Behind the Scenes: My Journey as a Producer
This is a glimpse into my world, where DJ sets meet studio sessions, and the vibe is always disco-house. Here is what drives the energy behind every track I make.
Here's me in my element, surrounded by the tools of the trade. I use a mix of keyboards and synths like the Nektar Impact and Novation Launchkey to find the perfect melody and build tracks from the ground up.
A look inside my home studio during a soulful disco set I recorded. This is where I test out new ideas and bring that live DJ energy into my productions, making sure every beat is ready for the dancefloor.
Super honored by the title "The Disco Alchemist" for my TEDx talk. It perfectly captures my passion for blending soulful disco and house music to create something new and exciting.
This is the official artwork for my debut track, "Where Were You?". Creating the visual identity for a track is just as important as the music itself, and this captures the dreamy, colorful vibe of the song.
Inspiration can strike anywhere, even poolside. I often take my portable gear outside to catch a different vibe, proving that you don't need to be locked in a studio to make a groovy beat.
A full look at my creative space. My setup includes multiple turntables and a Pioneer DJ mixer, surrounded by my vinyl collection which is a constant source of inspiration for my house and disco productions.
Getting featured in Grazia was a huge moment. They highlighted my journey as a multi-hyphenate creative, from DJing and music production to fashion and graphic design.
About Featured
When I work on a track, I don't just use stock samples. My setup is centered around my vinyl collection and analog synths, which I personally tweak to get that soulful, underground disco sound. Whether we are remixing a demo or building something from scratch, the goal is always to create a beat that hits hard in the club and sticks in your head for days.
From the DJ Booth to the Studio
I spent years behind the decks, living for that moment when the crowd loses it on the dancefloor. But I always wanted to make my own stuff. It took about six years of figuring things out and messing up to finally start releasing my own electronic music. My studio is my playground. I mix classic turntables with modern digital synths to capture that specific energy.
How We Can Work Together
I am not just about the music. I am about the vibe. If you are looking to collaborate, I bring that same DJ intuition into every beat and melody. Whether you want a brand new track, help shaping your sound, or a remix that will light up the floor, I am all in.
My production process is collaborative and transparent. For remix projects, I focus on club-ready arrangements that get people moving. For original compositions, I handle everything from vocal processing to individual stem delivery, ensuring you have total creative control for future edits.
Why Disco and House?
If you are into disco, house, and a dash of techno, we are probably on the same wavelength. My music is soulful and underground, built on grooves that get stuck in your bones. I believe in collaboration, and when we join forces, the energy is unmatched. Let's make something that melts dancefloors.
