Who and what are your influences?
I’m influenced by the people I meet, the places I experience and the different cultures around me. Growing up with American and Swiss roots, living in the mountains, travelling and working in hospitality have shaped the way I see life. I’m inspired by authenticity, freedom, creativity and people who follow their own path.
What have you achieved so far?
So far, I’ve built a strong background in hospitality, working across different areas including bartending, kitchen, service and management. Alongside my hospitality career, I’ve developed my path as a DJ, playing in different venues, mountain locations, outdoor events and nightlife settings. These experiences have taught me how to create memorable moments, connect with people and understand what makes an atmosphere special.

What are your future goals and plans?
My goal is to continue developing as a DJ while building on my experience in hospitality and events. I want to play at more venues, festivals and international destinations, collaborate with other artists and brands, and create memorable experiences through music. Most importantly, I want to stay authentic, keep learning and grow step by step.
What do you think are the biggest challenges you face when DJing?
One of the biggest challenges is reading the crowd and finding the right balance between my own style and what the moment needs. Every venue and audience is different, so staying flexible, confident and connected to the atmosphere is key. I see these challenges as part of what makes DJing exciting.
What do you think is the best part about being a DJ?
The best part is creating a connection with people through music. Seeing a crowd react, feel the energy and enjoy the moment is incredibly rewarding. I love being able to shape an atmosphere and create experiences that people remember..
What do you think is the worst part about being a DJ?
The hardest part is that not every crowd, venue or night is the same. Sometimes the energy doesn’t connect the way you hoped, and there can be pressure to meet expectations. But I see those moments as opportunities to learn, adapt and become a better DJ.
What do you think makes a great dj?
A great DJ knows how to read the room, connect with the crowd and create the right energy at the right moment. It’s not just about technical skills or the music you play — it’s about feeling the atmosphere, staying authentic and creating an experience people remember.
Current favourite track(s)
My current favourites are tracks that combine groove, emotion and atmosphere — especially Organic House, Afro House and Melodic House & Techno. I’m always discovering new music, so my favourites are constantly changing with my mood, experiences and the places I play.
