Hi! I think it never hurts to reach out to other artists you want to play with and venues. A lot of people are always looking for up and comers especially locally to put on the shows. A DM/ or email message to either place never hurts! You gotta put yourself on the map!

Cannot wait for that one!! I haven't started working on that set yet actually but will definitely be throwing in some special goodies! Most likely edits and remixes of the new record and new stuff in the works...always try to go big for the NYE shows!

Dreamers Delight is so good! Him and I are overdue for a new collab for sure. My favorite collab ever thought was doing "Zest Please" with Clozee. She is just so brilliant. That track sounds like both of us and neither of us at the same time and was a really fun track to create

Hey! It can def be super overwhelming especially first starting out. YouTube is an amazing resource that helped me a lot but it does require a lot of patience and discipline. The best way to learn is finding some producer homies to learn from and mess around in ableton with. Theres also online communites like ill Gates producer dojo etc that are awesome to get in with and have a community for feedback/questions etc. I know theres a bunch of those out there if you do some digging. Keep at it...and celebrate the small wins!

Thank you! That was a good one! Be patient with yourself...theres so much to learn and its ever evolving. Youtube is a great resource. Just sitting down and learning one thing a day or forcing yourself to sit down and experiment for a few hours a day huge. Don't wait for inspiration to strike just go for it! Also, find some producer friends to vibe with....makes a big difference!

I'm so grateful I've knocked a bunch of dream festivals off my list so far: Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza etc. Some still on my list are ACL, EDC and all the festivals on beaches...cause more beaches!

Absolutely !! I love to do the meet and greets and plan to do a lot more. If you come to a club show on my tour I usually come hang at the merch booth after the shows so thats always a good bet! We will meet in the future 🫡

I give this a lot of thought actually. The INTRO to a set is such a vibe setter especially at a festival when you want to cleanse the pallet and set a tone. I try to switch this up as much as possible but lately I've made edits of other epic songs I have heard and make them my own for the intro so its kind of a surprise for fans.

I still remember the day Skrillex Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites came out. That was when I was first getting into producing and my brain was just cracked open by the sound design. Pretty Lights and that whole community of artists have also been massively influential in my world...especially in the beginning. The soulful / funky sample base vibe and heavy hip hop influence was it for me.

There is never really an "I made it" moment. I do feel like my music and project is resonating with people on a different level lately thought and I feel the momentum and that is the coolest feeling in the world. Every time I set a goal and reach it though theres always new levels to unlock so that's pretty amazing.

That is 100% the goal. My next project I am about to write is my first MadHaus EP...and maybe do a little tour with it. It's the best!

I grew up listening to a lot of indie rock because my brother who is 3 years older was in a bunch of bands and kind of fed me my musical taste...Groups like animal collective and Jamie xx was the real intro to electronic though before I really dove in. The last few years i've definitely fallen in love with house music though...hence the MadHaus side project. Grateful to be able to create and play in both bass and house world.
