How do you like the music scene in India?
Actually I was really happy to see that a lot of people here in India know my music. So as far as I saw the scene here, I like it big time.
When did you start with this career?
My career started with my first release, Copacabana on Chris Lake's label Rising Music in 2008. And the main suspect to blame for my career start was Pete Tong. Since I won his music production contest Bedroom Bedlam back in 2007 with my track Copacabana.
How has the journey been? Tell us about the best and the worst times so far...
My journey was most of the time and still is very inspiring, joyful and positive for me. I think if you lose joy and inspiration for whatever is that you are doing, then you should definitely change your job. The only a bit not so cherished moments of my job are the flight and airport waiting moments. Those are the worst.
