1. Introduce Yourself to the Casawi Community: What drives you? What's your artistic vision, and what sets you apart from the crowd?

Wassup! My name is Antonio, I'm a Music Producer and DJ from Naples. I'm simply driven by vibes that surrounds me, finding new stimuli to transform into music which allows me to share my emotions with anyone who can treasure it and take inspiration from it.

2. City Inspirations: How has your city influenced your artistic path? Share how its streets, culture, and energy have molded your work.

Naples has an immense artistic heritage. I was instantly drawn to music, and from there, I began to take inspiration from every little thing that was transmitted by the streets and people. Seeing so many people face challenging life situations every day without giving up has always encouraged me to work more on myself and my career to overcome any obstacles and achieve my goals.

3. Creative Process: What fuels your creativity? Whether it's a ritual, a muse, or a moment of clarity, we're keen to learn.

My creative process is something I don't try to force. Instead, I let it lead me and see what story it can tell. I want the final result to be as true as possible, so my work is always done without much thought. I'm prepared to develop an idea and see where it will take me. Discovering new things and sounds is my main inspiration, but watching producers' videos on YouTube works too.

4. City Lifestyle and Art: How the places you lived influenced your career and work?

Growing up in a province of Naples made it hard for me to pursue my passion and face my peers. I had to learn the basics of my work by myself and worked so hard to get some gigs, but my little town is a significant part of my identity and I'm deeply attached to it.

5. Latest or Upcoming Projects: Give us a glimpse into your current endeavors and what lies ahead on your creative journey.

I recently dropped my first Amapiano single “OUTSIDE” and five edits on SoundCloud. I'll release a new edit pack and new singles on digital stores. I'm trying to make new connections in Italy and overseas, and I've already found a lot of cool people to work with. I’m teasing all my unreleased tunes in my gigs, so I can’t wait to share everything with y'all!
