He initially produced songs in the trance genre under the name "DNS Project", but then moved to his current house genre.[2] He is influenced by classical composers such as German composer Hans Zimmer and John Williams, as well as electronic artists such as Daft Punk, and his songs incorporate many elements. After creating progressive house songs, he sent some demos to Avicii's LE7ELS label, but they were not well received at first. However, he did not give up and continued to send songs, and he sent a song called "April", which finally became a hit with Avicii and led to a contract with "LE7ELS".
