Q) How would you describe your musical style? 

 

A) My sound has evolved a lot over time. I started out deeply rooted in House and Tech House — that groovy, underground energy really shaped my early productions. But as I kept exploring and growing, I found myself drawn more and more toward high-energy, melodic sounds. These days I’d describe my style as a blend of commercial Trance and Techno, with a focus on creating tracks that hit hard and connect instantly — especially on platforms like TikTok. It’s emotional, it’s punchy, and it’s designed to grab attention in just a few seconds. I like to think of it as music that works both on the dance floor and in the scroll.

 

Q) What inspired you to become a DJ?

 

A) Honestly, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life at the time. Then, I saw Tchami on the Ultra Miami stage and thought, “Yeah, that’s it. That’s exactly what I want to do.” I didn’t know how and the path definitely wasn’t clear, but it lit something in me. I’d already been messing around with music since I was a kid — producing, playing guitar — so stepping into that world didn’t feel out of reach. It just finally had a purpose.

 

Q) How did growing up in Berlin influence your sound?

 

A) Surprisingly, not as much as people might think. Berlin is obviously a techno capital, and I’ve definitely been exposed to a lot of that scene — it’s hard not to be. But my sound has always leaned more toward the American and British styles, especially the kind of stuff you’d hear in Ibiza or Mallorca. That’s where I really found the energy and vibe that spoke to me. Berlin’s influence is there in the background — mostly in the rawness and drive — but stylistically, I’ve always looked outward.

 

Q) I know you like to experiment with new sounds and ideas. Where do you draw inspiration from? 

 

A) Honestly, from everywhere I can. I pay attention at parties — what tracks actually move people, what melodies get stuck in their heads, what drops make them lose it. Sometimes I’ll just scroll through Spotify and catch a vibe. But most of the time? I open Ableton and mess around. No big plan, just instinct. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t — but that’s the fun of it. Trial, error and the occasional happy accident.

 

Q) What was the process like with your recent drop ‘She’s So High’ with Conor Maynard?

 

A) It started super organically. The original track always had that nostalgic, emotional pull — and when Conor jumped on it, his voice brought a fresh energy that just fit perfectly. We wanted to flip it into something that still had that emotional core but could also go off in a club or on TikTok. I built the drop to hit hard but still keep the melody front and center. A lot of back and forth, fine-tuning every detail — but once it clicked, we knew it was ready. And the reaction’s been wild so far.

 

Q) How do you approach reinventing an iconic song’s sound?

 

A) Very carefully — but with no fear. The key is respecting what made the original special, without being afraid to flip it on its head. I focus on the emotional core — the melody, the hook, whatever made people connect with it in the first place.

 

Q) What are other popular songs you would like to reinvent like you did with “She’s So High” being such a bop?

 

A) There are a lot, but I’m not about to give those away just yet. I like to keep things under wraps until they’re ready to drop — especially when it comes to TikTok. Once the video’s out, then I’ll talk about it, but until then, it’s all part of the mystery. Gotta keep some surprises, right?

 

Q) Who are some dream collaborations you have in mind?

 

A) Billy Talent would be a pretty wild collab — I think their energy could work so well with my sound. The contrast between their raw, punk-rock edge and the electronic side of things could create something really special. And Bob Seger? Now that would be a total curveball, but imagine blending that classic, timeless vibe with some modern production. It’d be unique for sure. Those are just two examples, but I’m always open to unexpected combos.

 

Q) What is your favorite part about touring?

 

A) I always thought touring would be this amazing chance to travel the world, see new places and experience different cultures. But honestly, that illusion didn’t last long — you’re mostly in the hotel, the club, the airport. What I really love about touring is seeing so many different people from all over, all coming together for the same sound. It’s wild to see how different styles hit in different countries and that shared connection through music is something special. That said, touring is exhausting. You barely get any sleep and you’re hardly ever home, but when you’re on stage, it makes it all worth it.

 

Q) What do you have planned for 2025 musically?

 

A) After “Pedro,” a lot of people labeled me as a one-hit wonder, and when the hype faded, the pressure to deliver something even bigger started to build. But instead of stressing over that, I’ve shifted my focus to growing my TikTok presence again. On tour, I just didn’t have the time, energy or strength to post new music. That was actually pretty painful because TikTok is where I really connect with my audience. But now, I’m back and my goal is to flood the For You Page with new tracks, showing everyone that I’ve got more to offer than just that one hit. 2025 is about proving that I’ve got depth and versatility in my sound.

 

Q) What would you like to say to fans and supporters of your work?

 

A) Last year, I was on tour so much that I barely had time to take in the support and appreciation from all of you. People were celebrating and congratulating me, but I was just overwhelmed by the situation. Now, I understand more than ever how much each one of you has contributed to my success. It’s not just me — it’s all of us, and I’m so grateful for that. A massive thank you to every single person who’s been there. You’re a huge part of this journey, and I truly appreciate it.
