Interview
“I Wanna Be Around” has this great mix of pop and progressive house vibes. What made you want to bring back the feel of 2010s progressive house but give it a fresh spin?
I just love that era of music. I listen to those kinds of songs daily, and I hope I can make people fall in love with the music I’m creating.
The song touches on the ups and downs of relationships in a really honest way. Was there a specific moment or experience that inspired the lyrics?
Ever since I moved to LA seven years ago, I’ve always had trouble finding someone who was consistent. It wasn’t until I met my girlfriend that I started to believe in love again.
Your sound is so immersive, with lush synths and big vocals. How do you go about building such a rich, layered vibe in your tracks?
I start by finding a song I like for inspiration, then work on creating cool melodies that capture those big progressive house vibes.
You started Accio just last year. How does this track show where you’re headed as an artist?
I feel like Cult Creatives has really helped me develop my brand and tell a more cohesive story with my music.
You’ve got this solid foundation in classical piano and went to Icon Collective for production. How does all that training and experience shape the way you make music?
I think my classical training and my studies at Icon helped me craft catchy melodies and a strong foundation for my songs.
Your music brings out emotions and memories. Do you consider yourself a nostalgic person?
I definitely consider myself nostalgic. I love looking back on memories and strive to create music that feels timeless.
With your EP coming soon, how does “I Wanna Be Around” set the tone for what fans can expect next?
My fans can expect more big progressive house tracks. I have a lineup of songs releasing through July, and I’m still working to add more through the end of the year. This year, I want to be more consistent with putting out music.
