Multi-talented DJ and producer Tanya Andros from Cafe De Anatolia took some time to chat with us and told us more about what lies ahead for her in this exciting new year.
Check out the full interview below!
Tell us more about yourself & your music career?
I am a music producer and live performer from Kyiv, Ukraine. I produce Melodic House and Trance music.
I like to combine electronic dance music with tender live piano performance. I prefer to combine sounds of nature and classical instruments in my music production, because I also love orchestral music too.
During the early years I was closely connected with music. I mastered piano at music school. When I was 17 years old I started to compose music for Ukrainian pop bands. One of my song called “You Are” was nominated for Eurovision 2009 music contest. After that I had some pause in my music career as a composer. Now I can show myself like an artist. I produce music more consciously because I had great experience before. Main message for people which I want to show with my music is to feel beauty in everything and to be happy now.
Music is my language to speak with everybody.

Describe how music is important to society?

Where and when is your next performance?
Since I’m based in Mexico right now, I’ll have a performance in Tulum, Ahau on New Year’s Eve, then I’ll travel to Dubai in April, where I’m set to perform in Wane.
What’s the best piece of advice another musician ever gave you?
Always keep going and be yourself in music with your very own style.
Do you have any advice for aspiring musicians?
They need to study a lot and work harder. It is long way but at the end they’ll enjoy it.
