Formula Indie Sessions : Interview with Crypto-city
What is your earliest memory connected to music?
I was in fifth grade in elementary school when I first remember being deeply moved by music. It amazed me that sound alone could create images and feelings that stayed with me long after the song ended.
How did your passion for creating music begin?
After my mom and my best friend’s mother passed away, I began creating music as a tribute to both of them. Making music helped me process the loss and gave me and my friend a way to keep moving forward with strength and purpose.
What is the story behind your current music project?
My current projects focus on blending cinematic elements with electronic energy. I create tracks that feel like journeys into new worlds, filled with emotion, mystery, and futuristic storytelling.
How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard your music before?
My sound is cinematic, emotional, and expressive. It mixes electronic elements with classical influence, creating atmospheres that can feel dark, uplifting, powerful, or deeply reflective.
What is one thing you have learned that completely changed the way you make music?
Learning how sound design shapes emotion transformed everything for me. Even the smallest details in texture, layering, and movement can change the entire feeling of a song.
What tools, instruments, or software are essential in your creative process?
My sampled voice is used in every track, along with synthetic tools, digital audio workstations, and virtual instruments.
Which indie artist or song are you loving right now?
I am currently inspired by Alan Walker, FatRat, and Katy Perry. Their sound choices and emotional energy always motivate me to create more.
How have your personal experiences influenced your music and artistic vision?
Life experiences, especially loss and healing, have shaped both my sound and my vision. Music became a way for me to express emotions that are difficult to put into words, and that influence continues in everything I create.
What emotions or messages do you hope listeners take from your work?
I hope my music transports people into new emotional spaces. Sometimes the goal is empowerment, sometimes reflection, and sometimes pure energy. Most of all, I want listeners to feel something real.
What is the most important lesson music has taught you so far?
Music has taught me that connection is everything. A single melody can reach someone in a way that words cannot, and that reminder keeps me creating with intention.
What is a dream venue or festival you would love to perform at?
I would love to do a virtual set under a geodesic dome on a cool desert night. The stars above and the music below would create the perfect immersive experience.
If you could collaborate with any artist, past or present, who would it be and why?
I would love to collaborate with Hans Zimmer for his emotional storytelling or Daft Punk for their creativity and innovation. Both have inspired me to go beyond expectations in my own work.
Where can listeners follow and support your music?
Listeners can reach me at https:://music.crypto-city.com
Looking toward the future, what is your dream for the next chapter of your musical journey?
My dream is to build immersive visual and musical experiences that reach people all around the world. I want to continue developing my sound and creating projects that feel like stepping into another world.
What do you hope listeners will discover about you along the way?
I hope they discover the heart, intention, and emotion I put into every track. Music is my way of connecting with people, and I hope they feel that connection with each listen.
