EDM Sauce: How did you spread the word about your entry?
Kian Sang: I didn’t actually have to spread the word at all since Avicii himself was the one selecting the finalists. When I found out I had got picked I got a bunch of support from people that I didn’t know and also huge support from my friends as well.
EDM Sauce: What program did you use for the melody?
Kian Sang: I made the melody in FL Studio.
EDM Sauce: How long have you been producing music?
Kian Sang: It’s hard to pinpoint exactly when it began since I’ve been doing music almost my whole life. I started playing guitar at a young age and then I moved on to the piano and started writing a bunch of songs. But it wasn’t until about a year ago when I was introduced to Music Production software that I really started producing music.
EDM Sauce: What's next for you?
Kian Sang: I’m going to keep creating the music that I love and keep moving forward!
