Tell us about all the exciting things you have just finished or are currently working on. What’s the latest news, or what can we expect to see from you very soon?

Hey there! So…I just released my first vocal-based single titled ‘Reak”. Its a remix I’ve been working on for quite a while. The original was made by Rina & Switchdance
and im really happy with how it came out.
Aside from that, Modus and I are finishing the debut album of our new band, “Uncharted Territory”. A thrilling new adventure will see the light at Ozora this year as we will be debuting our music on this crazy stage. On a personal level, Im currently HAPPY. Which is something I appreciate a lot. I’m currently in Bali, recharging myself before I go back on tour until the end of the year.

How did you discover electronic music?

Daft Punk changed my life with Around The World. I’ve been hooked ever since and I
will never look back.

Can you explain a bit what ‘Crocheart’ does and stands for?
Crocheart is basically our way of giving back. Boaz (my partner over at Crocheart and a dear friend) started this project in 2020 with the idea of giving artists everything
they need in order to find their voice in the industry. We work with them in the studio, and teach them about social media (that’s your part in our system and we love you for it!), the industry side is being taught by Ori (aka Stereo Society), and most importantly the community we built around Crocheart. Over 30 artists that went through our program are there to support, collaborate, listen and love each other Crocheart is truly something I’m really proud of, and I intend to keep it going for as long as I can.

Share a fun fact about yourself that not many people know about.

I have really weird feet. All my friends and tamily make fun of me and its time to put it
our there haha. They’re really big and weird and I love them. lol.

Other than music, what is your passion, obsession, or something in your daily life that you simply can’t do without?

Easy, Food. I cook a lot. I’ve been traveling to Italy for over a decade now, and one of the reasons for that is my obsession with Italian cuisine. I follow chefs, recipes, ingredients and whatnot in order to cook the best Italian food myself. Food is my ultimate love along with music.

PS: Bad food makes me really sad. Don’ feed me bad food.

What is life all about, what’s the meaning of life to you?

Finding your purpose, understanding that there Is always more to learn, contributing back to society, and helping as much as possible while being as happy and fulfilled as possible.
