We managed to catch up with him to find out about his first floating festival experience last year in Croatia and to see what he was most looking forward to this time round before he set sail.

Last year you came on your first The Yacht Week in Croatia. What are your favourite memories from that week?

I spent a large portion of my childhood living on boats and cruising up and down the east coast of America. I remember looking at magazines and seeing circle rafts in tropical destinations and just dreaming about how amazing that would be. I have to say that DJing in the center of a circle raft was a life dream come true and something I'll never forget. Of course, with anything like this, its the people that you meet that you'll remember forever though.

Your tracks create a perfect vibe for the summer. What inspires your sound?

I think the time I've spent in/on/around the ocean has been a huge influence on how I listen to and create music. I always hear music cinematically, as the soundtrack to some imaginary scene in my life, and often my dreams float to summertime and everything that comes along with that!

This could get nerdy quickly if I went down my racing rabbit hole, but I'll keep it simple. A big beach towel comes in handy 5 times a day. 30SPF sunscreen cause skincare is important. And of course some Gosling's rum for dark & stormies.

We play as a 6 piece a lot of the time when we play festival shows. I'm playing guitar, keys, and singing. We have bass, keyboards, drums, hand percussion etc. A lot of my live members are quite versatile and so there's a lot of harmonies and rotating around. I love playing live so much because we can stretch our legs and really play Goldroom's full catalog. There's a lot of stuff I've written that's really just not for the dance floor, so playing fully live lets me explore everything I've written.
