I'm a 22 year old Producer/Drummer. I've been playing drums and percussion for 14 years and I've been producing for 6 years. I utilise percussive sounds to help my tracks feel organic and fresh.

I can play other instruments too however my skill varies with them as I'm self taught, I can play; Guitar, Ukulele, Bass guitar, Violin, Alto Sax, Piano. I am currently attending Icon collective and have access to professional studios to mix and master Tracks with ease.

Alex was fantastic to work with. I love the sound design ideas he had for the remix. He was both able to put his own creative spins and interesting interpretations on the song, as well as following more specific directions with revisions and adjustments. I would definitely work with Alex again in the future.

Alex is hands down the best man for the job!! Not only did he give back an awesome remix, but did so quickly after the inquiry! His knowledge on drums is through the roof, would recommend to everyone

Interview with Alex Robinson

Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I'm currently working on a project called Floot where I'm producing minimal, organic sounding beats and songs.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Not Currently.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both, digital can definitely recreate sounds very closely and you can get some really cool effects, but analog and acoustic instruments still have a specific feel and theres always slight inconsistencies that make each instrument/synthesizer sound its own way.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: People think that I'm not a musician because I produce off of a laptop, but they don't know that to produce you need to know more skills, such as sound design, mixing, mastering and on top of that I need to know the fundamentals of music theory.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What Genre do you want me to produce? What feeling do you want me to portray through the music? Do you want Live instruments, if so which ones?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Take your time to find an artist who produces the right style of music for what you want.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: my Laptop, Headphones, Studio monitors, Desk and my microphone.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I want to eventually be able to earn 100% of my income from making music that people vibe with. I've been following this path for 4 years.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Percussive, Minimalistic, Funky
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I'd love to work with Post Malone because his vocals suit my style of music
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Sometimes having less is more. Over producing something can ruin a track.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Mostly minimalistic hip hop / trap beats. I also dabble in orchestral scoring, future bass, dubstep and rock.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Being versatile with producing different genres.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring a fresh percussive, organic sound to all of my beats. I use every day sounds to create polyrhythms behind the main beat.
