In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My musical journey started at age four, listening to my uncle’s record collection - mostly Serbian pop/rock on 12" and 45s. I was fascinated by the sound and the ritual of playing vinyl. Those early moments sparked a lifelong passion for music. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Fugees, The Score (Expanded Edition) Queen, Greatest Hits I, II & III: The Platinum Collection The Pogues, If I Should Fall from Grace with God (Expanded Edition) I chose The Platinum Collection by Queen, If I Should Fall from Grace with God by The Pogues, and The Score by Fugees. Each shaped my taste: Queen’s timeless songwriting, The Pogues’ raw storytelling, and the genre-blending sound of The Score. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Analemma (I Will Follow You) [feat. Claire Hayek]” is special to me because it’s the very first track I ever produced, back in 2009. It marks the beginning of my production journey - and it’s still my mom’s favorite song of mine. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? One of my most memorable moments was being flown from Montreal to Vancouver - twice - to perform at Bar None, a legendary club. Playing there and connecting with a new crowd on the other side of the country was an unforgettable experience. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? One of my goals is to release a track on labels like Defected or Toolroom, and to perform in Ibiza. Those are iconic platforms in house music, and playing there would be a dream milestone in my journey as an artist.
