SEED:
“I've had the privilege to travel the world as a professional dancer for almost 8 years now and it led me to move to Hong-Kong in 2018. This is where I really started to focus on music and it brought me to play my first gig at Salon 10, one of my favorite spots in the city. “ - Guillaume Michaud

ROOTS:
“I'm very attracted to progressive sounds especially when it gets dark and sexy. I remember hearing the song “Lost” by Hunter/Game one night at Stereo and it gave me so much life on the dance floor. I really love how hypnotizing their music is and they always have their unique touch that inspires me.“- Guillaume Michaud

I would say Deep Therapy gave me the opportunity to expand my curiosity into deep house music." - Victor Rodriguez
