Jonathan Milanes on SoundBetter

Hi, I'm an artist/producer that specializes in pop music and its sub-genres (indie-pop, RnB, hip-hop, pop-rock). My main focus is providing artists the support they need; which is their development and guiding them within their journey while at it; that is the reason I created Soundprise. An online music production platform that is for the artist.

Interview with Jonathan Milanes

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: The first client I ever worked with started out as somebody just doing covers and using other people's background music; till I told him he can be more with his talent if only he acts and believes it. 1 year later now making his own music, he's released an EP which I produced, touring around his hometown, and currently building his career step by step :)
Q: What are you working on at the moment?

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Everything can be broken down to a process. Which means your vision can be a reality if we take the steps necessary for its achievement.

A: acoustic guitar, phone, pen, paper, water dispenser ;)
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I'm an artist/producer just wanting to make good music and a career out of this :) I've been a musician since age 13, so that's about 13 years now (as of 2019).
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Melody is everything AKA = the voice
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: As many as possible! The more artists I can help, the better I feel.

A: Lately I've been producing somewhere in between pop and hip-hop (Ariana Granda vibes)
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I care for the artists I work with. I want to be a part of their journey, not just a one-off work for hire.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Vision. And I do this by getting to know the artist and their song idea and support that in all aspects. I like to think of myself as a bridge for the artist to cross-over so they can get to their end goal.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Client reaches out and shares their project details (reference track, budget, timeline etc.), and I start working on the track, and we go back and forth in terms of revisions till the client is 110% happy with the final track :)
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: More than enough to create great music. It's not the gear, it's the ear!
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: As I listen to so much music and I take inspiration from as many things as possible, it's hard to pinpoint. I think there is beauty in everything and everyone.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I work mainly in the pop genre, but I am eclectic in terms of my influences and my skillset. I produce in genres such as: pop-rock, indie-pop, RnB, Hip-hop. I take and derive the best elements from all the genres I listen to and implement those into my productions; which make my productions have a certain uniqueness to them.
