How has being Aussie born influenced your music?
Growing up in Melbourne has played a bit part in my career as a producer / DJ – there is a really unique music scene here, we have our own sound known as the “Melbourne Sound” or “Melbourne Bounce”. Getting to collaborate with some of my friends & pioneers of the Melbourne sound such as Will Sparks, Orkestrated, Reece Low has definitely kept the inspiration flowing!
