Who is behind the A N K A ?

 Listen/Download February 27, 2016 at 8:30 pm.

Today you will get to know A N K A who is bassed out of Philippines, Korea & New Zealand… simultaneously!

A N K A has been upping the game since the start.  Seemingly months ago, this producer had talent, but wasn’t getting found. A N K A is certainly being found now, as a recent repost by Josh Pan, sends their plays and followers soaring up. Surely this new-found love from hundreds of fans will help bring new levels to A N K A’s creativity, as high leveled as that already is.

We had a chance to interview A N K A exclusively, so we hope you enjoy reading by scrolling down below.

Question: Summing up 2015, in a musical nutshell what did music do for you and where did it take you?

Answer: So far my music has had a humbling response such as being featured on Fete’s “1am” compilation, interviews such as this, collabs etc.… But it was actually more studies that did it for me. My music would never be what it is if it wasn’t for my tutors so a massive shout out to Vision College! (School of Music)

Question: Let us step in your shoes for a day. What’s for breakfast, what’s your daily routine, and when is music involved?

Answer: well, I’m not really a breakfast person so I usually jump straight to brunch later in the day and just carb load for days haha. Usually it consists of waking up, shower and straight to work. Music usually starts in the evenings and frequently continues into the next morning. Crash at like 3-4 am then repeat lol. It seriously has ruined my body clock but sometimes creativity just doesn’t sleep when you want to.

Question: We are giving you a hot air balloon filled with $50,000 you MUST spend to travel the world for 324 hours. What do you choose to do and where to you go?

 

Answer: Bruh I’ll extend that balloon, pick up the homies from Phuture Collective, Fete, Treehouse Vibes & Bounce Above then tour from New Zealand to the US and Everywhere in between. SQUAD GOALS haha

Question: Any projects coming up that we should know of?

Answer:  I Have an E.P on the way, won’t tell you when though. Just be prepared when it drops fam 😉

Question: What are your goals, musically, for 2016?

Answer: I have many lol but one of them is hopefully to pioneer a new style? currently I’m trying my own lil style called “10bounce”. It’s more a structural concept in dropping one Idea in the beginning and then introducing a brand new idea in the next. To me it’s about switching up the vibe and keeping my audience engaged. If my audience skip my music in the next 30 – 50 seconds, then to me I’ve failed. I guess my vision with 10bounce Is that people would feel 10 different feelings when they hear it =D.  Most importantly though my general goal would be to turn my passion as a musician into a career and be able to meet well established artists / producers / composers etc. Would love to gain as much knowledge as I can to be better at what I do.

Question: How do you make money if you do?

Answer: I work in retail, purely because I enjoy fashion and I love talking to people. So, to be able to converse the whole day is actually pretty fun. I mean, you discover some interesting characters haha but you also meet some incredibly talented people. So a job like that with dope gears to sell and having some Phuture Collective music playing in store is AWESOME

Question: When was the moment you decided that producing was right for you?

Answer: It was about 6 months ago during my second year of studies. Like, years ago I always used to muck around on FL Studio, but I committed to it in August 2015 and kept moving forward since. One of the best decision I’ve ever made and it is something I’ll continue to commit to for the rest of my days.
