Behind the name
Before I knew what a DAW or a synthesizer was, I already sought refuge in sound. In my childhood, music was a lantern in the shadows.

Origins and childhood
From a very young age, I knew that music would be a part of my life, although I wasn’t sure how. My grandmother enrolled me in guitar lessons, but when I saw that my younger brother progressed faster, I became discouraged; that was one of the first times I felt disconnected from something I wanted. I didn’t understand that these kinds of frustrations would be an essential part of my artistic journey.
The electronic awakening
But everything changed on a highway, returning from a family trip. EXA FM was playing on the radio, and between commercials, a song slipped in that would change my course: “One” by Swedish House Mafia. I fell in love with it so much that I made a habit of listening to the radio and preparing a cassette to record the best songs. I asked my father for a USB drive with electronic music, and soon I discovered a universe on YouTube where I met DJ BL3ND, a crazy guy who danced like he was possessed in front of his camera. And I thought: “That… that’s what I want to do.”
Shortly after, my father took me to a high school event at a nightclub without alcohol. It was the first time I’d seen a DJ in action; I didn’t drink or dance, I just watched and understood that what I wanted wasn’t to attend the party, but to be the one creating it.
First steps as a DJ
I searched “how to be a DJ” on Google, downloaded Virtual DJ and, with my PC keyboard, I began exploring sounds at night. I wanted to go further, so I learned to automate functions, program effects, understand what a good mix was and why. I showed up at small gatherings with a laptop of just 7 inches and yet, something magical happened. All those people moved for me, they stayed happy; time disappeared and I felt complete.
