"Feel It" has such an engaging and melodic vibe. What was the inspiration behind this track, and how did the creative process unfold?

So I started Feel It back in late 2019, it was a track that I would touch up and work on over the years. I always loved it but never knew when the right time to drop it was, other tracks kept coming out and I kept pushing it back until earlier this year when my laptop broke down. I lost a lot of progress on Feel It along with some other tracks and that gave me the push to finally finish it and put it out. 

The inspiration behind Feel It is that I tend to bottle up how I’m feeling at times, it’s a problem I’ve struggled with for years but have gotten better with, especially this year. Feel It says let it all out and feel what you’re feeling with pride, don’t sit around and let whatever it is eat at you or feel discouraged to express yourself. We don’t have peaks without valleys and to me, what makes hitting the peaks feel so great is acknowledging the valleys, navigating them and working to climb out of them. And when you do hit peaks, embrace them! They’re deserved and you shouldn’t feel bad for enjoying them.

Growing up as a classically trained musician, how have you incorporated that background into your electronic music production, especially in your latest work?

That’s hard to answer because my classical background has been branded into me for so long. I’ve written this way for years whether it's for an orchestra, a flute and piano duet or for tracks like Feel It. As a flute player, I’m big on melodies and nailing them is important of course. But as a piano player, I love constantly messing with chord progressions and their voicing positions, the possibilities and opportunities to experiment with those seem endless. It’s 2nd nature to me, all I’m doing is what I’ve been doing all my musical life while expanding it by learning and adding more to my palette.

After reaching a wide audience and collaborating with major artists and labels, how do you maintain your originality and versatility in such a competitive dance music scene?

I think it’s important as an artist to have your own sound and style, which to me requires a lot of learning and listening. Like in visual art when you look at a Monet or a Basquiat piece, you can very much tell it’s their works and that’s what I strive to do with music. I feel like I’ve done a pretty good job at that so far and as long as I maintain and grow my sound, I feel comfortable just writing whatever I want honestly. I don’t like sticking to one genre, it’s not a bad thing for those who do, but for me I like writing all kinds of stuff. I like to let my ideas guide me to where they want to go and build around them. Of course they need revising over time and several versions until they hit just right, but to me that kind of experimenting is so much fun and one of the main reasons why I love making music. 

With many achievements in 2025—playlist features, radio support, and streaming milestones—what are your goals moving forward, and how does "Feel It" fit into your journey?

Feel It fits into the journey in the sense that it reaffirms that my heavier side is never going away. I love that high energy, heavy bassy music, it gets my blood pumping and I thoroughly enjoy making it. I also love making and putting out tracks like "Nostalgia", "Always" "Moonlight" and "When You See" and I’ve recently been leaning into those kinds of lighter tracks. But I want people to know that my heavier side will always be around in some capacity one way or another. 

In regards to my goals moving forward, there's so much I want to do and I’m a very ambitious person. From playing more shows worldwide, to working with my favorite artists, to having my music listened to by millions of people as well as to positively inspire those people, it’s hard to pinpoint anything specific without going into a crazy amount of detail or forgetting something. All I can do is put the work in and trust in God, he's the one that put me on this path and I’m grateful for every step of it I’ve taken so far. 

The electronic music scene is constantly evolving. How do you see your role and sound evolving in the next few years, and are there new sounds or experiments you’re excited to explore?

My role is as an artist that wants to push the boundaries, especially my own. I get pretty stubborn so I want to challenge myself and hopefully inspire others to do the same. I’ve been working on a new EP since this summer for example and I’ve been trying some new things out, leaning more into my roots than ever before. It’s something I should’ve and wanted to do a long time ago and hey maybe in doing so, I don’t do anything trendsetting or untraveled. But if what I do inspires even just one person to crack open their laptop and play around in a DAW or to pick up an instrument for the first time,  then I’ll know I’ve done my job.
