About WAPO Jije

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was growing up, my big brother had a lot of musical influence on me. But at that time, I wasn't aware that I was going to turn out to be a music lover and a producer. He would play jams from the likes of Bob James, John Coltrane, and so on. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Euphonik, Giggs Superstar, Ricardo da Costa, Soul Candi: Electro Candi 1 (DJ Mix) Various Artists, Soul Candi Presents : Soul Candi Classics, Vol. 1 These compilations had a greater impact on my upbringing, especially when I decided I wanted to be a house music producer. All this happened through a friend I met in high school in the early 2002s; having him introduce me to these was a game changer Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Hannibal Barca” This song was inspired by a deep house track by Urban Soul titled "What Do I Gotta Do?" (Eric Kupper Club Mix). This is just an amazingly great classic house music track, it takes you down memory lane, making you reminisce about good times in life. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? The most memorable moment in my career was being signed by Stay True Sounds. I was afraid at first to submit a demo to the label, but I had to overcome my fear of being rejected, so I took a chance, and an amazing thing happened: they loved my music. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? My biggest thing on my bucket list, is to reach out to the world with my music and touch broken souls and those who need peace and healing in their lives. Go around the world performing my music to them and also meet the biggest guys in house music.
