What was your first electronic music event?

Porter Robinson at the Park at the Park San Diego in 2012!

What/who influenced you to attend your first event?

My best friend at the time started getting me into electronic music with Pretty Lights and Zeds Dead. She told me about this cool little event at Petco Park and said I had to come. The rest has been history.

What is one moment from an event that was special and why?

My first Life is Beautiful! Not only was it the first festival that I have ever attended but it is one that I decided to do on my own. I found a Reddit group prior to going to see exactly what I was getting into; little did I know that the friends I would meet from that group would turn into some of the best friends I’ve ever had!

What is your favorite festival or event?

Life is Beautiful

What do you feel your “Identity” is in the electronic music community?
