.tonic.collective Presents: Off The Record 004 w/
Q: Tell us a bit about your background. How long have you been DJ’ing and/or producing & what got you into it?
A: I started DJing shortly after the beginning of the first lockdown, so about 4 years. I’d always been interested in music and dance music, and a few friends from home DJ’d so that piqued my interest, but I’d never had the time. Suddenly I did so gave it a go and fell in love with it!
Q: What genre(s) do you play and/or produce?
A: A bit of everything haha, but mainly house, garage, breaks, and club
Q: When was your first attendance at the Open Deck Night & how was the experience?
A: I was at the first one! I knew Nikesh through a friend. It was one of my first times playing to the public so it was super stressful but also really fun! It’s continually been a good motivator to keep practicing and getting comfortable playing in public.
Q: What do you like most about the collective?
A: The welcoming and supportive atmosphere. I was always a bit nervous about DJing and my songs and the support of the collective has really helped grow my confidence and my passion. It’s really nice to have a group of fellow people that enjoy music together and support each other.
Q: Last but not least: what are you most proud of/excites you the most regarding your musical path?
A: I think playing on King’s Day was the highlight of my DJing so far, playing for quite a big group of people and generally everyone really enjoyed it!! Going forward what excites me is the fact I feel like I’m finally honing in on my sound and how I want to DJ after seeing some inspiring sets this summer, so I’m looking forward to trying it out!
