You can listen to music, but when you create your own, it takes on a
different form. I think the process of creating a sound and a feeling from
scratch is probably the magic I’m still exploring today.

I put together my first track back in 2015, playing around with a few sounds in an MPC software and whatever programs I had at the time. From there, making music stayed with me. It was never a full-time commitment in the beginning. It was something I would come back to whenever I had the time, with everything else going on.
Then, around 2024, with life getting freer, I made a conscient decision to take music more seriously and really see where I could go with it. That eventually led me to 2026, which became the year when I decided to fully commit to it.
I always felt the music
emotionally stronger than other events in life, from when my relationship with
music started in my childhood, with disco tracks my dad used to play when I was
growing up. I remember my dad’s
birthday parties when I was a kid, with all that ’70s disco coming from his old
Magnetophon tape recorder - which I still have it - I can definitely hear those
memories in the way I connect with sound.
Then came the ’80s synth-pop
period in my youth. During the long summer holidays, I’d spend a lot of time
with my cousins and friends, and we’d end up at the local discotheque.
Later, in the ’90s, it naturally
moved into the trance and clubbing era. So, I guess I went through quite a few
different musical worlds without really thinking about where they might take
me.
When I eventually started making
my own music, it kind of shifted organically into something a little different.
I found myself spending more and more time in front of the DAW, experimenting
and creating something that felt more minimal, progressive, textural and
hypnotic - in a way, all those things I listened to when I was younger are
still somewhere inside the music I make now, even if not in an obvious way.
You grow up, you discover new
music, you experience different things, and somehow all of that gets mixed
together. Then, when you start creating your own music, it comes back out in a
different form that define you as an artist. I think that’s probably what I’m
still exploring today.
