Thank you so much for interviewing with us! Can you share your story on how did you get started in music industry?

Thanks for having me. Well, I was attending a video game conference called EGX in 2009 with a good friend of mine, Zan. It’s a fun day out, we get to play unreleased games sometimes years before they came out, 13 year old us was right at home. As we queued up for Metal Gear Solid the conversation of music came up. I asked him what kind of images he visualised when listening to sounds. I was expecting an answer similar to mine with some slight variance but instead he told me that he didn’t visualise sound. ‘’What do you mean??’’ I asked, he said that sounds are just sounds and he doesn’t see anything, if he wanted, he could imagine a video to go along with the music but the sounds themselves didn’t create any visual consistency in his head. This surprised me quite a bit because for as long as I can remember, the WHOLE point of listening to music was to appreciate the beautiful interplay that shape and colour had with the instruments being played. So, I did some googling and realised that I experience some form of Synaesthesia. From there, I started exploring further, downloaded Propellerhead Reason 5 and began experimenting. A little bit each day and in a few months, I was producing some loops that satisfied me. I continued producing quietly in my bedroom for few years then built up the confidence to release instrumentals on Soundcloud. On the side I was writing rap lyrics along with the instrumentals, a few years of doing that eventually resulted in creating my first project with a friend and artist ‘Rin’. We released Lobash: Reggaetronics Vol.1 in 2020, an eclectic blend of underground alternative Hip-Hop with Electronic and Reggaeton flavours. This got my foot in the door; I proved my talent enough to begin connecting with artists and collaborating with people online and in my local circles. This was the end of Phase 1 of my career.

We are now entering Phase 2…
