"My passion for electronic music began in my childhood and grew as I worked hard behind the scenes, producing music day and night, leading me to attend big shows on the international scene - a journey of breaking the taboo of restrictions in the country of birth, underground music and hard work that has been worth every minute, if you ask me what the key is, the key is music production and consistency"
