Experience the Sound

When did you start DJing?

2004

What track, moment, or influence changed everything for you? / What’s your biggest source of inspiration?  (The one that made you say “this is it.”) 

One of the defining moments of my career was releasing “The Underground” with Steve Angello and Corey James. Steve has always been one of my biggest inspirations, and growing up listening to his music had a huge impact on the way I see electronic music and creativity.

Being able to collaborate with someone I looked up to for so many years was surreal. It wasn’t just about releasing a track — it was the moment I realized that the goals I’d been chasing since I started producing music could actually become reality.

That experience changed my mindset completely. It gave me confidence, motivation, and confirmed that this is exactly what I want to do with my life.

Describe your sound or artistic style in 3 words.

Classic. Reinvented. Powerful.

What’s your go-to outfit for a show? (Details, please.)

My style is very minimal and mostly built around black. I like clean, timeless pieces, but I always add a few details that give the outfit personality, whether that’s a chain, rings, a bracelet or a pair of sunglasses. Nothing too loud, just subtle elements that complete the look.

Do you dress to blend in or stand out? (And why?)

I’d say somewhere in between. I’m not trying to stand out just for the sake of it, but I do like having a style that feels authentic and personal. Fashion is another way to express who I am, so I focus on creating a look that reflects my personality rather than following trends.

What’s one non-negotiable before you hit the stage? (A ritual, a snack, a moment?)

Spending time with my friends and team before going on stage. Having a laugh, enjoying the moment and sharing that energy together helps me relax, stay present and remember why I love doing this in the first place.

One or two artist who are always in your sets or you always come back to for inspiration.

What inspires your style off-stage?(Street, vintage, trends, whatever.)

My off-stage style is inspired by a mix of streetwear, vintage pieces and contemporary fashion. I enjoy taking elements from different worlds and combining them in a way that feels authentic to me. Rather than following one specific trend, I focus on creating a personal style that reflects my personality.

What do you wish more people understood about being a DJ? (Give us the real talk.)

I wish more people understood that being an artist is much more than what happens on stage. People see the shows, the releases and the highlights, but they don’t always see the countless hours spent in the studio, the setbacks, the sacrifices and the consistency required behind the scenes.

Success in electronic music isn’t built overnight. It’s the result of years of hard work, passion and persistence, even when nobody is watching.

If your sound had a color, what would it be?(And why?)

Probably blue. To me, it’s a color that represents depth, emotion and a sense of freedom. In my music, I always try to combine energy and emotion, creating something that can work both in a club and on a big festival stage while still having an emotional side. Blue represents that balance perfectly, even though you’ll almost always find me wearing black when I’m in a club or on a festival stage.

What do you represent? 

I represent passion, evolution and perseverance. I believe in constantly pushing yourself to grow, both as an artist and as a person. My journey has always been about respecting my roots, learning from the past and transforming those influences into something new that reflects who I am today. For me, success comes from consistency, hard work and never losing sight of the vision you’re chasing.
