1. Hey man, how are you doing?
I’m perfect, thanks for having me ☺
2. A couple of weeks back you dropped an amazing collaboration with Mike Jay called “My Heart”, can you share the process behind this tune like how you teamed up and produced it?
I was working last year with Mike Jay in the studio for a week in LA. We recorded many tracks and when I came back to Europe I worked heavily on those tracks ‘My Heart’ is my favorite because he has 2 emotions, the first emotional part where Mike is singing on it and the drop which comes with full energy.
3. The track features a beautifully shot music video, what was the inspiration behind that? Do you think it’s important to deliver a visual message along with the music?
Yes, we were thinking of a story that shows disappointment. Mike Jay’s wife was cheating on him, so we explained from the start of the video the love and attention he gave her and in the end we saw her true colors. We were thinking about a story which shows up a disappointment, Mike Jay’s wife cheated.
4. What were your early influences?
I always listened to rap and R&B in the past but at the same time, I was amazed by DJ’s like David Guetta, who is from France as well. He started combining Dance Music with pop vocals in an early stadium and that opened my eyes, so I started to look for vocals in the genres I liked and started to used them in my tracks as well.
5. What do you do when you’re not in the studio or touring?
Working lol, I also stay with my family and do a lot of sports. I try to have a healthy life and good energy around me.
6. What were the major highlights of 2019 for you?
The major highlight for me this year was my collaboration with Lil Jon. It was great to work with such a talent and I was so happy with the resulting track.
7.Thank you for taking out time for us! Any message to your fans?
