1. What makes a DWIG music production different from all the rest?
I don’t know if there are great differences in my music productions in comparison to others, I just use my laptop and some analog stuff for recording and producing my music. But for sure, I try to put my personal thoughts and feelings into my music, which hopefully almost everybody who makes music also does…. in other words making music with passion.
2. Which influences have been most important for you musically?
I think there were a lot of influences from a lot of directions, because music always had a strong connection to my life. This began at my parent’s house, up to the point where I am now. To make a statement about the most important influences I would say there are a thousand small but very important ones.
3. What would surprise us about Dwig?
That he is giving an interview.
4. Where would you love to have your music played?
Everywhere, if i am not in the room, unless I am the DJ.
