Formula Indie Sessions – Interview with Chloe
1. What is your earliest memory connected to music?
My earliest memory connected to music goes back to high school. I remember watching the Tomorrowland 2012 aftermovie with my best friend and becoming completely obsessed with it. There was something magical about the atmosphere, the music, the emotions, and the way people from all over the world came together. That experience stayed with me and planted the first seed of what would eventually become my musical journey.
2. How did your passion for creating music begin?
My passion for creating music started from my love for electronic music. At one point, I remember asking myself, ‘Why don’t I dedicate my life to this?’ From that moment on, my decision never changed. Since then, I have spent years working on my craft, developing my sound, and pursuing my dream of building a career in music.
3. What’s the story behind your current music project?
The story behind my project is simple: I want to connect what I feel with the people who listen to my music. Music has always been a way for me to express emotions that are difficult to put into words. My goal is to create something meaningful that resonates with others while doing what I truly love.
4. How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard your music before?
I would describe my sound as melodic, deep, emotional, and atmospheric. I want listeners to feel immersed in every moment of a track. I’m drawn to music that feels epic, emotional, and powerful, while still maintaining a deep and intimate connection with the listener.
5. What is one thing you’ve learned that completely changed the way you make music?
One lesson that completely changed my approach to music production is that less is more. As producers, it’s easy to overcomplicate things, but I’ve learned that simplicity often creates the strongest emotional impact. Today, I focus on giving every element a purpose instead of filling a track with unnecessary sounds.
6. What tools, instruments, or software are essential in your creative process?
Ableton Live is without a doubt the most important tool in my creative process. It allows me to transform ideas and emotions into music. However, beyond software and equipment, the most essential element is having a clear emotional vision. Understanding what I want to express and making people feel something through my music is what truly drives my creative process.
7. Which indie artist or song are you loving right now?
Right now, I’m really enjoying artists like Nu Aspect and Small Town Kid. I’m always looking for new music and new influences within the electronic music scene. I’m especially inspired by artists who can transmit real emotions through melodic and deep sounds, something I also try to reflect in my own music. I believe you should never stop discovering music, because there is always something
new to learn and incorporate into your own artistic vision.
8. How have your personal experiences influenced your music and artistic vision?
My personal experiences have influenced my music in every possible way. They are the fuel behind my creativity. Every challenge, success, emotion, and lesson I’ve experienced has shaped my artistic vision and helped me connect more deeply with the music I create.
9. What emotions or messages do you hope listeners take from your work?
I don’t try to force a specific message. Instead, I hope listeners find their own meaning in my music. If my songs can help someone get through a difficult moment, feel inspired, or simply escape from everyday life for a few minutes, then I’ve achieved something meaningful. Receiving a message from someone saying that my music helped them would be one of the greatest rewards I could imagine.
10. What’s the most important lesson music has taught you so far?
The most important lesson music has taught me is to never give up. Progress is not always visible, and sometimes the road ahead can feel uncertain, but consistency, patience, and passion always matter. The key is to keep creating and keep believing in your vision.
11. What is a dream venue or festival you would love to perform at?
One day, I would love to perform at iconic events such as Tomorrowland, EDC, and Red Rocks. These venues represent some of the most inspiring experiences in electronic music, bringing together people from all over the world through a shared passion. Performing on those stages is a dream I work toward every day.
12. If you could collaborate with any artist, past or present, who would it be and why?
I would love to collaborate with Post Malone. While he is not known primarily for deep house music, he has always been one of my biggest inspirations as an artist. His songwriting, authenticity, and ability to connect emotionally with listeners are incredible. I think combining his emotional storytelling with my melodic and deep electronic sound could create something truly unique.
13. Where can our listeners follow and support your music?
Listeners can follow my journey and support my music through Instagram (@chhloe_music), TikTok (@chhloe_music), and Spotify (Chloe). I’m always grateful for everyone who takes the time to listen, follow, and be part of this journey.
14. Looking toward the future, what’s your dream for the next chapter of your musical journey?
My goal for the next chapter is to continue growing as both an artist and a person. I would love to release music on labels such as Selected, Kontor Records, and Anjunadeep, while also performing more regularly and sharing my music with audiences around the world. Ultimately, I want to take my project to Europe and continue building meaningful connections through music on a global scale.
15. What do you hope listeners will discover about you along the way?
I hope people discover that behind Chloe there is someone who never stopped believing in his dreams. Someone who has spent years building a path in music and who strives to transmit real emotions through every song. I would like listeners to feel that they are part of this journey and that they can find companionship, inspiration, or simply a moment to disconnect and feel through my music. At the end of the day, genuine human connection will always be the most important thing to me.
