What inspired you to start producing Afro House music?
“It’s the sound of my soul. I’ve always been drawn to music that has rhythm, that makes you feel something deep inside. Afro House just spoke to me in a way that nothing else did. It felt authentic and powerful, and I wanted to be a part of that. It’s an expression of freedom for me.”

What’s the next step for you? Are there any goals or dreams you’re working towards?
“There’s so much on my list. I’m working towards playing bigger festivals like Ultra, Coachella, and Tomorrowland. I want to reach more people, connect with more fans around the world, and share my sound on a global scale.”
