He attended music school from an early age and aspired to become a pianist. A friend made him listen to some famous dance tracks on cassette tape, and he fell in love with electronic dance music, turning into a producer when he was 19 years old. I started writing songs. He initially produced songs in the trance genre under the name "DNS Project", but then moved to his current house genre.[2] He is influenced by classical composers such as German composer Hans Zimmer and John Williams, as well as electronic artists such as Daft Punk, and his songs incorporate many elements.[2] After creating progressive house songs, he sent some demos to Avicii's LE7ELS label, but they were not well received at first.
