Tell us about yourself, and your musical background? - I.e. where do you live, when did you start playing music?

Tell us about your biggest musical influence in your productions? 

- Nicolas Jaar! ⭐️

​

What is your favorite album?

Sketches of Transition by Seb Wildblood. 

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar. 

Portraits by Maribou State

Upcoming album by Nabihah Iqbal on Ninja Tune  (keep an 👀 as it’s a magnificent body of work). 

​

What do you do in your free time?

​

Who is your favorite non musical artist?

​

Tell us something nobody knows about you

I-  love Drake’s earliest works, and wish to produce for him someday.

 

Tell us about some upcoming projects, events, etc.? 

- There’s plenty of things planned for 2023! No surprise if you tell early ;) 

​

Where do you see the future of electronic music going right now? 

- Blurring the boundaries between genres!

​

How has it been working with Satya?  Tell us about the music scene in Pakistan? Tell us about your experience playing at Jody Wisternoff’s debut in Detroit?

- Working on Satya’s brand strategy & design has been the highlight of 2022, I couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with. 🚀

The underground music culture in Pakistan has positively evolved with more artists, promoters and music enthusiasts alike. We still have a long way to go. 

My gig with Jody Wisternoff accounted for the first time I went to a night club; it felt surreal to play my own music and watch people vibe to it in a different country. 🫶
