Lean

I’m not just pushing Drum & Bass into the spotlight, I’m reimagining it for a new generation. I’m not following trends, I’m setting them.

Q&A


Who or what is your musical inspiration?

My inspiration comes from the raw energy of the rave, the pulse of the underground, and the feeling of connection when a crowd moves as one. Artists like Sub Focus, Netsky, and Reaper showed me how Drum & Bass can be both soulful and explosive. But I’m also inspired by everyday life. The chaos, the calm, and everything in between. I turn emotion into rhythm, and that’s what fuels my sound.


How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?

Performing at the Global Citizen Festival would be a game-changer. It’s not just a stage but it’s a global platform with purpose. As an artist pushing Drum & Bass forward, it would give me the chance to bring this genre to a massive, diverse audience and show that high-energy music can also carry a message. It would amplify my mission: to unite people through rhythm, culture, and conscious sound. It’s more than exposure, it’s an evolution.


What would you do with $50,000?

I’d invest it directly into taking my music to the next level. Building a proper studio setup, funding independent releases, and creating visuals and live shows that truly reflect the energy of my sound. I’d also use part of it to mentor and collaborate with up-and-coming artists in the underground scene who don’t have access to resources. It’s not just about growing my career, it’s about lifting the culture with me.
