You’ve had an incredible experience in Vietnam so far, can you name a few highlights from your career?
My biggest accomplishment yet was playing at Ultra Korea on the Mainstage for sure. I was one of those guys that would watch these big festivals and dream of one day being able to perform in one of them, it was a dream coming to reality. The moment I saw my name in the lineup was an unforgettable memory, and certainly one that I will cherish forever.
My second biggest achievement was to sign a song on Hardwell’s imprint, Revealed Records. This was one of my goals since the beginning, and to be honest I still have only have positive things to say about Revealed.
The third biggest achievement for me is to be able to perform. I just feel very grateful every time I step on the stage. Especially when I play with incredibly talented artists, it is very inspiring!
What is your biggest goal?
Well, you would probably guess as this is the thing that most artists dream of doing. My goal is to play at Tomorrowland Belgium, Mainstage!
What are your main influences on music?
I’m all about festival music. I love everything about it, the way it sounds, the way it makes people go crazy and enjoy themselves… I just can’t get enough of the atmosphere and I want to share it with as many people as possible.
