Formula Indie Sessions _ Interview with GDMZ
What is your earliest memory connected to music?
Ever since I can remember, music has been with me. It started with children’s songs, and later I began discovering other genres. I found some of them on my father’s vinyl records, and then through AM and FM radio as I grew older. Music has accompanied me through all my years of studying and working—it helped me, and still helps me, focus. And now I enjoy composing, searching for new sounds, and experimenting.
How did your passion for creating music begin?
For many years, I’ve been interested in art—mainly music, film, and animation, which I studied a bit as a hobby. I’ve always been drawn to audiovisual art. I never formally studied music, except for a little guitar, and my academic and professional background has always been in technology.
Today, technology has allowed me to bring together the two worlds I love: tech and art, especially audio and video. AI has given me the tools to start experimenting in an area I had postponed for a long time. I feel that AI has allowed people who, for various reasons, never had formal training in music or video to finally express themselves creatively.
What’s the story behind your current music project?
In the previous question, I already shared part of my story, but the deeper purpose behind all of this is finally being able to materialize ideas and thoughts I’ve had throughout my life—perspectives on different aspects of the world that I always wanted to express.
Now I can give them shape and share them with anyone who wishes to listen.
How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard your music before?
In my music, I try to give special importance to strong lyrics, aiming to deliver a message that invites reflection. Today, there are many songs that focus on catchy lines with light vocabulary, but with rare exceptions, they tend to be short-lived trends because they don’t leave a message or make the listener think. They often don’t reflect situations the audience may have experienced or might face in everyday life.
I still enjoy light and fun music for certain moments, of course, but I feel that style is being repeated too much today. I try to go in a different direction—toward something that conveys meaning and leaves something more with the listener.
What is one thing you’ve learned that completely changed the way you make music?
The thing that has changed for me today—and that now allows me to express myself through music—is technological progress, especially AI. It has become an extraordinary tool for shaping ideas into lyrics and for easily “playing” with sounds until I achieve a result that feels right to me and truly materializes what I want to express.
What tools, instruments, or software are essential in your creative process?
I currently use various AIs that I combine for different purposes, along with mastering and editing software.
Which indie artist or song are you loving right now?
I listen to a lot of music every day, both indie and non-indie. From each composer or performer, there are always a few songs I connect with — usually because of the message they convey and the interesting musicality behind them. Within the indie scene, I listen quite a bit to Spanish artists like Rigoberta Bandini, Bunbury, Vetusta Morla, Viva Suecia, Amaral, and others.
How have your personal experiences influenced your music and artistic vision?
A lot. The messages I try to convey come from what I’ve lived, what I’ve learned, and my own reflections on life. I try to share my personal vision on the different themes I explore — life, love, the challenges of the modern world — and I always aim to transmit hope, which I carry with me. Everything can be better; you just have to pursue it.
What emotions or messages do you hope listeners take from your work?
Something I already described in the previous answer: to convey experiences, emotions that move deeply in many aspects such as love and heartbreak, hope, to criticize if I see something wrong that should be corrected at every level—environmental, social, and others.
What’s the most important lesson music has taught you so far?
I’m still learning and experimenting; for now, everything is a discovery.
What is a dream venue or festival you would love to perform at?
I haven’t really thought about performing live. Given the way I create music, it’s not something straightforward to consider. But there’s always room to innovate, and it’s something I plan to explore in the future.
If you could collaborate with any artist, past or present, who would it be and why?
Just like in the previous answer, I haven’t yet figured out how to approach collaborations with other artists. I’d like to, but I’d need to research and find a novel way to do it. It’s still too early for me to consider it—I’m still exploring and learning.
Where can our listeners follow and support your music? (Website,Spotify, IG, links)
At this link: https://ffm.bio/gdmz you can find my social media and channels, where you can listen to and watch all my creations.
Looking toward the future, what’s your dream for the next chapter of your musical journey?
For now, my goal is to keep learning and experimenting—both in music and in audiovisual creations—and to enjoy sharing them with everyone who wishes to enjoy them as well.
What do you hope listeners will discover about you along the way?
That they discover an interesting person who expresses things they can relate to — whether from their past, their present, or a future they can envision for themselves.
