Taking influences from his environments and his deep love for a wide range of music, the trained producer branched out into various genres, taking the essence of what he felt resonated most with him in that given genre and re-applying it into a different context and character. He created two different projects mainly infused by Deep / Groovy / Bouncy sounds.

SYNESTHES!A -  traveling through the faster moving realms of dance music. 

Synesthesia is a neurological condition in which information meant to stimulate one of your senses stimulates several of your senses. Synesthesia comes from the Greek words: "Synth" (meaning together) and "Ethesia" (meaning perception). 

Numeraki - venturing in the slower paced landscapes / beats.

"Nu" (phonetic pronounciation for new) and "Meraki" which is a modern Greek word, derived from the Turkish “Merak” (to do something with soul, creativity, or love; to put something of yourself into your work). 

The more freedom he is given to experiment and try out new things, the happier he is, forging together a mix of sounds which will surprise your senses and make you perceive music in a whole new light.
