the reason that the music is very fun to listen and play.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Patience. It takes time to create something great and enjoyable, there's always going to be moments where you are stuck and you have to be open minded to always try new stuff and rest when your body needs it, nothing good comes with an exhausted mind just to hurry a process.
