---

His love and passion for the arts started at a young age and this passion for music expanded into a professional music career; where he released multiple Jazz and Electronic music albums in the United States. He also received design awards for Best Typography of the Year.

What was the turning point in your music career that impacted you the most and why?

I always wanted to do music since my childhood. I was in rock band when I was a teenager. But when I realized that I can do everything on a computer that was a turning point for me. Apps were limited at that time but still was a total freedom. I immediately released my first ep. I can’t even remember it’s name but it was blast for me.

What emotions do you feel the most when making an album and how do these emotions inspire you?

Music production is fun most of all. It is like breathing. It is a need. Emotions are variable and most I don’t remember. When you fall in love you do music, when you are sad you do music, all emotions leads you somewhere and at the end that is your soul in it.

Which international festival where you performed was the most unforgettable and why?

 It was the Space Club Ibiza America tour. Because we had an amazing crew and I had the most fun of all. And Also I had a chance to spin progressive house and ambient live set in two different stages. That was totally fun.

What themes did you explore in your previous single works and where did you draw your inspiration from?

  I even visited Native American villages to record live sounds and instruments when I was in States. That was a huge inspiration for me. I used many different themes at my previous works.

During your time living in America, what changes did you notice in your music career?

States definitely changed my music a lot. I was more into straight electronic music before states. I found my self into more acoustic music after States. And also even for electronic music my sound changed. Every country has it’s own sound. You can still hear that in my recent sounds.

What surprises do you have in store for listeners in your upcoming projects?

I have new projects coming soon under Audiolab and also an acoustic album which I am looking forward to release.

What was the most enjoyable moment during your stage performances and why?

It was in Miami. I was spinning techno live. Crowd was so amazing. That was a moment I always remember. Spinning to DJ’s is something different. They react every single note. I was so lucky to perform in Miami Winter Music Conference.

What methods do you frequently use to enhance your musical inspiration?

 I don’t know actually. Every breath I take leads me to a different point. All experiences leads the person to a new person. And that effects  my musical inspiration. I am not sure if it enhance my musical inspiration but it inspires my music at the end.

What projects and collaborations do you have in your future plans?

 I am looking forward to finish my acoustic album and more releases under Audiolab music records. I am looking for a singer who is ready to collaborate me.

What is your message to the listeners and what impact do you hope to leave on them?

I believe everyone lives music on their own way. Music is something gives a different taste on every single individual.  Some may found the sound deep, some may found it dark. That is the beauty of music. And what I always wanted leave a good vibe while they are listening my sounds.
