We asked Ardalander 20 questions about growing up in Iran, being evicted & the real story of 'Mr. Good'
was technically the first piece of music that I heard that was on tape. The track "Around The World” was on it. I bought the CD like five or six years later. That was basically the first piece of a dance album that really got me into the house music, and then the Tupac track was a B-side song. It was really random, but I guess that helped me, because I'm really random in my music selections these days, too. Random is good.I grew up in Iran and the Bay Area.
My dad is an architect in Iran. He's currently still living there with my mom, and my mom's an interior designer. My dad also worked for Caltrans in California, so that's when we went back and forth. They've seen I've been really passionate and working hard. They're super proud of me, which I'm very thankful for. I originally wanted to be an industrial automotive designer of cars and stuff, but I made a track and then 180'd my everything.
8. What's the first thing you bought for yourself when you started making money as a DJ and producer? I worked on it mostly in the studio. I actually made one of the tracks at Dirtybird Campout in 2017 in my trailer. Most of it was in my old studio, actually, that I just moved out of like three months ago, which was an apartment in the Fillmore district of San Francisco that I shared with Justin Martin. We were roommates for like seven years there. He moved out two years ago, but I stayed there. It was time for me to move out. I was getting evicted, haha.
