If music was an animal, what would it be and why?
Chameleon – Because it can reflect is environment
If you had a banana, 2 left ankle socks and a dwarf, where would you take them and what would you do?
I would eat the banana because its my favourite fruit and put the socks on the dwarf and train him to be my butler.
What has been your biggest inspiration during your dance music career?
The reactions from people in the crowd I get to play to.
Meeting and supporting Paul van Dyk – He is a true professional and talented artist.

If music was an animal, what would it be and why?
Albatross – the wing span reminds me of how many different genres there are in today’s EDM scene.
If you had a banana, 2 left ankle socks and a dwarf, where would you take them and what would you do?
I’d take them to Oxygen and eat the banana, use the socks as head bands and put the dwarf on stage.
What has been your biggest inspiration during your dance music career?
Sasha – Global Underground cd’s were a huge inspiration in my musical direction and Paul van Dyk was a DJ I looked up too and still do today.
