We had a chat with Pasha to get to know him better and hear about his plans for the upcoming year.
Hi there! How are you doing these days?
Hey, things are good! 10/10
How has the start of the year been for you?
It’s been really great! Much better than the beginning of 2023! Feeling inspired and riding a good wave these days.
How do you feel about leaving the old year behind, and what are you bringing from last year into this year?
I think it’s pretty chill! I’m trying to stick to my New Year’s resolutions, so we’ll see how that goes. What I’m bringing with me is more of a «yes» mindset – just trying new things and seeing where it takes me. Kind of like how I approached 2023.
For an unfamiliar listener, how would you describe yourself as an artist and the music you create?
Happy, funky, really good, and energetic.
Can you share a bit about you journey into music, how did it all start?
It started in 9th grade. A friend had a home studio, so we began making music. When I had my confimation, I used the money to buy a home studio, and since then, I’ve never stopped.
Where, what, ot who do you draw inspiration from for your songs?
I try to write about what I feel I’m going through at that moment.I attempt to capture my state of mind as accurately as possible. Sometimes, I just want to create something silly and have fun with it. I draw a lot of inspiration from other artist – listening to a cool wat of writing, vocal techniques, and the sound they use. I take those elements and bring them into my world.
Do you have any rituals or specific craving when you’re making music?
Snus.
What is your ultimate dreamcollab?
Smino, Kaytranda, Kenny Beats, Mike Dean.
How has it been to share such a personal song like «lowki», and what has the response been like?
It was very scary. But the scariest part was sharing on Insta that this is a personal song. I feel lik in music, you can say the most personal things, but sharing it on social media can feel almost to close. The response has been positive. Many have said they missed that side of me, so there will be more personal music coming up.
What do you do when you’re not making music?
The usual stuff. Hang out with friends or just stay at home and enjoy relaxing.
What’s the best ting you’ve experienced in your music career so far, and do you have any dreams or goals for the future?
A lot!! Playing in the USA, all the festivals I’ve performed at, hearing my music in games and movies. The best of all is the concerts. Many dreams and goals ahead; now it’s just about finishing this project I’m working on, and we’ll see where it takes us.
You posted on Instagram that 2024 will be crazier than before, what can we expect from Pasha In 2024? Do you have any cool plans for the near future you’d like to share with us?
A lot of cool stuff that I’m not brave enough to share! It feels like you jinx it if you talk about it. But there’s an album coming, that’s what I can say.
