🎧 What is your current favorite / guilty pleasure / go-to playlist? ( no pressure, it doesn’t have to be Indiemono’s)

I honestly cannot listen to playlists because I have to check every single song for producers and writers

You make electronic music but you also have a traditional music learning background. Which one came first?

I started playing the piano when I was little Val, then came the drums, trumpet, xylophone, and eventually music production

What are the challenges that you face when blending your jazz knowledge with your music?

Id say the biggest challenge is to do as little jazz harmony as needed but as much jazz harmony as possible idk does that make any sense?

What are the steps to start learning to produce?

surround yourself with other musicians and producers, it helps tremendously to become better more quickly. my god for at least one year I thought that the kick drum was not supposed to have any high end…

Are you open to experimenting with new genres outside of the electronic world?

Always!

If you were a…villain?

I would be entirely useless due to my f*cked up kneecaps

🦕What’s your favorite dinosaur?

It has to be one of these massive underwater dragons

How do you see yourself in 10 years?

Still making music but my neck is gonna hurt 10x
