Musician

The way I picked the tracks for '99.9%' was based on the feeling of, 'Is this going to be a hit?' I wanted songs that people would immediately hear and remember.

When I'm playing, I play what I want, but I make sure that the crowd is going to love it at the same time. It's like a balancing act, a mix of two, a perfect circle... if you do it right.

You gotta be versatile, man.

I've always wanted to push someone who's not really known but has mad talent. I don't know if I'm going to do a publishing company or a record label, but I'm interested in pushing artists in any sense.

I like that people are still trying to guess what kind of music I'm making.

Nando's - boom! That's what I'm thinking of whenever I'm in London. I go there every time.

I love the London vibe. I get so much love from London that I never had from other places. It's crazy. The people there understand music so much more.

'99.9%' is the end product of years and years of me going through multiple styles and interests.

I don't think about doing new. I just do it.

I'm not just a remix guy.

Deep down, you know what you want, and you should go for it.

I was really not into school. Everything was distracting to me. I would have a beat in my head or a song. I was always not paying attention, just daydreaming.

I used to listen to my music on the bus. It was one of my favourite things, to look out the window and over at the Jacques Cartier Bridge and Parc Jean-Drapeau.

I didn't finish high school. I tried to as an adult, but with all this touring, I had to quit.

I don't feel like a live set even seems super real for an electronic act like me. It's not really that entertaining. I've seen a lot of my favourite acts take it to a new level with a live band and stuff, which is amazing, but for me, a live set would be boring to watch.

Neo-soul caught my attention more than any other sub-genre. I was really attracted by that sound. It made me do what I do musically: trying to find the same type of vibes, those nostalgic vibes.

I come from hip hop for sure, and there are basic elements of that, but then I'll take from somewhere else, like samba, and do it with trap drums. I like going places other people haven't gone before.

I always say I want creative control. A lot of people don't think about that. And that's what every artist should think of - being creative and not just a puppet.

The DJ thing is just a way for me to perform my songs in public. It put me on the map, and a lot of people discovered me because of my DJing and later found out that I made beats.

I'm looking for all types of sounds. Anything that has soul and funk in it, no matter the genre.
