Hello. Please present yourself.
My name is Andrew LaFleur, better
known as Atragun in the music
world. I am DJ and Producer from
the United States of America.
Your first meeting with music,
what kind of music was it?
My first meeting with music was
when I was about six years of age.
I was signed up for piano lessons.
I initially did not care for it, but after
gaining some skill, I became
obsessed with it. This then led to
my passion for classical music at
the time. I remember before
venturing into the electronic
world, wanting to be a classical
music composer and conductor.
How long have you been
producing records? What do you
prefer more DJing or producing?
I have been producing since 2008
in Logic (although I did experiment
with Garageband for a bit in 2006).
That is a very tough questions, it
depends on my mood and the
situation in my life. I guess
if I had to pick just one,
I’d pick producing as it
tends to be in a more
relaxed environment.
What is music to
you?
To me music is
something that is
truly beautiful. It is
something that
keeps many of us
going (myself
included) in life. It is a
concept that can
bring people
together in various
ways.
Your favorite
record of all the
time. Why is it
your favorite
record?
I honestly don’t
know if I could
answer this one
fully, as I have
MANY records that
