- Hey Angello! Glad to have you here to talk with you about your latest release ‘Lights’.
Thank you EDMNOMAD for having me & yea let’s do it!
- Can you please tell us more details about ‘Lights? How did it come to life and when?
I started the project I would say 6 months ago. I had an initial idea with the vocals & baseline but didn’t have a direction I wanted to take it until 3 months ago I came across the file again & started messing around, liked where I was going with it & finished it.
- What sets ‘Lights’ apart from your previous work, and why should listeners tune in?
Normally with my previous tracks from the beginning I know how I want them to sound, But with this song I knew it was something special & I wanted it to sound exactly how I envisioned it. It’s pure rave/energy & normally with other tracks you have the break after the drop but I wanted to keep the energy going without it losing its momentum.
- How would you describe your sound?
To be honest with you I don’t know, I guess you could say emotion & energy really. I like to make whatever sounds good & interesting to me.
- Who is Angello and why music? At what age did you get into music and how?
My love for music started at a really young age. I was 8 years old when my Father introduced me to electronic music for the first time. He was also a Dj & I grew up listening to Underground, Disco, Hardstyle, Trance, you name it. I remember scrolling through YouTube & I came across a video titled “Tomorrowland 2010 or 2011 after movie” & it ignited something in me, it was the first time I ever got goosebumps & felt pure raw emotion of excitement! It opened up my world to different genres of music & fell in love with it. As for producing, I didn’t get around to producing music till I was a freshman in High School. But it wasn’t really producing, just a kid messing around thinking what I made sounded cool hahaha. Then I stopped for a while because my parents wanted me to mainly focus on my studies to get a good job. Once I got to college I tried to continue my studies but deep down I knew what I really wanted to do & what path I wanted to take.
- Do you remember the name of the first song that made you love electronic music?
The song was called “Living on video” by Trans- X. Honestly l’m only 24 yrs old I should be saying something modern from the 2000’s haha. But like I said before, I grew up listening to old school bangers thanks to my father.
- Who or what has been your biggest inspiration throughout your music journey?
Honestly I few but an artist who inspired me and I look up to is Martin Garrix. I’ve been following his work since “Animals”. He’s someone that keeps positive & works very hard, He’s someone I would love to hopefully meet one day & talk too about life & music while eating a slice of good pizza!
- What’s the one activity you love doing in your free time when not making music?
I like being active so I spend at least an hour at the gym almost everyday. I did a little bit of Muy Thai as well but had to stop due to work scheduling, Quick shoutout to my fam SSMT!
- Can you tell us more about your dream and future collaboration and what do you hope to achieve in the next 3 years in your professional career?
I dream of hopefully making this a full time opportunity. I love this scene so much for what it represents & how many people from different backgrounds can come together & enjoy music. Future collaborations? I’m open to working with anyone! But if I could pick one I would say The Weekend foreshore. I hope within these next 3 years I get the chance to perform at a venue & hopefully work with different artists & producers. I already made the step of releasing music, I just need to keep putting in the work & continue to have faith.
- This is all for now. Thank you for your time answering our questions. Where can our community find out more about your music and your future releases?
