In this interview I chat with James Wiltshire - one half of Grammy nominated and chart-topping dance duo Freemasons, and boss of @F9Audio. We talk about how to succeed in the music industry, how to come up with ideas, how to develop your signature sound, how to take a loop into a full song, how to deal with anxiety and even the meaning of life!
