MY ART

I love my work. I’ve always liked music growing up and I think it’s my first love. There’s just something beautiful about writing a song, putting it out there for people and hearing how it gets transformed and reinterpreted by the listeners.

I started writing when I was 13, But went to work in a call center when I was 18. After five years of that, I decided to just pursue my passion and start making music.

MY PROCESS

When I was younger, I used to imagine how songs back then would sound better if they added this and that on the melody or the lyrics. I also liked to play with the chords with existing songs and change it around, wondering how these chords interact with the song. Nowadays, I just start with an idea, a feeling and a message. I start with a statement and I build the song around it – the right chords and the right melodies. I go by feel. I start playing on a guitar to lay down the chords and then record it and just create a beat afterwards to make it EDM. I love what I’m doing. That’s what keeps me inspired. And I’m lucky that my source of income is also my passion.

I rarely compare my works with other artists, so my inspiration is almost always random bits of sound I have in the soundbank that is my brain. I just enjoy writing songs and making beats and worry less about whether people compare it with other artists, cause I believe that as long as your composition process is honest, you can be proud of the song regardless of the common feedback.

MY JOURNEY, SO FAR

My journey as a musician took a really good turn when I got introduced to Hifan and Flipmusic. I learned so much from the people I worked with there and I still practice the good habits I learned from them. My most successful track so far is “Free” with BV. I collaborated with artists Nica Del Rosario and Kio Priest on the songwriting. We did not expect it to reach so many people.

I don’t really have anything too rigid laid out for my career. I just go with whatever life throws at me and where the beat takes me. I believe that no matter how much you plan, life always finds a way to shake you off-track. You dance with it anyway.
