What's your creative process like? Do you write from life, from imagination, or somewhere in between?

I write songs based on my own experiences and observations, but also from imagination.

Do you make music better alone or with other people in the room?

I haven't had the opportunity to work with someone yet, so I don't really know.

What do you do when creativity stops flowing? How do you get it back?

I take a few days break and do stuff not related to music.

What do you do outside of music that secretly makes your music better?

Don't know if it makes my music better, but I like woodworking and carpentry.

Was there a specific moment, song, or artist that made you think, "I need to make music"?

Growing up I listened to dance, eurodance, trance, techno and house music. All this electronic music has stuck with me. So when I started making music myself there was no doubt what genre it would be.

For those releasing for the first time: what took the longest, making the music, or getting the courage to put it out? For those releasing again, have you developed a template or process that makes the process easier?

For me making music is just tons of fun. But building courage to release it was hard.

What's something you refuse to do online to promote your music, no matter how much it might help?

I would never badmouth or disrespect other artists to gain attention.
