Hello and thank you for joining us! Could you provide us with an insight on the main inspirations/influences that led to your chosen career pathway in music?

“Hello, and thank you so much for having me! It’s truly a pleasure to be here. My journey in music began very early. I started playing the violin as a child, and it quickly became a core part of my life. My family was incredibly supportive, encouraging me to immerse myself in musical studies, competitions, and education. This strong foundation gave me the discipline and passion to pursue music at a high level. Switching to electronic music came from a deep desire to expand my creative boundaries and express myself in a way that felt fully authentic. While I cherish my classical training, I wanted to blend that world with modern sounds, creating a unique fusion of organic and electronic elements. Music, for me, is about connection and storytelling, and electronic music provided the canvas to share my journey with a broader audience.”

With versatility a key aspect in the dance scene, we would like to know the origin of your style of play, as well as your signature sound came to be?

“Versatility has always been a cornerstone of my musical journey. My style of play and signature sound are deeply rooted in my classical background as a violinist, which laid the foundation for my technical skills and emotional expression. Over time, I began exploring electronic music and fell in love with its limitless potential for innovation and storytelling. My sound emerged as a fusion of melodic, organic, and progressive house, seamlessly woven with the emotional depth of live violin. I also incorporate live looping and effects, which allow me to create an immersive, one-of-a-kind live experience. The result is music that feels dynamic and alive—sometimes uplifting and euphoric, other times introspective and cinematic. The goal was always to bring something unique to the dance scene, blending classical instrumentation with electronic music to create moments that touch the soul while still making people want to move. This duality is what defines my sound and connects me to my audience.”

Bringing the heat with each of your productions, could you talk us through the main thought process behind each, as well as the significance in the use of raw, intricate and powerful instrumentation?

“Thank you! When it comes to my productions, I always start with an emotional intention—a story or a feeling I want to convey. My classical training plays a big role in shaping my thought process. I often begin by composing a melody on the violin or piano, which serves as the heart of the track. From there, I build layers of instrumentation, crafting a balance between organic and electronic elements. Raw and intricate instrumentation is key for me because it allows the music to feel deeply human and alive. Whether it’s a soaring violin phrase, lush string harmonies, or textured percussion, I aim to create a sense of depth and emotion that connects with the listener on a visceral level. Each production is like a journey—merging my classical roots with the modern edge of electronic music to create something that resonates emotionally while keeping people moving.”

Garnering support from elite acts, as well as releasing music under the most well-renowned of labels, we would like to know the overall feel behind such recognition, and how this helps in your ascendancy as time progresses?

“Thank you—it’s truly humbling and exciting. Moments like these are incredible affirmations of the hard work and passion I’ve poured into my craft. Having my music recognized by artists and labels I admire not only inspires me to keep pushing my creative boundaries but also reinforces my belief in the unique fusion of classical and electronic elements that defines my sound. It helps my music reach new audiences, allowing me to build deeper connections
with listeners around the world. Ultimately, the support fuels my determination to grow, both artistically and professionally. It’s a reminder that staying authentic to my voice can lead to meaningful progress, and as time goes on, I aim to use this momentum to bring even more powerful, transformative experiences to my audience.”

Hosting your very own radio show, Haus Glow, could you talk us through the main process and inspiration behind this project, the constant growth that has been achieved, as well as an overview on the guests that have joined along the way?

“Hosting Haus Glow has been such a rewarding journey! The inspiration behind the show was to create a platform that not only showcases my love for melodic and progressive house but also connects listeners with a diverse range of sounds and artists. It’s a space where I can curate music that deeply resonates with me, while also giving both up-and-coming talent and established names a chance to shine. The process begins with carefully selecting tracks that tell a cohesive story, blending my own productions with those of artists I admire. I love incorporating live elements, such as my electric violin overlays enhanced with FX pedals and live looping, which add a unique and
personal touch to the show. Over time, Haus Glow has evolved into a weekly ritual, and I’m thrilled to see it now broadcast on over 25 stations worldwide, reaching an ever-growing audience. We’ve hosted an incredible lineup of guests, including artists like Yves V, KREAM, and Laura van Dam, each bringing their distinctive energy and style to the show. These collaborations not only add variety but also allow me to celebrate and learn from the immense talent within the industry. For me, Haus Glow is more than just a radio show—it’s a community, a creative outlet, and
an ongoing journey to share music that inspires and uplifts. Watching its growth has been a testament to the power of consistency, passion, and staying true to my artistic vision.”

On the same note, Haus Glow is closing in on a 75th episode and we would like to know your own view on reaching this milestone, as well as the idea behind a live shot show at the scenic Laguna Niguel in California?

“Reaching the 75th episode of Haus Glow feels like a huge milestone—a testament to the dedication, creativity, and connection that this show has fostered over the past months. Each episode has been an opportunity to share my love for melodic and progressive house with listeners worldwide, and it’s incredible to see how far the show has come. The support from my audience, guest artists, and radio partners has been truly humbling, and it fuels my drive to keep evolving and bringing fresh energy to every episode. The idea of celebrating this milestone with a live-shot set at the stunning Laguna Niguel in California feels like the perfect way to mark this moment. Laguna Niguel’s natural beauty is so inspiring, and pairing that breathtaking scenery with live music creates a unique sensory experience for both the live audience and those tuning in online. It also allows me to bring Haus Glow to life in a completely new way—merging my live performance, complete with violin overlays and looping, with the curated energy of the show. This live celebration will symbolize the journey so far, while also setting the tone for what’s to come as we continue building the Haus Glow community. It’s about creating a memorable experience that embodies the spirit of the show: connection, inspiration, and the transformative power of music.”

With 2024 coming to an end, could you talk us through what the future holds for Alfiya Glow, always in terms of new music, upcoming collaborations and live performances?

“As 2024 comes to a close, I’m looking ahead with excitement and intention. There’s new music on the horizon—pieces that dive deeper into emotion and exploration—and collaborations that will surprise and inspire. The future holds more than I can say just yet, but one thing is certain: the journey is just beginning, and there’s so much more to uncover. Stay tuned—there’s magic on the way.”
