The Creed had a chat with Zedion to ask a few questions:

T.C: When did you first get interested in electronic music?

Zedion:  When i was going into grade 10, before that, I actually never looked into electronic music at all, and I didn’t pay any attention to the genre either. I knew there was some kind of electronic music, but i never really knew what t it was, I only listened to pop but i always loved futuristic and techno stuff, so even today I’m surprised that I was never into electronic music.

T.C: Who or what go you interested in this genre of music?

Zedion: In the summer going into grade. 10, when I was at my cousin’s place, he was talking to me about dubstep and that he really liked it. It got me interested too, so when i went on the computer, I went on youtube and searched up “how to make dubstep,” and went on from there.

T.C: Do you have any inspirations in the EDM scene?

Zedion: My biggest inspiration used to be deadmau5, who’s canadian, and a not so famous (also canadian) producer named Tristam. However in the last year he became a lot more known. Now, after looking into the edm scene, you discover so many more dj/producers out there, many or most of them either have a unique style, or have an amazing phylosophical background, or are actually really nice people, and it’s hard to not like them all

T.C: Where do you see yourself in the future with this?

Zedion: Im beginning to learn to DJ, so when I become proficient with my equipment I hope to DJ at occasions whenever possible, such as dances, fairs.
