We caught up with this music icon to chat about this next phase in his already impressive career.

PC: How did you discover your passion for music?
Cimo: My father was a musician so I was always around music. It felt normal, like a part of life. I didn’t realize it was actually my passion until I was fourteen. I haven’t been able to stop creating since then.

PC: Who or what has had the biggest influence on your career?
Cimo: My family always told me to do what I feel, and growing up around other musicians really inspired me a lot.

PC: Tell us about your new single, “All Comes Down.” What inspired the track?
Cimo: Funny story. I was watching Game of Thrones at the time and I was really inspired by their slang. The words from the track are inspired by Game of Thrones.

PC: What was it like collaborating with Armin Van Buuren?
Cimo: Amazing. This is our second single together. We toured and had a lot of fun both during and between shows.

PC: What does the rest of the year hold for you as we look ahead to the end of 2019 into 2020?
Cimo: I have a show coming up at the Sayers Club in L.A. on November 14.
