Exposed Vocals: So tell us your story. Where did you grow up? What made you decide to become an artist?

 

TCD: I was born adn raised in Zagreb the capital of Croatia a small country in the south east Europe.I always liked music and it was a big part of my life,and a couple of years ago a friend introduced me to EDM,a few months later I discovered that there were DJ/music producers and I didn’t want to become one of them but then my girfriend dumped me and I don’t know how I found myself making mashups and beats.When I made my first remix I felt on top of the world and my friends liked it,so at that moment I knew I wanted to become an artist.Because my love for music was huge and I wanted to create.

 

Exposed Vocals: How did you come up with that name? What was your inspiration behind it?

 

TCD: I went through a lot of names and at one I stopped, The Cro DJ this was a long name,but a couple of weeks later I rembered I can just make it TCD for short.I got this idea on my own just by going through names of Dj’s I like.

Exposed Vocals: What do you think about online music sharing? Do you ever give your music away for free? Why?
