Career
In 2015, Tenova collaborated with Los Angeles-based producer Eric Sharp on "Slow Me Down", a single featuring vocals by Australian singer Erin Marshall.[2][3][4] The song was released through Sharp's record label RIS Labs.[5] Prior to the song's creation, Tenova met Sharp and asked him if he had any 'drafts' which he could work on before editing it. Marshall was then contacted to add vocals to the song.[2] In 2016, Tenova collaborated with Sharp again to release the single "Hallucination" through Tommie Sunshine's label Brooklyn Fire.[1][6][7][8] The duo also remixed Mansions on the Moon's song "The Truth".[9][10] The remix received notable radio support from Jason Bentley on KCRW's Metropolis.[11][12]
In 2017, Tenova released "The River," with Toolroom Records. The track went on to receive airplay from English DJs Pete Tong and Mark Knight, as well as Benny Benassi.[13][14] Currently, Tenova is living in Europe.[15]
In 2018, Tenova spent a considerable amount of time in the country of Georgia, where he wrote his second piece for Toolroom Records, "Minda."[16] Regarding his time there, he was quoted as saying: "I wanted to honor my time in both of these places by making a track that was very much inspired by both. Sample-based music is just a culmination of your life experiences in many ways, as every sound you choose resonates with some part of you as a person."[16]
