Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Playing in Ibiza in a few venues had a different feeling with the crowd being the best one in the world.


What's your favourite type of event?

Small nightclubs and daytime venues.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

Started with a course at an Academy in Italy back in 2007.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

All the underground DJs are really important as they make good music with genius creativity despite low payments for the artists sometimes. Overall Swedish House Mafia is my favourite as I have followed them since they were 20 years old and completely unknown. The greatest song is probably Swedish House Mafia - Leave The World Behind.

Performance Info

4-hour DJ set.

Yes.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Yes.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Accurate and ideal for the event.


What music is required before my performance?

Normally I would benefit from chill-out or ambient music at a lower volume, or deep house music if another DJ is playing before me.
