1. Who Influenced You?
-I try to base my style after BT, Paul Van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, and some 80’s euro-synth artists Depeche Mode, New Order, and INXS.
2. What do you like most about producing/Djing music?
-Two things: seeing a mass of people bounce to something I’ve made, OR seeing a mass of people bounce to something I’ve made while somebody else plays it.
3. Where do you think producing and electronica music will be in the Future?
-The future is already here. It’s impossible to turn on the tv without hearing EDM on some commercial or show preview. As time progresses, I can only hope that EDM gains respect in the mainstream like it does overseas.

-Peter Gabriel, Michael Hutchence, Freddie Mercury, Ferry Corsten, Paul Van Dyk, Michael Jackson, Prince, and Madonna.

10. What moves you as an artist?
-Making the people move.
11. If you could change one thing about the WORLD what would it be?
-To have people use their minds to form their OWN opinion(s), rather than have people tell them what and how to think.
12. If someone is interested in starting to produce their own music what piece of advice would you offer?
-Like Nike says: “Just do it.” Follow your heart, your rhythm, and let it flow. Don’t limit yourself and just start writing and producing. Oh, and have fun with it, of course.
