I don’t know about you, but sometimes I find it nice to sit back and relax to some chill music over a “four-on-the-floor” banger. You know, music that reminds you of dreams, that takes you to a different place.
One artist who makes such music is Froogle.
He’s had tracks on popular YouTube channels like Chill Nation and MA Music, and has just launched a remix competition for his latest cover of Justin Bieber’s track Mark My Words, which you can enter here.
I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did.
