INTERVIEW
CR: First, we want to say hello and ask you how you are doing during quarantine?
G: Hey what's up! Thankfully things haven’t been too bad, but this has definitely been an adjustment. I’m grateful for the position I am in as I know many others are dealing with worse conditions.
CR: There are a bunch of different genres mixed together in your latest track ‘WYN’, which artist or genre was the main influence for this track?
G: WYN is a weird one haha. I’d have to say after listening to a few Sullivan King & Flosstradamus DJ sets, I was inspired to create something dark and put my weird spin on it. There aren’t too many “slow trap” records out there that really smack you in the face. So I would say WYN is mix between dark dub & trap.
CR: We know that you have been producing for a while now, how has the journey been for you as an artist and as an individual?
G: My journey has been an interesting one for sure, filled with ups and downs but ultimately this path has taught me the importance of believing in myself. I’ve connected with so many different people so far and I look forward to seeing what the future holds.
CR: Your signature sound is Trap/Future Bass and Dubstep. What other genres influence you on a daily basis outside of these two?
G: I’m a big hip-hop fan and used to play the drums for 8 years, so anything I’m making has to have amazing drums ha! I really enjoy listening to progressive house and lots of melodic stuff.
CR: Who is your biggest supporter as a Producer/ DJ?
G: My biggest supporter is definitely my fiance. Without her, I probably would’ve stopped producing honestly. She definitely puts the battery in my back and truly believes in where I am trying to go as an individual.
My brother is another one, he’s always supporting my art and pushing me!
CR: Are there any collaborations or remixes in the works for you this year?
G: I do have an official remix for Flux Pavilion that is in the works, that should be a big record which I am fairly excited for!
CR: What do you like to do during your downtime other than producing music?
G: Are you sure I can’t say producing? ;) During my downtime, I love to stay active so going to the gym and playing basketball with friends are big ones for me. I’m a pretty social guy, so when time permits I’m up for a fun night out if there’s some good music around
CR: Is there a show that has been the most memorable in your journey as a DJ?
G: I would say my most memorable show in my DJ journey was in 2013. I was direct support for Avicii (RIP) during his Levels Tour. It was my first time playing in an arena, playing in front of my friends and it basically confirmed for me that this is something I want to pursue.
CR: Since we are all quarantined in what other Dubstep/Trap artists are you currently listening to at the moment?
G: In quarantine, I've been listening a lot of different artists, but 3 I’m currently I’m listening to are 4B, Excision, and Nitti Gritti.
CR: Do you have any advice for our followers that are trying to make it in the industry?
Gl0bal:
● First, I would say, ensure you surround yourself with peers you trust and peers who are able to give you honest feedback on what you are trying to do. These individuals will keep you grounded.
● Practice, Practice, Practice, there’s always more to learn so don’t be afraid of learning
● There’s no right or wrong way trust your gut
● Network, get yourself out there and introduce yourself to people within the industry and make your presence known. People are more inclined to work with people they can put a face or name to.
● Lastly, believe in your own sauce. It sounds silly but in the social media age, it can be easy to think a certain amount of likes, followers,reports means your art is good. Any creator should remember that they control their success and without hard work and persistence you won’t get too far. Put in the hours.
