- You’re an artist now, but you started out as a producer. When did you realize music was truly your path?
I was born into a family of musicians, and was lucky to inherit their talent early on. My dad set me on the path of violin and piano when I was about seven, so music was my destiny long before I even knew I had one.
- You’re about to release the album STUDIO 54. What vibe does it have, and what should people expect?
STUDIO 54 is my world, a universe where everything is possible, unfiltered and without limits, full of eccentricity and sometimes controversy. Inspired by the real STUDIO 54 on Broadway, I gathered characters from all corners of that world, from a young Donald Trump to Michael Jackson, rockers, and punks, and brought them together. I imagined what music they would listen to, and distilled the ’80s sound essence into one album, with my own twist and madness.
- STUDIO 54 is a name full of history and energy. What inspired you to go in this direction?
I was inspired by the idea of absolute freedom, extreme style, and people living life differently. In everything I create, I try to take an essence from real life, an experience I’ve lived or something I resonate with, and filter it through my own lens until it takes shape and color.
- You have a standout fashion style. When did you start building your visual identity, and how has it evolved?
I think I built my visual identity the moment I realized clothes aren’t just clothes, but an extension of my personality. At first, it was pure instinct, I wore what I felt without overthinking it. Over time, I started refining my style, turning it into a visual language that speaks for me before I say a word. I don’t care about trends, I care about wearing what makes me look like I come from a world I invented.
- What were you like as a teenager? Were you already expressing yourself through music and fashion, or did that come later?
As a teenager, I was already my own kind of character, though rough around the edges. Music was there before I even understood what creating meant, and clothes were my way of standing out from the usual crowd. It wasn’t a phase or something that came later, I always felt the need to create my own soundtrack and costume for life.
- If you had to pick one style that represents you best, what would it be and why?
I don’t think I have just one style, but if I had to choose, it’d probably be a mix between a ’78 rockstar, a character from a movie that doesn’t exist, and a dream I had two years ago.
- Do you follow any designers or fashion icons that inspire you?
I like Kanye, Pharrell, A$AP Rocky, Demna Gvasalia, but honestly, I don’t dress like anyone else. It’s a mix of whatever I’m feeling at the moment. I can draw inspiration from anyone, but when I walk out the door, I want to come from my own world.
- What was the experience of shooting for Touch Magazine like for you?
It felt like meeting a version of myself from a parallel universe, and deciding to shoot together. Touch Magazine is very open and dope in every way. The rest you can see in the photos.
- Out of all the outfits from the shoot, which one was your favorite and why?
I loved the sporty look, with the Nike bandana, super skinny clothes, and the Hello Kitty cereal box. I looked totally crazy, a mix between Dennis the Menace with liberty spikes and a ’90s fashion model. I fucking loved it.
