I am a mashup artist and I have been doing mashups since 2019. I started doing mashups because I was enthralled by the idea that 2 similar songs can come together to make a better song overall. I choose to make a career out of what I do which is why I have come to University to learn audio engineering as it gives me a basic idea about audio production (something that I'm not very good at), live sound and mixing & mastering.

Martin Garrix (born Martijn Gerrard Garritsen) is a Dutch electronic music producer. He is the founder of STMPD records. He has influneced my music taste as I started to like EDM. I love the messages that he puts through his songs and his music has helped me in my times of need. I started to love electro house and future house because of him and his liveset performances.

James Hype is a UK electronic music producer and the founder of StereoHype Records. He has influenced my mashup ideas so that I can learn how to DJ using a turntable. I have started to love mashups because of James Hype.

David has established himself as arguably the world's biggest and most successful DJ of all time by fusing dance music with urban artists. By teaming up with some of the biggest names in hip hop and R&B, and reinventing their sound for the electronic dancefloors, Guetta created pop alchemy. (France Rocks | David Guetta, 2023) Also during the pandemic, Guetta’s future rave sound has become a movement in the DJ and electronic dance music communities. He says that the cultural impact of his music is what matters most to him as he continues to influence the sound of dance music. (Zarczynski, 2024)

Nicky Romero

Nicky Romero`s sound consists of a seductive blend of progressive house tinged with electro and acid – he sent a bootleg of David Guetta smash “When Love Takes Over” out into the world. The track’s online success piqued the interest of Guetta himself and in that moment Romero found his mentor and champion. They have since collaborated on multiple projects including “Metropolis” and “Wild One Two,” and in the summer of 2012 Nicky Romero accepted a residency at David Guetta’s infamous FMIF club night at Pacha/Ushuaia Ibiza.

They have managed to create their own style: the G-House sound, a real grind-up of musical influences that include suave Washington soul, the groove of Philli's funk, NYC rap slang and the Vertigo of the voguing from the first houses parties of Chicago. (Amine Edge & DANCE – Artists, 2024)
