Svani Broke Away from the Traditional Way of Learning Music
Svani studied audio engineering at The Art Institute of Austin but left before finishing the degree, preferring hands-on learning over traditional schooling. He felt it wasn't the right fit for him. He added:
"That's kind of why [the] school didn't work out for me either like I just have a problem with, I guess, like being told what to do."
Being part of a band in middle school became his introduction to making music. He wanted to continue what his father and late aunt started with cumbia, a style of Latin music.
Adding to his professional roles, Svani is a doting dad to his daughter, Yvie.
Before taking the stage name Principe Q, he initially gained popularity as DJ Moonpie, a name his father suggested. Along the way, he joined the local DJ collective Bombon, marking significant steps in his career.
