What would you change about yourself if you could?
Freaq - I would say I’m a little bit of an over thicker so maybe working on ways not to over think things people say so much.
Quincy - I would say to maybe slow down and appreciate things a little more, my mind works at 100mph and my life is run at 120%, so eventually learning how to slow down and relax from time to time is definitely something I’m working on.

What is your proudest accomplishment?
Freaq - I think my proudest moment was supporting two of the biggest names in the Hard Dance scene, Cally & Shocker, who I’ve listened to from a young age, it was a very surreal moment for me.
Quincy - I think building Freaquincy as a whole has been my biggest achievement, working on branding, building a small but amazing loyal fan base, obtaining gigs, being apart of Pure West Radio, supporting huge names like Scott Mills, RKSwitch, Artful Dodgers, Cally & Shocker, Jakka-B and so many more, it’s been a privilege and an amazing experience building and sharing it all with my best friend too.
Who is the most famous person you've met?
Freaq - I’ve been lucky enough to meet Martin Garrix on a few occasions, firstly at Creamfields 2021 after his closing set, but most notably I met him after his set Wet Republic in Las Vegas and got to spend 10 minutes or so chatting with him.
Quincy - I think the most famous person I’ve ever met has to be Martin Garrix after his set at Creamfields 2021.
One thing people might be surprised to know about you?
Freaq - I actually really enjoy cooking when I have the time, a pretty good cook to if I do say so myself.
Quincy - Deeper responses, but I actually, ironically playing to a crowd every weekend, have a lot of trouble with anxiety, due to a combination of ADHD & traits of ASD, my mind works on overload 24/7. Working with music, gigs, crowds and a lot of the amazing people at Pure West Radio has really helped, and I'd definitely encourage anyone to tackle things head on and always pursue your dreams and goals, as scary as they might be.
