We had a chance to ask him a few questions for you all to get to know him a bit better and this is what he has to say.

1. Q. Where were you born?

A. I was born in Paris, France.

2. Q. When did you first start listening to electronic and dance music?

A. I started listening to electronic and dance music when I was 15 when I discovered the post-dubstep movement, especially music that came from UK.

3. Q. What other types of music influence your productions?

A. I would say every type of music that I always bee influenced by hip hop and jazz.

4. Q. When are you completely satisfied with your music?

A. I try to push production to the maximum and it keeps evolving, so i'm completely satisfied when I feel that I am making something really new from myself.

5. Q. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

A. I love clubbing, and Dj'ing really. The only moment i'm feeling really good is when I play music. Going to nightclubs and discovering new atmospheres and music is also very important for me. I also love food, so when I'm free, I go to some original restaurants and bars in Paris.

6. Q. If you hadn't been born in this century, when and where would you
like to have lived and why?

A. I would loved to have lived in the 1970's because mainstream music was Disco, not shitty pop music like nowadays.
