In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. In third grade, I watched my elementary school orchestra perform jingle bells and other Christmas tunes. I wanted to play the following year, and based on what I saw, I chose the cello because the students got to sit the entire time. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Disclosure, Settle (Deluxe) Fall Out Boy, American Beauty/American Psycho Masego, Lady Lady I had these albums on repeat. My mom introduced me to Fall Out Boy with "Dance, Dance," and American Beauty brought that same energy. Disclosure got me into house music; their style was so unique. Masego is the best R&B artist by far. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Adria” I love afro beats, amapiano, and afro house. I wanted to make my own, and this was the product. Mele, a house artist specializing in percussive afro house, inspired me to make this record. I saw him DJ in the Adriatic Sea for a Defected boat party. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I played disco and funk house at the Amsterdam Dance Event in 2023 and 2024. I got to play B2B with my sister, who is a DJ in Madrid. Everyone there appreciates house music for what it is. Clubbing there is way different than clubbing in Canada. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? There is so much! My ultimate goal is to play at a big music festival like Coachella or EDC. I wouldn't mind collaborating with massive artists and potentially winning a Grammy. I always want to move forward.
