Where are you from? I grew up in Malaysia and relocated to Melbourne 5 years ago When did you start making music? Started making music ever since i could remember! Music has always been a part of my life.

I have never ever thought that I would embark on this journey of putting my music out there … I’ve always just made music as a form of release for myself. echolily - Under The Clocks Who is your biggest musical inspiration?So many! I have listed Sia, Bjork, Portishead, Flight Facilities, Tokimonsta and Jamie xx as my influences for my current project. If i have to choose one, probably Sia because she’s the best songwriter! What is your producing software? LogicPro ..but i prefer making beats with Ableton Live What other things do you do besides making music?I am a full time doctor. Specifically, an anaesthesiologist.

What is your favorite track of all time?Alicia Keys - If I Ain’t Got You https://open.spotify.com/track/76dxpaANn296XFoWI03pmQ?si=3ad1ec969ef24174 What is your best-producing tip?At the start of my sound design journey, I was so excited and wanted to insert every sound i’ve designed into a single song. They ended up clipping massively and impossible to EQ. My guru in production then reminded me that a song is like a puzzle, in order to fit together, they must have space. Allow a sound to shine through by muting the others, and then alternate that so each sound has its own space! Why did you start making music? I wanted to release all these songs I have echo-ing in my head. What are your goals for the future?To keep releasing music for the next year, and hopefully have a song featured on TV. I want my song on Grey’s Anatomy! What advice can you give for young music producers/DJs?Always ask for help when you need it! Please write a message to your fans.Hello! Happy New Year! This year, I am aiming to release my songs in a consistent and systematic manner. I hope you like them. You can count on me to always do my research, ask for reviews to improve myself.
