As a child, I grew up listening to American ballads and alternative rock. This created a deep, natural emotional connection to music at home long before I ever discovered electronic music.
I realized electronic music was my path when I first felt an overwhelming sense of pure joy listening to it. The unique sounds, textures, and deep emotions it transmitted spoke to me in a way no other music had before.
My first major encounter with electronic music wasn’t in a club, but at a festival back in 2019, when I actually had the privilege of performing at La Solar festival here in Medellín.
Experiencing that massive festival energy and sharing the stage with world class artists opened my eyes and inspired me deeply to pursue this journey.
Artists like Guy J and Kamilo Sanclemente are huge inspirations for me. Their ability to craft deep, emotional, and hypnotic progressive house journeys is incredible. I’m deeply inspired by producers who focus on storytelling and creating a true atmosphere rather than just chasing drops.
The latest releases and albums from the Anjunadeep, Meanwhile Excursion and Lost & Found catalogs. I love listening to complete album projects because they offer a broader narrative beyond just club tracks.
In the studio, my main setup consists of my laptop and headphones. I also work in my friends’ studios to refine, produce, and finalize my tracks. For DJing, I play using Pioneer DJ setups (CDJs) with rekordbox, ensuring a smooth and seamless performance.
I am currently finalizing my upcoming original music tracks, preparing them for my upcoming podcast episodes and future releases on select labels.
You can catch me playing regularly at Sonorama, where I’m a resident DJ in Medellín. I’m also preparing for an exciting upcoming show, opening with the Warm Up set for Martin Garrix at Davi Arena this December.
This podcast is deeply special to me, as it encapsulates the essence of the sound that defines me as an artist. My goal was to weave a sonic narrative through time a progressive journey that envelops the listener in hypnotic atmospheres, genuine emotions, and an engaging energy.
