Interview with Brújula Music Studio
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: In 2018, work with an artist from Bogotá. Her name is Vil María and I am very proud because she started producing and recording her songs after working with Brujula. She told us that she was inspired by how we produce her songs and the motivation began to start her venture with her own recording studio.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I'm working on 4 singles of the genres: trap, rock, pop and electronic. Also, I'm working on a blog through Facebook and Instagram to help artists improve their music habits.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: yes. I have a very good friend: Anibal de los Reyes, he is one of the most talented people I have had the honor of working with and I know that he has made incredible songs for people looking for solutions through Soundbetter
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital. It is much easier to handle, takes up less space and works very well with the way I work.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: Brujula guarantees the artist to take their songs to the next level
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I love helping artists turn their ideas into great songs. I enjoy every day in my studio learning, creating and mixing songs. But what I enjoy the most is seeing how the artists who work with me grow and consolidate their musical career.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: There are 2 questions that I am frequently asked: How much does the recording cost? Answer: The investment you are going to make is XXX USD and we include permanent coaching and full connection to the production and recording process Why should i record with you? Answer: What we are looking for is that you learn new tools that allow you to continue growing as an artist and also, that you have fun doing what you love. I want to become your ally and one more member of your project, always looking for the best.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: Believe that money comes easy and fast. that was the wrong idea I had of being a music producer when I started.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: The question would be: ¿What do you hope to achieve once you record / mix your song?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: My advice is to review the work the producer has done, if you like the sound, to be someone who is interested in helping you focus your songs on what you want and to be fulfilled with the previously established commitments.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: If i was on a desert island, I would take a current generator, a PC, an interface, my guitar and a microphone to continue making music.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I am a business administrator by profession but my passion has always been music. I have been recording and producing bands for 10 years and 2 years ago I started my own studio.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: My style of composition is very contemporary. I love the mixes that sound giant, the choruses that when you hear them make you dance or jump and I have always liked the strength with which genres such as rock and electronics are made.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I would like to work with artists like Green Day, Bring Me The Horizon, Paramore, Bruno Mars and Jhon Mayer. As producers we learn every day from the artists we record but I consider that with the experience and resources they use in their recordings, I can grow a lot as a producer in terms of composition.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Sure. My Tip is to organize a daily work routine. If you have productions to work, this routine will help you to be more efficient organizing your time. Organize spaces where you will focus on moving forward with your production and spaces where you can rest. When you have free time, use this routine to learn new production, recording, mixing and master techniques.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I usually work rock, pop, trap, electronic and metal.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is production. I have a lot of fun working and helping artists turn their ideas into great songs. I like to help the artist find a unique style in his way of composing and I love helping him in the next step in his musical career.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I like that the songs are very well organized. That they have a reason and that each measure is well defined. I like to work songs that have feeling and that when I listen to them cause me a very strong emotion.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: The first thing is to organize a call with the artist to find out what his ideas are, his influences and what he intends with the project. The second is to organize a recording schedule. The times in which the songs will be worked are defined and a delivery time of the song to work is defined. During the mixing process, samples are sent to the artist so that he can give feedback on the work being done and meetings are scheduled with the work team to determine the best way to show the finished work. Finishing and delivering the work, a coaching session is done to the artist to deliver the best tips that allow him to grow in the local industry to which he belongs.
