Get to know Diego Druck, a talented EDM artist who discovered his passion for music at age 14 and has since channeled his eclectic influences into his productions, including remixes for Major Lazer and SUPER-Hi. He has just released his new single “A Different Way,” all details are revealed in this interview!
1 — How would you describe your sound and how has it evolved over time?
I’m an extremely eclectic guy, so in my productions, I always try to bring inspiration from all kinds of music genres and masterpieces that shaped my music taste throughout my life.
2 — When did you realize you wanted to turn music into a career?
At age 14 I went to my first EDM festival and got to see first hand Vintage Culture playing a set while the crowd went crazy happy. At that moment I realized what I wanted to do with my life.
3 — Can you talk about the experience of remixing for artists like Major Lazer and SUPER-Hi?
It was unbelievable for me when I first found out I would have a chance to submit a remix for both of them. Even more when they got approved. I’m eternally grateful for the opportunity of working with these icons and share a track with them. Both of them are huge inspirations for me.
4 — What is the inspiration behind your recent song “A Different Way”?
At the time I first wrote the song with my guitar, I was going through some internal conflicts about some decisions and my life paths. “A Different Way” is a reflection of myself.
5 — What steps did you take when producing it?
It started as a Jazz-like sound on my guitar, and I kinda free-styled the lyrics on it. Later on I passed it to my DAW and started building a House beat behind it, then recorded all the vocals and guitar sounds over it. Fun fact: the acoustic guitar used for the riff fill was the guitar my father got from his father when he was only 5 years old.
6 — How do you hope listeners will respond to this tune?
I hope everyone can assimilate what I was feeling and inspire reflections about themselves. I guess everyone has these kinds of thoughts about their own life choices.
7 — Is there a formula to gain a million streams?
Just try to do music just like you would love to hear!
8 — Are you already working on upcoming projects?
Not only working but there are several tracks ready to go for the next months, originals and remixes. Stay tuned!
9 — How did Florianopolis shape your music?
The EDM and clubbing scene is very strong in my city. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to experience it from a young age, and it has opened many opportunities for learning and expanding my musical background ever since.
10 — Musically speaking, where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Just as I am now, learning and exploring the infinite universe of musical possibilities.
