Hello Salvione! How are you today?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi! I’m doing really well. Thank you for having me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin, what artists or producers have had the most influence on your sound and style over the years?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing up in the New York City club scene I\u2019d have to say some of New York’s finest in Danny Tenaglia<\/strong> and Victor Calderone. I\u2019ve spent many nights that turned into days listening to these guys, so, to say they haven\u2019t influenced me would be a sin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a stretch of time when Guti\u2019s<\/strong> live performance was my benchmark. I vividly remember losing hope in music at one point thinking everything and everyone just sounds the same, and I caught Guti at a party doing his live set, this was when he would play the keys live. I thought \u201cWhat is this?!? I need more of this, I need to bring this into my music.\u201d It was so refreshing. The grooves he creates and his musicianship have really made me want to push myself as an artist. I even have his jazz album and saw him perform it live at ADE one year. The guy is just a top talent and a big influence. No question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d also have to say that Nic Fanciulli<\/strong> is another one. His versatility as a DJ is always something I admire. When I was living in Barcelona, summer of 2019, Nic\u2019s Dance or Die set was on repeat every time I would run, before I hopped in the studio. I\u2019d say that set alone really helped shape what my current sound has become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was there a specific song or musical work that you heard early on in your musical journey that sparked your initial passion for Electronic Music?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, I remember my very first night out. Keep in mind; I was more into Hip Hop and Pop as a teenager. It was Jonathan Peters’ Birthday event at the Tropicana, and during his set, he played an acapella version of ‘I Feel Love’<\/strong> by Donna Summer<\/strong> layered over another track. I distinctly recall him stripping away all the elements, leaving just the vocal, and the crowd went absolutely wild. In that moment, I thought, ‘Wow, this is incredible! I need more of this in my life,’ and the rest is history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
