hi!

we only remember something when it’s attached to an emotion.

emotions let us know we’re alive.

music is the language of emotion.

we love each other because of music.

i make music.

i make love.

my latest single, “FCK Yes” is available on SoundCloud.

FCK Yes (FCKNG Dark Mix)

my latest track. a grittier, heavier, darker, more emotional mix of FCK Yes. ready for the club.

FCK Yes

when we’re young, we’re told by society and those around us about what we can and can’t do, how we should be, and how to present ourselves. this track is about the struggle and price for freedom, and taking off the masks we were all told to wear.

Altitude Burn

the moment in the night, on the dance floor, where your heart and body are high. you’ve been here before. the view is another world altogether.

Eyes on Me (& You)

you lock eyes with a stranger on the dance floor. neither one of you take your gaze away. thoughts swirling. pictures forming. both of you know it’s okay to look.

bit of me

thought

my name is whatever you want it to be, but i’ve been “Tuan” since birth.

i’m an artist.

i’m a music producer and dj.

i’m a journalist and technologist.

i’m making lots of mistakes along the way.

i’m a being having a human experience.

i produce and DJ under the name “tuanfluence”.

man meets boy

i studied and played classical piano as a kid—but honestly, i hated it. mostly because i always had to “practice.” it was painful. but expressing myself through art was always a thing: drawing, painting, singing.

who knew though, that things would end up going full circle. if i didn’t practice enough, i’d always get in trouble. but now, making music is on my mind the moment i wake up and it’s on my mind when i go to sleep.

i realized that all artists, dancers, and listeners, are just people who want to be with each other and connect, as kids, and not get “in trouble.”

i hope my music moves you and makes the kid in you come out to play.

listen up

here’s a Spotify playlist featuring some favorites that moved me. maybe they can move you too. songs span the last several years and i update the play list on a regular basis with both new and old bangers from a variety of artists and sub-genres under electronic music.

i hope you enjoy the list!
