1. At what age did you realize that music was your passion?

“Already when I was 7 I started making rap texts haha but I've always had a big passion for music and been crate digging for new music my whole life! When I was 15 I started listening to more electronic music and when I was 19 I found out how to make it myself!”

2. When did you really start pursuing music with laser focus?

“A few year after I started making music I started to get bookings with no clue how to play... and not only in my home country but also in The Netherlands, Germany, Russia and more. At that point I knew that I had to give music a serious try and it was not just a hobby anymore.”

3. What advice would you give those who get stuck on this journey?

“Sounds cheesy but never give up! I've had too many writers blocks and been thinking about quitting so many times but that's exactly where it's important to keep pushing. It's also really important to have fun on the journey and make the music that you wanna make for yourself and are not making music to become rich and famous!”

5. If you had to pick 1 person... who has impacted you the most?

6. If you could thank 2 people right now who would it be and why?

“My mom and dad for giving me the life!”

“In my younger days it was danish rappers and US rapper like 50 cent, Eminem, Snoop Dogg and more!

Then Skrillex, Flux Pavillion & Doctor P when I became older and started listening to electronic music.”

8. What has been your most memorable moment on this journey?

“Playing sold out shows all around the world is amazing ahah but playing festivals like Coachella and Tomorrowland is a huge bucketlist!

I remember a specific moment where I was touring Australia and Asia, and I was in as hotel room in Brisbane with my mananger and got bookings for both Coachella and Tomorrowland while we were touring on the other side of the world..That was a big moment!”

9. Who do you see yourself collaborating with next?

“I wanna say some DJ/Producer but I'm thinking more about collabing with singers at the moment. I do have a lot of collabs coming with other producers and a lot of them are coming out in the beginning of this year!“
