Receiving support and recognition from established figures in the EDM scene has also played a role in elevating his career.

“Working with people like Sullivan King and Lil Jon really helped me figure out what I want my work to sound like. I think having people to look up to is important, and being able to work with other people that I have looked up to has given me a good understanding of the business.”
