Kristian Nairn describes how he first got into DJing, revealing a long history of music stemming from his early childhood:
“I’ve been playing and singing since I was 3 years old , so I honestly can’t remember I time when music and / or performance weren’t a part of my life. I was a pretty introverted kid and teenager and I found my escape and emotion outlet and expression in music. I remember watching DJs in clubs and being blown away by the reaction they got and confidence they seemed to have. I was that kid who would drag his friends to his bedroom as say ” listen to this piece of music ( maybe only 10 secs ) ” and I would want them to hear why I was so excited. So I guess I get to do that now on a bigger scale and thankfully more successfully than my friends ever reacted lol.“
He also talks about how he manages to juggle his acting and music careers so seamlessly:
“Honestly, it’s tough sometimes to keep everything in the air. Recently it’s thanks to Red Bull tropical and a case full of vitamin supplement , which I’m positive don’t do any good haha. I think it’s so important not to half ass anything. Always make sure you are proud of your work and not have the “that’ll do ” mentality.”Nairn reveals the future of his music project, commenting that he has nearly an album completed:
“Well, I have nearly an albums worth of material ready to go. I’m pacing the releases though, as I said earlier , things need to be right, and I want to do a little more work on a few of the tracks. Some More collaborations and some of the other tracks go down a slightly different path, and veer more into progressive and a little electro too. Exciting times.”Lastly, Nairn recounts a fan interaction at one of his shows that left an impression on him, describing a Game Of Thrones fans who attended his concert in an awesome costume:
“Drag Hodor was the one that sticks out in my mind. Haha. Very tall , awesome girl dressed in full rabbit furs complete with battle scars and everything. Wonderful stuff.“
