After that I was more into experimental and alternative music, like Tame Impala, Kanye, or Gorillaz. They all inspired me, but I always wanted to work in a creative field, so I can have an interesting life, full of different experiences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What differs you and your sound from other emerging artists in the music industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think the biggest difference between me and anyone else in the music industry is that I don\u2019t want to comply. I\u2019m trying to experiment and make a sound which is not necessarily trendy, or in a genre. My sound doesn\u2019t fit in any genre, which makes my life sometimes harder, but that\u2019s what makes it special.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your latest single \u2018Find My Way\u2019 ft. Puzzls, taken from your debut EP \u2018The Mystery of Time\u2019 is out now. Can you please describe the creative process and inspiration behind the project?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The biggest inspiration for this project was Kanye\u2019s \u2018Kids See Ghosts\u2019 and \u2018Ye\u2019 projects. I wanted to create something special and spiritual, but at the same time not too experimental as well. I wanted to create a short project full of interesting sounds.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7rhRpGMyFaA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>In your own opinion, what is the most meaningful song you wrote? What makes you say that one?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think \u2018Find My Way\u2019 was the most meaningful one. I love it because it can truly empower the listener, and it can make people to believe in themselves. The lyrics and the music are in perfect sync. \u2018Find My Way\u2019 also fully represents my style.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Throughout your musical career, have you experienced any \u2018wow\u2019 moments?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The biggest \u2018wow\u2019 moment so far was when I was featured in the BBC Introducing programme, or when I was working with Matt Foster. I think as I\u2019m growing and developing, there so many more \u2018wow\u2019 moments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What personal advice would you give to someone wanting to pursue this career?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think the most important thing is to make music, or anything full of love and with passion. No matter what. If you really love what you are doing nothing can stop, you. Enjoy every moment of making music and don\u2019t compare yourself to anyone else. Just follow your own path.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-87140\" src=\"https:\/\/nijimagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/dodo4-1.jpg\" alt=\"Dodo\" width=\"650\" height=\"701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nijimagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/dodo4-1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/nijimagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/dodo4-1-371x400.jpg 371w, https:\/\/nijimagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/dodo4-1-482x520.jpg 482w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>What does the foreseeable future hold for you as an artist?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the near future I want to release 2 more songs, with even greater visuals.
