Surf Mesa Facts
- Inspired by his father, a jazz saxophonist, Surf Mesa had shown a heavy inclination towards music from a very young age. By the time he had reached the 3rd grade, he had already started making music after he was introduced to FL Studio, a digital audio workstation (DAW) developed by the Belgian company Image-Line that features a graphical user interface with a pattern-based music sequencer, by his older brother. He had continued to teach himself further about music production via tutorials on YouTube.
- In high school, he had chosen ‘Surf Mesa’ as his stage name and had started a musical project by the same name through which he would release his music on the SoundCloud platform.
- After his high school graduation, he had planned to move to Arizona to study computer science at a technology school. However, he had broken a leg in a freak accident which had left him bed-ridden for a few months. During this time, he had devoted himself completely to music production and further honing his skills in the field.
- Realizing the potential for budding musicians to grow in Los Angeles, he had moved to the city in 2018. He had released his debut single titled Taken Away in 2019 and had released his debut EP, titled Bedroom, in April that year under the ‘Surf Mesa’ label.
- The success of his breakthrough single ILY (I Love You Baby) later that year had seen him get signed up by both Astralwerks and Universal.
