Hi Luca! You’ve just remixed Kelly Clarkson’s ‘I Don’t Think About You’ via Atlantic Records! What was the inspiration behind this and how did you get involved with Kelly and the label?
I was actually doing another remix for the label, when the A&R told me that he’s also looking for a great remix for Kelly Clarkson’s latest single ‚I Don’t Think About You’. It’s a big honor for me to have remixed one of the most successful female artists of our time! I’ve always been a huge fan of Kelly’s work!
You’ve quite an impressive array of remixes so far for artists such as Alessia Cara and Tom Walker – how do you usually approach remixes from a production point of view? Do you have any production tips for those looking to start remixing a track?
I always try to not loose the original vibe too much but at the same time still try to bring in something that’s new and fresh. It’s always tough to do remixes of tracks that have a similar style to what you do as an artist, that’s why I think it’s super helpful and important to choose tracks to remix that are not in the same style, so you can still bring in your own signature sounds but at the same time you’re able to keep the vibe of the original.
Do you have any plans for more original material this year? Anything you can tell us about at the moment?
I’m working on a lot new original music at the moment, but unfortunately nothing that I can announce yet at the moment.
What do you have in store in terms of shows this year? Anywhere you are most looking forward to performing?
I’m playing a bunch of big shows this year, which I’m super excited about! Next month I’ll be part of the World Club Cruise together with Robin Schulz, Lucas & Steve, Nervo and lots more where we’ll tour on a cruise ship to 3 beautiful cities on the mediterranean sea.
What’s your main goal for 2018?
My main goal for 2018 is to finally release more original music. I think I did quite well with all my remixes in the past, but it’s time to focus again more on original stuff. As I said there’s lots of new music in the works, so hopefully I can show them to you guys very soon!
Do you have any hobbies outside of music that you enjoy?
I love food lol. So what I always love to do is finding new places and restaurants. Besides that I love to go out with my dog and just clear my mind in the nature.
