We sat down with German dance-pop sensation Jaxomy to talk about his recent release ‘She’s So High’ with Conor Maynard, viral hit ‘Pedro’ and what he see’s in his own future.
How did the collaboration with Conor come about?
The collaboration actually came about thanks to my A&R at the label. They had the idea that Conor and I would be a great match for a track, so they introduced us. As soon as we connected, we knew we could create something special. We shared ideas, and everything just clicked naturally in the studio. It was a really fun process, and I’m super happy with how the track turned out.
What are some of the main positives from collaborating on music in your experience?
Collaboration brings fresh ideas, new creative energy, and helps push you out of your comfort zone. But one of the biggest positives is that it introduces your music to new listeners and different audiences. Each artist has their own fanbase, so working together can expand your reach and bring more people into your world. Plus, it’s just exciting to blend styles and create something unique.
In your music, what are some of the main influences that have shaped your sound?
One of my biggest influences is Tchami—his future house style is what originally got me into producing music. His sound was so fresh and unique, and it really inspired me to start creating my own tracks. Besides that, I also have a background in playing guitar and piano, which has helped me a lot with melodies, chord progressions, and understanding music on a deeper level. I try to blend those musical elements with energetic, modern dance production to create my own signature sound.
Your viral hit song ‘Pedro’ came out just over a year ago now, how can you describe the journey this song has taken you on?
It’s been an incredible journey! Before ‘Pedro,’ I was playing in bars and small clubs for around 300€ a night, just grinding and trying to make a name for myself. Now, I’m playing big shows in football stadiums, which is absolutely surreal. The success of ‘Pedro’ has allowed me to finally make a living from music and fully focus on my passion. It’s a dream come true, and I’m beyond grateful for how far this track has taken me.
How did producing ‘Pedro’ differ from producing ‘She’s So High’?
Honestly, there wasn’t a huge difference in the production process. Both tracks share similar elements and instruments, and I followed a similar workflow while making them. The main difference was probably the vibe—‘Pedro’ has that fun, high-energy Italo feel, while ‘She’s So High’ is more emotional and melodic. But overall, the way I approached both tracks was quite similar.
If you could play a b2b set with any current DJ in the world, who would it be and why?
Definitely Tchami! He was the reason I started making music in the first place, and his future house sound has had a huge influence on me. I remember watching his Ultra Music Festival set on YouTube in my bedroom when I was younger, dreaming about one day being on a stage like that. To now be in a position where playing b2b with him could be a possibility is just crazy—it would be a full-circle moment for me!
You’re a regular performer at World Club Dome festival in Germany, how can you describethe feeling playing in front of such huge crowds?
I never thought I’d be standing on a stage like this! It’s an insane feeling. What’s interesting is that the bigger the crowd, the quicker my nervousness fades. When you play in a club, people are right in front of you, and you can see their facial expressions—you immediately know if they’re into it or not. But in a massive festival crowd, you don’t see individual faces, just a sea of people moving and vibing to the music. It’s surreal and gives me pure adrenaline every time!
Which festivals are you yet to perform at that you’d like to one day and why?
Tomorrowland is definitely at the top of my list. It’s one of the most legendary festivals in the world, and the production, crowd, and overall experience just seem out of this world. Ultra Music Festival would also be a dream—playing in Miami with that electric energy would be insane.
Finally, what advice would you give to your younger self just starting out in the music industry?
I’d tell my younger self to get out of the comfort zone and not be afraid to take risks. When I was starting out, it was tough for me to put myself in front of a camera and do things like TikToks every day because I was afraid of what my friends or others might think. But looking back, I realize that putting myself out there and being authentic was one of the best things I could have done. The industry is all about staying true to yourself, pushing boundaries, and embracing the journey. So, don’t hold back—just keep going and stay consistent. NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER!!!
