We were lucky to catch up with Dzasko recently and have shared our conversation below.

Dzasko, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Can you talk to us about how you learned to do what you do?

I’ve been exposed to music since an early age. My Grandfather used to be a Guitar player in the late 50s in Peru, he mostly played Boleros, Criolla, Folk, and Flamenco.

So since an early age, I’ve knew where I should be heading.

Started taking up a few instruments at 10 years old but it wasn’t until I was 14th that I received an old busted HP laptop from my parents and discovered music productions with software like Mixcraft and FL Studio. I remember I modded my laptop and was able through many adapters to record signal from my old Yamaha bass to my laptop.

Until now I don’t know how I’ve managed to do that, I recall watching a youtube video and following the instructions.

During my teenage years, I was immersed in the electronic dance scene in Lima and started working with software emulation of synthesizers and expanding my sound library.

I was every day on ideas until I released my first song ever at 17 years old and started Djing in local clubs.

from there on it was non-stop.

Dzasko, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

My name is Diego Zevallos, I’m originally from Lima – Peru. I’m a music producer and I perform my music under the name of DZASKO.

I got into the industry mostly by accident, I knew early on that I wanted to do something related to “Sound” but starting putting out edm songs when I was very young and the direct effect was being invited to perform as a DJ and pretty much it grew from there until the point where I right now perform live with a backing band.

So it’s really exciting and challenging for me to do live Electronic music. I was used to performing solo, but there’s something more to connecting with musicians on stage, it’s a feeling that it’s weird to describe, feels like being standing in a moving train, and we are trying to keep balance supporting each other.

I’m really proud that I’m able to keep doing music.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

the whole creation process and presenting the work to an audience.

What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?
