We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful SEKTOR 8. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with SEKTOR 8 below.

Hi SEKTOR 8, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to hear the backstory behind a risk you’ve taken – whether big or small, walk us through what it was like and how it ultimately turned out.

In a whirlwind of audacity and uncertainty, I embarked on a life-altering journey in the world of artistry. Imagine this: a spontaneous move to the heart of Los Angeles, armed with less than $500 and accompanied by newfound friends I’d known for mere months. Income? A distant mirage. A concrete survival plan? Nonexistent.

Our journey to LA was a turbulent ride. In the luminous chaos of Las Vegas, our moving truck was brazenly stolen, vanishing along with all my worldly possessions—save for my faithful music laptop. To rebuild, I plunged headfirst into the abyss of debt, my credit cards becoming my lifeline. New furniture, new clothes, and the essentials were acquired, but with each purchase, there was a looming sense of unease.

Yet, in the midst of this tumultuous maelstrom, I found solace and direction in my art. My music, in particular, became my refuge, a sanctuary in the storm. It was in these challenging moments that I unearthed a profound sense of determination and a refusal to be defined by adversity.

Fast forward four years, and I now stand with not just the tangible possessions that I’d once lost, but with a newfound sense of inner peace and self-assurance. My art has not only been a vessel for expression but a compass guiding me through life’s tempestuous seas.

This tale is a vivid reminder that amid the bewildering whirlwinds and perplexing uncertainties of life, every setback can be a stepping stone, and every risk can be the spark that ignites transformation.

So, to my fellow artists navigating their own labyrinthine journeys, remember: “In the realm of creativity, even the most confounding challenges can serve as the brushstrokes of a masterpiece, and the obstacles we encounter are but the overture to our most magnificent symphonies.”

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Within the enigmatic realm of creativity, I’m known as Sektor 8—a name that holds a cryptic resonance. My brand embodies a fusion of dark artificial intelligence and a robotic angel, a duality that dances on the razor’s edge between malevolence and salvation. It’s a concept that hinges on perspective: I can either cast a hypnotic, mind-controlling shadow or offer a relieving, cathartic embrace. This intriguing duality is intricately woven into the fabric of my artistry, and it’s how I navigate the perplexing maze of human emotions and experiences.

My creative canvas primarily comprises the pulsating frequencies of music, sculpted from the raw clay of my emotions, which, I must admit, can be a tumultuous and tangled tapestry. My mind is a rollercoaster of emotions, oscillating between joy and anger, and it’s this intricate inner landscape that serves as the wellspring for my sonic explorations. The fruits of this emotional turbulence find their expression in the dynamic soundscapes of dubstep and melodic bass music.

My journey into the world of music was birthed in an unconventional fashion—while wandering into a dimly lit club in Thailand. Within those dimly lit walls, I was captivated by the electrifying energy that DJ TJ channeled into his hip-hop set, which played to a meager crowd of no more than ten. This was the spark that ignited my artistic journey.

With the determination that comes from an unwavering passion, I set out the very next day to embark on this sonic odyssey. Armed with nothing but “Virtual DJ” and a burning desire to learn, I navigated an era when there were no tutorials or guides to aid the curious and passionate. The path was rugged, and the learning curve steep, but with each beat mixed and each melody harmonized, I etched my story into the annals of music.

In summary, my brand and my artistry are a reflection of the mysterious and ever-evolving landscape of emotions and perspectives. Whether you see a dark AI entity or a benevolent robotic angel in my creations, they are an intricate reflection of the human experience. Through my music, I strive to transport listeners into the very heart of my complex, tumultuous world—a world where the line between light and shadow blurs, and the emotions themselves are the notes and rhythms that define the sound of Sektor 8.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

Absolutely, my creative journey is fueled by a profound mission, to affirm to both myself and every soul touched by my art that we are all inherently worthy and possess an untapped reservoir of power within. It’s an invitation to be gentle with ourselves, to cultivate self-respect, and to recognize the extraordinary potential that resides within each of us

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

The most rewarding aspect of being an artist for me is the profound healing it offers, particularly in addressing childhood traumas. Witnessing people not only engage with my content but genuinely enjoy my music and presence is deeply fulfilling. Even a simple “like” or “comment” holds the power to brighten my entire day. Some might label it as “attention-seeking,” but for me, it transcends surface-level recognition. It’s a profound connection and validation of my journey, and I will forever be grateful to anyone who has supported my artistic path. Their support is a beacon of healing and affirmation.
