Your music career started in 1996. How has your vision of music and the industry evolved over the years?

So much has happened over these years. I’ve explored different genres—from underground to pop—launched unique projects, toured the world as a DJ, and worked in studios with incredibly talented people. Every stage of my career has been a new chapter, a fresh experience that helped me grow as an artist.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is this: stay true to yourself. Music isn’t about chasing trends or success; it’s about expressing who you are. When you create from the heart and put real energy into your work, people feel it.

It’s also important to embrace change, experiment fearlessly, and constantly improve—not just as a musician but as a person. The music industry evolves rapidly, but if you stay authentic, innovative, and committed to growth, doors will open, and new opportunities will find you.

You have collaborated with some of the biggest names in electronic music. What has been the most memorable collaboration for you and why?

Yes, I’ve been lucky to work and perform alongside some legendary artists—Skrillex, Gesaffelstein, Diplo, Tiga, Damian Lazarus, Boys Noize, Steve Aoki, Yellow Claw, Apashe, Proxy, and many more.

Every collaboration has left its mark on me because each of these artists has a unique style, a different creative approach, and a distinct artistic philosophy. They’re not just DJs or producers; they’re visionaries who shape the industry and inspire millions.

It’s hard to pick just one, but I’m incredibly grateful for every artist I’ve worked with. These experiences have been a huge source of inspiration, pushing me to keep evolving and exploring new directions in music.

Besides music, you’re active in the NFT space. What inspired you to explore this technology, and how do you see the future of digital art?

Music has no boundaries, and I’m always searching for new ways to integrate and promote it. NFT technology opened up a whole new world, allowing me to merge sound, art, and technology in ways I never imagined.

I’ve worked as an NFT artist, creating unique art pieces paired with music. I’ve collaborated with incredible talents like Ann Andrzhievskaia, Balykin Pavel, Pyotr Dyakov, Soldart, Adonai, Viktoria Veisbrut, and Daniil Vasiliev.

My works have been showcased on Binance NFT, Third Place Gallery, Musee Dezentral, and I’ve spoken at major NFT and tech events like TEDx, ADE, Dubai Expo, and many others.

For me, NFTs aren’t just a trend—they’re a powerful tool. They give artists true independence, enabling them to monetize their work and connect directly with their audience. The future of digital art lies in blending the real and virtual worlds, and we’re just at the beginning of this revolution.

You’re the author of several books. What inspired you to write them, and what is the main message you want to share with your readers?

Each of my books reflects my journey, my knowledge, and the experiences I want to share:

  • “Das Ziel” – A guide on how to stay focused on your goals and overcome obstacles. • “Artist” – A practical handbook for aspiring musicians, answering the most common questions about building a career.
  • “Music. Art and NFT” – Explores how NFT technology helps artists break barriers and find new opportunities.
  • “Human3000: Biohacking Basics” – A book about biohacking, co-written with my mother, a doctor of science at Oxford. It’s based on solid research and our 10+ years of work in the field.
  • “108 Meditations” – A collection of meditation techniques from my 15 years of mindfulness practice.

My goal is to help people grow, explore new possibilities, and find balance between art, technology, and personal development.

As the CEO of the biohacking community Human3000, what innovations or practices do you find most promising for enhancing human potential?

Human3000 has been around for over 10 years, and we’re continuously expanding. Our project includes:

  • An Instagram blog with biohacking insights.
  • A VR smart game for Oculus Quest to teach meditation and yoga.
  • A meditation app with custom techniques.
  • Online and offline events focused on health and performance.

I launched this project with the support of my family—many of whom are top medical professionals. It’s my way of combining medicine, technology, and personal growth. Because no matter what you do in life, if you don’t have your health, you have nothing.

Your project Amadei was included in 500 Startups. What is the mission of this platform, and how does it support independent artists?

Amadei is a next-gen platform designed to support independent musicians. We help artists learn the business, develop their concepts, manage distribution, monetize their music, and even secure investments.

In short, we offer 360-degree consulting, helping musicians not just release tracks but build long-term, sustainable careers in the industry.

If you could give one piece of advice to young producers looking to break into the electronic music scene, what would it be?

Create something new—don’t just copy what already exists. Find artists who inspire you, but don’t imitate them—develop your own unique sound.

Don’t limit yourself to just one genre—experiment, push boundaries, and evolve. Work on your music every single day. Focus on sound design, branding, and networking.

And most importantly—never give up. If you’re truly passionate about music, you’ll find your way.

Your album “303 Model” with Hitrax, released on Universal Music MENA, is an exciting project. What was the inspiration behind this work, and what makes it unique compared to your previous productions?

This album is more than just music—it’s an art project. Alongside the album, I created a reimagined Roland TB-303 as a robot, which was showcased in contemporary art museums and released as an NFT video piece.

The concept behind “303 Model” is going back to the roots. It’s my way of paying tribute to electronic music’s origins while opening a new chapter in my career.

The album is deeply inspired by classic Detroit House and the legendary Roland TB-303 synthesizer. Every track was created using only analog equipment—303 Acids, 909 & 808 Bass Drums—legendary instruments that shaped house and techno. The result is a raw, pure electronic sound—perfect for club sets and Boiler Room-style performances.

Spoiler alert: I’m already working on a new mini-album, “7 Faces”, set for release in July. It will feature seven tracks, each representing a different human emotion, accompanied by exclusive photo and video art from top photographers. I’m also planning a personal exhibition as part of the release. But we’ll talk more about that in our next interview!

Thank you!
