O
Why and when did you start making music?
S
Because I couldn’t find the music I wanted to listen to.
It’s like The Police or John Abercrombie trio plays Chick Corea’s songs etc.
O
How did you connect with Osaré Editions ?
S
I loved Elena’s DEKMANTEL 2018 DJ set.
So I wanted her to listen to and play my demos, so I sent her.
She likes my demos and played some times.
And she asked me to release my demos on Osaré Editions.
O
Some insight of the mix you recorded ?

Mainly summary of the music that influenced me when I was in my teens and twenties.
