Good morning ysheso_, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What makes you lose track of time—and find yourself again?
Digging for music and prepping for a set. Additionally, when I am in the studio working on track – time flies by and I am so present. I cherish these moments.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. Who taught you the most about work?
My Dad. He is a hard-working provider for the family. I respect his grind and ambition to create a better life for his family than he had for his own.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
Stay true to yourself and stay tunnel visioned on your dreams/goals you have and they WILL happen.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. Is the public version of you the real you?
Absolutely – the version people see while I am playing music or when I am at home is 100% me. Being real is what sets you apart from all the noise that comes with the music industry,
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. When do you feel most at peace?
When I am at home with my partner and puppy – watching tv and having dinner. I feel at peace and feel safe from the world.
