Hello Ozz Gold. Do you like living in United States? Can you recommend this country to people from Europe for example?
Hi! I personally do enjoy living in the United States! Things are super accessible and there are tons of things to do here. I would definitely recommend visiting the United States, it definitely has a lot to offer, but I wouldn't go as far to say it's better to live here than other places, just different :)
How do you structure your day?
I start out waking up with my fiancé, meditating, and going over my schedule today. Then I head into my day job, the Air Force. When I get home is usually when I focus on some music. After a couple hours I'll go to the gym. At this point in time, I am usually the most creative (around 1800). This is my favorite time to work on something creative like a new melody. Afterwards, I spend time with my fiancé :)
Your latest song is 'When I'm With You'. Can you tell us more about the making of it and if there were any unusual things happening during the process?
Something pretty unique that happened during the creation process is during the melody creation. I spend about 6 hours one day trying to create the perfect melody. I was pretty frustrated but I had faith that something would come to me. Then, suddenly, the next day I came back to the song and found the melody in about 2 minutes. The rest of the song I finished over the course of a couple days. I find it interesting that my most creative moments are when I try the least. I really enjoyed producing this track.
Do you sing in the shower? What songs?
All the time! I currently, I've been singing a lot of Role Model.
What is the biggest mistake you have made within your career to this point?
Not starting sooner!
Can you tell us where you get inspiration for your songs?
I get the most inspirations from my experiences, both positive and negative.
Do you have any hobbies or interests outside of music?
Yes! I love going to beach, working out, spending time with friends, and family.
Do you have a dream person with whom you would like to work?
Definitely Kygo. He has been my biggest inspiration.
As an artist, what sets you apart from others?
I think my background sets me apart from most other artists. I don't know many other prior military producers.
What are your plans for the future?
My plans for the future is to continue to make feel good, energetic dance music! I am currently also working to sing over my own tracks which is very exciting for me :)
