How did you start using FL Studio & what does it mean to your productions? In my opinion, bass music is the “heavy metal of electronica”, so I think it makes perfect sense that I gravitate towards producing chiptune-influenced electro & dubstep. My brothers and I were completely mesmerized by the music coming out of the machine, so we wrote down the name of the song and downloaded it as soon as we got home (at 4kb/s, good ol’ dial-up!) That song, “ A (Renaissance) – DJ Amuro ”, catapulted me into the world of electronica, though I still listen to a lot of metal and video game music as well. One day I was at an arcade with my family when we saw some people playing DDR.

My go-to music was a combination of heavy metal and video game OSTs, but since I was a broke teenager with nothing but a piano, producing metal/orchestral didn’t work out too well. You have a unique musical style, can you tell us how you developed your signature sound?Īs weird as it sounds, I didn’t listen to electronic music when I first started using FL Studio. Looking back I realize how incredibly obvious my lack of practice must have been, but my teacher was extremely patient and accommodating despite how frustrating I most probably was to teach. In fact, if you ask anyone born in the early 1990’s I’m sure they’ll tell a very similar tale: I was forced to take piano lessons as a kid (which I absolutely despised), but instead of practicing I would just mess around and write my own music, or learn how to play songs from my favourite video games.

Music came into my life in a fairly stereotypical way. Tell us about yourself and how you got into music?
