1) Tell us about your background getting to where you are today?

I started off by working for a local record store called HMV and it was whilst working for them I decided to pursue my career as a DJ. I didn’t face many hardships as I had the support of family members. I bought some DJ decks, converted my garage into a studio, and started to learn how to DJ by watching other DJs perform. I then started off by playing at family events, then local bars and clubs and I slowly started to get recognized. After djing for a few years I then decided to take a chance and decided to produce music which resulted in releasing two hit tracks in 2013 and 2015. Slowly but surely I started to get recognized and the recognition continues.

San Sebastian: I collaborated with the producer, Johan Kronlund, for nearly 2 years, so we have developed a good understanding and shared vision for the desired sound we aim for in my music. The goal was to turn my flaws into something optimistic, capturing a sense of future possibility by blending a melancholy message with an upbeat, danceable rhythm.

4. What inspired you to write “Again and Again”? Was there a particular ethos, music style, or events that sparked the songwriting process for this single? Were there any collaborations on writing the lyrics?

San Sebastian: The song “Again and Again” was initially composed by the famous Swedish artist Darin Zanyar and his co-writers.

Unable and unwilling to let go, they cling to the memories of a love that once felt real and the hope that they might reunite. Despite knowing they will get hurt again, the chance to feel happiness, even briefly, makes the pain seem worthwhile. By combining vulnerable lyrics, expressive melodies, and a more positive and hopeful production, the song illustrates those who put on a positive front and hide the absolute truth.
