From that day he has been involved with Symmetry Recordings.

Hey Jack great to be interviewing you.
Hey Maryanne, thanks for having me!
So let’s start right from the beginning.
What was the actual year you began producing?
I think it would have been around 2011.
I was in sixth form college doing subjects that were unrelated to music.
It was a group of people I met there that got me into making electronic music.
How did you break through with releases on Symmetry?
I met Charlie & Isha at a music production seminar in Bristol.
I gave them a CD of my music and I got an email back a week or so later.
I really couldn’t believe what I was seeing when I read the email saying Break liked my tunes and they would like to meet in Bristol.
I really do owe them a lot for taking that first chance with me!
Did you have releases on any other record labels before then?
Nope they were the first label I’d ever released with.
Your forthcoming release on Symmetry features a collaboration with Madcap & Vanity Jay.
How did you arrange those collabs?
I first reached out to Madcap when I heard his tune ‘Sunset Strip’.
I still play that track on every set!
He very kindly sent it over and we started a conversation from there.
I was sketching out ‘Always There’ and just thought that characteristic Madcap sound would be perfect for it.
He brought some really great vibes to the production.
He’s also such an easy guy to talk to and a real easy going character; exactly what you want in this game!
You are very experimental with your production and cover all genres of music.
Do you go under an alias name with other genres of music?
At the moment, no.
I’m writing a lot of alternative genres at the moment and I’m still undecided whether to make a new alias for it all.
As you can tell by my current name, I’m not the best at making up Alias’s! haha.
Myself and Quartz have started writing some very experimental music, which I’m loving so no doubt we will come up with a new moniker to release that under soon!
Do you see yourself continuing to produce D&B in 5 years time?
I’m not sure.
I love writing D&B as the tempo has so much energy and the scene is so cool & unpretentious.
I think it’s the most professionally produced electronic genre and it’s really informed the productions I do today on other genres.
I work at Rockfield studios and I work bands and artists day to day, which I really love doing and will continue for the rest of my career.
I think being involved in both worlds is really beneficial as it gives me a well-rounded view of the industry.
I am definitely able to take lessons and inspiration from electronic and non-electronic genres and make something unique.
As long as it still makes me happy, I will continue to make D&B.
Who will you be working with next?
Myself and Break started something a while back, which I’m very excited about and I’m currently finalising some vocals with Tenisha Edwards on a new track.
I love collaborating and always keen to work with someone new!
Will we be seeing you Djing more sets over the next few months or are you locked down in the studio?
I haven’t been playing much this year so far as I’ve been so busy writing the album and producing for bands at the studio.
That said, I recently joined the Soul in Motion booking agency after playing there last week.
I love to travel and share my music with people so I will definitely be taking on more bookings.
Of course any special mentions and final words?
Shouts to Charlie & Isha for the continued support and guidance.
Everyone who I’ve worked with and everyone who has pre ordered the first single.
Oh and bigups to my Mum x
