Kamil) Hey Gabdez, super nice to have the chance to chat with you. What is your dream project?
Dreaming is a stable state of mind in every artist, in fact little by little I have realized some of my dreams, nowadays is to grow as music producer.
Do you have any hobbies or interests outside of music?
Yes I love horse riding, skiing and travel because they develop my creativity and enlarge my visions with different prospectives.
Your latest song is 'Ella se pone (Radio Edit)'. Can you tell us more about the making of it and if there were any unusual things happening during the process?
I've been always attracted by latin songs and their vibes, so I tried to do something on my way following the house music mood/structure which represent me most. Nothing really unusual happened but I tried to make it not too much reggaeton but more house dance.
When you are working through problems in your work, who do you talk to?
I have a good network of colleagues, so we share opinions in this way with different feedback I try to get the best result.
What are you doing to ensure you continue to grow and develop as an artist?
Is important to have a vision, know where to go and what to achieve, keep going in the music production on the middle + long term goals. But also be ready for the "unsuspected" in good and in bad.
Describe your favorite and least favorite part about being a musician.
Making a song is definitely the best part of my dj job. I love to start a new project, because is the most important moment of the creativity to find a melody/sample or a word to work on and develop into an entire song. What I don't like is when the time is too little to finish a project.
Can you write what was your best performance in your career? How do you remember it?
I had the chance to play in very important venue (san siro stadium in Milan for the champions league final 2016) or with famous artists (D. Guetta, S.Ingrosso) in big stages, but my best performance is everyday when I'm called to play, because music is my soul.
What makes you angry?
It's hard to see me angry at work, I love too much my job and to show always only positive vibe.
What is an artistic outlook on life?
Is being ready to do sacrifices and being focus everyday on your goals and your growth.
What accomplishments do you see yourself achieving in the next five to 10 years?
I consider my self already satisfied of my career, but the real dream is never to stop dreaming because music has infinity roads, so I would say to leave a memorable song!
