Songs with melodies and interesting arrangements with multi layers. I want to create a sonic journey for the listener.

My music blends different genres. With my synthwave music, it combines classic elements from the 80s with modern production.

I’m currently working on a synthwave EP with Swedish guitarist Jonas Isacsson (who played in Roxette’s band). I hope to do more remixes for other artists in the future and attend more music networking events overseas.

Tell our readers a funny episode that happened in your career as an artist.

I released a remix for The Corrs and had to rush the release date in order to meet the Grammy entry deadline. I had Jim Corr’s approval to go ahead so submitted the song to my distributor. In the next few days, I got an email from Business Affairs team at Warner Music and freaked out as I thought there was a legal problem! It was all good though as as they offered me a contract to sign.
