What is music to you? What does it give you?

For me music is a very broad concept, and for me music is both a language and a culture and beyond the rhythms and melodies that we hear more than once, I believe that music can transmit you an unlimited number of emotions and feelings, The correct song can make you happy and sad, it can make you remember moments that seem to be forgotten and it can transport you to a world of your own by boosting your imagination, in the same way it can make you reflect on important things and make special moments become unique, the Music is something incredible that has always accompanied the human being and it is that, that is music for me.

What is your music dream?

My musical dream is to show and generate certain emotions that are very relevant to me, such as feelings of reflection and euphoria, emotions that make you feel good about yourself and what you have, that make you be better and what if the moment is sad, feel some tranquility and get over it.

If you could change the world - what would you start with?

Well, it is a bit complicated since it would be necessary to change several things at the same time since for me there are basic pillars in the process of improving the world so if one is not well built it is possible that everything will fall apart, but I think the Teamwork is essential for any important change, and that is achieved if we accept that at the end of the day we are all equal, we are all human and regardless of your educational level or your physical strength we can all help in something and help improve the world For me the objective of human beings and of life in general is to stay alive and we do not get anything good if we look for differences between one and the other and use those differences to destroy ourselves, so to change the world I would start with equality.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Well I like to believe that music has always been with me since my childhood, but I remember that at school I participated in Christmas music contests with my class friends only using a flute, then in high school in music classes I started with the piano but I think that my musical education was not complete, since I wanted to pass the level and not learn something, actually, I respect music and I only had music classes for 2 years in high school so if you ask me about my childhood it was Christmas songs, but if you want a song they will always be very special for the songs of Swedish House Mafia, Don't You Worry Child, Save The World, Your Name and One, these songs I heard in my adolescence and they marked a point in my life since in reality It was the first time I heard something similar and I can only say that I loved it.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

This is very easy since my favorite artists are Super8 and Tab, Above and Beyond, Armin Van Buuren, Cosmic Gate, Swedish House Mafia, Avicii, Andrew Rayel, Vicetone, Tiesto, you know these artists and their music greatly influence how I do My music and besides that Sabrina Carpenter in the last year has been an artist which influences my music a bit and I have become a bit of a fan of her.

What inspires you to make music?

I believe that what my music makes me a better person for all the incredible things that I feel and I want to share that with the world, that everyone feels that, happiness, euphoria, tranquility and peace. I am inspired by all those emotions and also I always try to tell a message with each song and before I said it lately, the music of Sabrina Carpentes inspires me a little because it is as if despite living in different worlds she expresses things very similar to my life and that. it inspires me.

What is the message you want to send with your music?

To be honest, at first my main message was to give emotion and everything related to that, but I went through problems in which I was very down for a while and disappointed with myself, at that moment I went from the Big room that was my favorite style to listening to music a little sadder, until I got to the Trance genre and that changed my life a lot because from the beginning they made me feel good with myself, they made me reflect on what I am and that everything is fine, it made me feel calm, and that's what I want everyone who listens to my music to feel, but at the same time they go further and end up happy, euphoric and good with themselves

How do you feel when you perform in front of an audience?

Well all my life until I was 20 years old I was very shy but with music I began to be more friendly and to stop being shy it was until I was twenty and already in college that I had to literally force myself to talk more since I started talking to people new for something we do at my university in events, and that helped me to be more expressive and to speak in front of many people with confidence, but at the moment my main audience is the people of my university in those events I have not yet had the privilege to share my music with many people at the same time but I think it will be weird at first but I think I will do well, I hope.

How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

I think that the artists lately are showing themselves as something more real, I mean that before they are seen as unique beings and difficult to reach but now they are like a little more transparent, they are more human, and I think it is a good starting point For improvements, you know they are an artist, they are admired by many people but they show themselves as people in some way equal to us, I think that is something incredible in an artist.

What do you think of Drooble?

I think it is an incredible place where you can show your music and even go further and show everyone how you really are and what you like, your favorite artists, which inspires you to practically be more real and grow with that, it is simply amazing.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

For a while I was very frustrated with not being able to finish some songs, then when I got over that, my next frustration was that I was not reaching an audience or popularity, and I think it is a current problem that if your name is not very popular you Music suffers, and there are cases in which your music is incredible but you are not very popular, you will be at a standstill and it is something that frustrates me a lot but lately my music is starting to gain popularity and my current concern is how not to get off myself Current situation.

Do you support your local scene as a fan? How?

Well, I already said it before, stop being shy when I speak but my shyness when leaving is still very present, also there are not many things of this type in my city and of the few that there are, they are a little smaller and private what makes them You have a hard time knowing where and when but in the few that I have been able to attend if I have become very fanatic.

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?

I think that current music demands a basic level of knowledge about music in general, this helps a lot when making your music since you know how to make the most incredible melody for your current project, sincerity is something that will always be good received, have a strong mentality and don't give up the first time, always give your best and always seek to improve even when it seems that you are already perfect or that your music is perfect and learn everything, it is never wrong to have some extra knowledge.

Share some awesome artists that we’ve never heard of.

I have always been a very fanatic with the idea of growing up together, I know some friends from my university who have a musical band but they do it only as a hobby and they do not go there anymore, so I do not know anyone else but when I do, be sure that I will share them with you.
