It’s a life-altering adventure that has broadened my understanding of music’s transformative potential and its capacity to bridge cultural divides.”

SCOPETANI is confident and eager to keep venturing into uncharted musical territory in the years to come. “I’m interested to see where the combination of EDM and Afro House leads me since I think it has a lot of untapped potential.
