Hi Tony! How are you today?<\/strong>
I\u2019m doing good, thanks for asking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you remember, who was the first Electronic Music artist you listened to? Was there one artist that you happened upon that was influential in sparking your passion for the genre?<\/strong>
I remember vividly the first time I ever heard Electronic music and it felt magical. A different sound to what I have known and used to hearing. Since I was a kid, music in general, was a big part of my life, with Hip Hop and Rap from the early 2000s to EDM and House music. There isn\u2019t one artist or even a song that sparked my passion for House music. It\u2019s more of a journey through the spectrum of Dance
music. From there I progressively gravitated towards Tech House and developed my own sound and style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have your musical influences evolved over the years? Have you found yourself finding inspiration from a range of different genres?<\/strong>
I\u2019m from Marrakesh Morocco, grew up with Hip Hop\/Rap music and then discovered House music. At a very young age, I enjoyed the club scene; the energy and the vibe are immaculate, I don’t have a set of words to describe it. It\u2019s the euphoric feeling that pushed me to follow this path of Electronic music, I just want to make people smile and have a good time as they dance the night away. That is where I find inspiration from, my journey as a fan of this genre, to an Electronic music producer. I think people like Tony Kay and enjoy my music because I really do my own thing, not trying to be anybody else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there one sub-genre within Electronic Music that you tend to gravitate towards when it comes to your own listening habits and finding music that inspires you creatively?<\/strong>
It’s important to have a creative state of mind, to not be afraid to try new things, and to not just follow the current trend. I do like to listen to music from different cultural backgrounds, more so my roots, and try to distinguish all the different instruments that are played. From drums to strings, various percussions and everything in- between, that gives me a much broader perspective on music as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
