Last week I had the wonderful opportunity to speak with one of my favorite music marvels! Under his gracious hospitality, the man behind the rapturous rhythm, Mix Chopin agreed to spend a little quality time in an interview and answer some of the questions I’m sure were brewing in people’s minds! (at least my mind)

FMM: Your music gives listeners a feel that is nothing short of inspiring, but what inspires you to create such melodies?

Chopin: It’s as simple as hearing the birds singing on a sunny morning, the sound of the ocean waves, or the sunset on a cloudy horizon…     and girls.

FMM: What do you think are your biggest obstacles as a music producer?

Chopin: To get Kylie Minogue to call me back… haha

Honestly, music production has endless possibilities to me, it’s limitless in a sense.  I started producing to make music just for the love of it.  I don’t see production having too many obstacles.

FMM: What is your opinion of success? How would you define it?

Chopin: Some people might say success is selling gold records and owning rare swanky sports cars, but to me success is just to keep making music that keeps people dancing.

FMM: What has been your biggest success moment so far?

Chopin: Looking into a crowd of 1000

FMM: Besides mixing tunes, what other hobbies/activities do you enjoy partaking in?

Chopin: Collecting records.

FMM: If you had the chance to go on tour with any other DJ in the world, who would you pick and why?

Chopin: This is a hard question because there’s so many people I would love to tour with.  A-trak? SebastiAn?

FMM: When you were a youngin’, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Chopin: A Rock Star

FMM: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Chopin: In my studio with a margarita

FMM: Have you always liked the frenchhouse/nu-disco genre?

Chopin: Yes, I love French House and most French music actually.

FMM: So you have a natural talent in instruments, but what made you want to take that talent electronically?

Chopin: When I was a kid, I always wanted to make crazy noises and sounds.  I was constantly trying to figure out how music was put together.  Nowadays, it’s easier to do a lot of it electronically because of all the advances in technology.

FMM: What are your ambitions for Mix Chopin?

Chopin: I want to tour all around the world and boogie down with people in every city.

FMM: What or who has been your greatest influence for your talents?

Chopin: Too many to pick from…but Quincy Jones is definitely up there.

FMM: In your opinion, what is the perfect day?

Chopin: Dinner in Paris with a lovely one. 

FMM: Last question, If you time traveled back to 1975, where’s the first place you would go?

Chopin: The record store
