1.Growing Up
My father plays piano and I grew up with this instrument in my life. At the age of nine, I got my first drum kit. Both elements are essential for my productions nowadays.
2.Inspirations
When I first started listening to electronic music I was influenced by Hernan Cattaneo and John Digweed. A few years later when I got into DJing, my main influence was Gregor Tresher. My inspirations today are more based on my surroundings (family, friends, travels, gigs).
3. Your Crew
I have a great team working with me; my main guys are Murray Gray (my manager) and Leo Corella (my label manager), then we have agents, social media team, a lawyer – that forms a lovely family! As for a DJ crew, I’m very close to Los Suruba, Coyu, Henry Saiz… we collaborate often and they are great guys to also hang out with.
4.The Music You Make
I consider my music special, I’m a musical person, but also I like to keep the dancefloor happy, so I guess it’s a combo of both. I’ll say the main thing is the energy and the feeling that I like to transmit with my productions.
5. Music, Right Here, Right Now
The music scene is in a very strong place, with a lot of crossover appeal within genres, which I take on board when writing. It’s always a pleasure to play in your hometown and I’m lucky enough to host my own event called Fayer in Valencia. I’m constantly inspired within music as a whole and I hope to be collaborating with a whole heap of new talent in 2014.
