A: There are too many to mention! A lot of amazing experiences.. Of course you can’t win all the time and there were some bad ones but usually it disappears from my memory. So all I remember are great (or at least good) gigs.

A: Nothing at the moment. I have everything I need which are laptop and some soft synths.. Less is better:)

A: Listen to the music I like.. Electronic or not.. Doesn’t matter.. And if I hit the wall, staying away from what I am doing and come back in a few days..
Q: Where do you think the music industry will be in five years?
