Q&A / Aoko

What is your favorite season and why?

• I think my favorite season is summer. It's the perfect time to go out with friends, go to bed late, and produce music. I find the colors of nature magnificent during this period and it inspires me a lot.

 

Where do you feel the most centered and happy?

• The place that calms me the most is my home. It doesn't matter if it's a house or an apartment, as long as I have my little habits and the necessary at hand I feel good. It feels good to go out every once in a while, but I like to control what surrounds me and not be rushed by life and I feel the most centered and in control at home. 

 

What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given

• The best advice is always honest advice, whether positive or negative, I accept it because it allows me to learn and improve myself.

 

If you could live anywhere, where would it be? Why?

• I've been abroad quite a few times and really enjoyed it. Traveling allowed me to create wonderful memories, but I think I’d like to stay in France. I would, however, rather live in the city than in the countryside… I need to see other people to feel good.

​

Aside from lofi/chill beats, what is your favorite music genre?

• For me, the musical style doesn't really matter, what touches me is much more complex than that. Some melodies will have an effect on me while others won't… I have an affinity for original and creative music. However, there are styles that affect me more than others, for example right now I listen to a lot of phonk and hyperpop.
