How do you think knowing how to play instruments, like the guitar or drums, informs and improves a DJ's music?
Interesting question. I'm actually of two minds on this. From my experience, since I started playing western classical piano from the age of three, having that knowledge base really influences my DJing as I treat the entire set as a composition, using the songs as building blocks in a way. However, I know that many DJs and electronic music producers I admire and am influenced by have never touched a traditional music instrument. With any art form, it seems that after a point, to truly develop further, you have to abandon everything you learned... But you still had to learn it to get to that point!

What long-term impact do you think taking part in and winning a reality show (which involved making remixes of tracks) will have on your music, if any at all?
The experience was like a boot camp in music production, with the three judges as our professors. It has totally transformed the way I think about my music production and how I go about making my music. I am evolving as an artiste and thoroughly enjoying the ride. Hopefully, as more and more of my new original music gets released, listeners will feel the difference.
