He was always interested in music and musical instruments as a kid. He's always loved upbeat and syrupy melodies in music. Tobu doesn't have any musical education, however, over time, self-taught Latvian has found his way to understand, which piano keys and combinations sound good together and that has helped him a lot with improvising and coming up with his own melodies. He was heavely inspired by Avicii and deadmau5 back at that time, when he started to make his own music.
