Q&A With Jassim 

-    Where are you from?

Muscat, Oman

Bristol or Havanna

-    When did you first start making music?

When I was 17 I started making acoustic music and transitioned to electronic at the age of 24.

-    What is your favourite/most used DAW? Why?

I like Apple's Logic mainly due to it being the main DAW that I have studied and used. It is very intuitive and I like the layout.

Favorite electronic artists are Mike Paradinas, Plaid, Del Dot, AFX, and Ochre (to name just a few)
