WHO ARE YOUR MUSIC INSPIRATIONS?
Skrillex is the GOAT, but I also take a lot of inspiration from hyperpop artists: Jane Remover, kmoe, and Bladee have all been really inspiring lately. I also love the new and budding genre of color bass!
Artists like Sharks and Skybreak have really been pushing the boundaries of sound design. All these artists bring an artistic integrity to their music that I really appreciate.
ANY STYLE INSPIRATIONS?
No individual inspirations, but I take a lot
of my personal style from the indie/grunge scene in Seattle! I love a proper getup with a grunge twist i.e. wearing pleated khakis spray painted with graffiti.
WHAT WOULD PERFORMING LOOK LIKE
FOR YOU?
Have never performed! I’ll start DJ sets
in late 2024 - some lowkey events with friends!
WHO DO LIKE TO WORK WITH?
Ableton! Ableton! Ableton! I love it so much. It’s my work and my video games. I have been collaborating with artists across the spectrum here in LA: vocalists, producers, and even actors/poets.
I love collaborating with my close friends,
though I’m typically unconcerned with what we make. I like it as a process of learning new things from eachother.
WHAT THEMES ARE YOU MOST INTERESTED IN EXPLORING IN YOUR MUSIC?
Color and texture. I love dance music as it exists, but I feel there is a whole world of sound that remains unexplored. There is no limit to sounds you can make with digital sound design, and coupling that with real-life found sounds like rain and wind has been a really creatively liberating process. I really feel like I’m creating something new.
