Q&A / Estoric

What inspires you the most? Why?

• I get inspiration from so many different sources. Looking back on past successes and looking forward to meeting new goals can be a huge inspiration to me. Music is not about the numbers but it can be a great acknowledgment of hard work and progression. Environment and friends in the musical sphere also give me a lot of inspiration. Watching my close friends David Chief and Notation reach goals is incredibly motivating for me to create. 

​

If you could tell every person in the world one thing, what would it be?

• I would just share Raphaelle Giordano’s quote, “Your second life begins when you realize you only have one.” I think everyone could benefit from hearing this quote several times a year. 

​

Where do you feel the most centered and happy?

• Environment-wise, I feel extremely centered and happy at home in my room. I’ve lived in 5 different apartments ever since I moved to Vermont, so I take a lot of pride in how I curate my room to be a comfortable space for many different outlets such as relaxation, art, video games and of course music production!

​

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

• Listening to my mom’s advice? All jokes aside, I’m learning to be a kinder person to myself. It’s always going to be a work in progress, but it’s crazy to see how a simple change in perspective can improve my mood and overall life.

​

If you could relive one moment in your life, which would it be?

• It’s so tough to pinpoint one specific moment as there are so many I’d love to revisit. However, a music-related event that was a real turning point for me was attending a free AraabMuzik & Flosstradamus show back in 2012. Watching AraabMuzik’s insane finger drumming skills was something I didn’t even know was possible at the time.
