Interview with Isaac DePersig
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: My best project was solo. I was able to gel the whole song in about 30 minutes(pre effects and mastering). The song came easily to be which was an advantage. Due to it flowing easily I was able to see 600,000+ streams on Spotify alone.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I am working 2 singles for myself as well as a single for a client
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: A combination of both. I think that a good production has both as it allows a little bit more natural OG music style. But I also love the digital side of music
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: To produce a track that is close if not perfect to what they want
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I love music. I love creating music. It’s my go to happy place. I also love seeing clients being able to express themselves through their music.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Q: Why are you charging so much for a 3 minute song? A: Because of the amount of time I put into a piece Q: Can we have the project done in a day A: Sure if you want the project to not be finished properly
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: I believe that a producers time is not always valued and when producers name a price they think it’s outrageous but there are many hours that go into releasing a single.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What are their favorite artists and what are they looking to get out of this production.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Always read the fine print. Don’t let someone scam you out of royalties or money.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Shure mic, Akai midi keyboard, studio monitors, guitar, and laptop

A: I have been playing guitar and piano since kindergarten. I have done multiple small shows in my local area. I started releasing music and producing in August of 2020
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: My style is more unique as I release music that’s more chill. Some with lyrics and some without. But I will produce whatever genre the client is looking to produce.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I would love to work with Tate McRae, Charlieonafriday, Jessie Murph. The reason I have chosen these 3 artists is because they are all very close in age to me and they are all an inspiration to not give up on your dream and continue to push forward and produce and release music no matter what the outcome will be.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Always remember to turn the master volume down low and if everything is still punching through then your general mix is good.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Edm, lofi, r&b, pop
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill would be producing various tracks whether that’s through my midi keyboard or using my guitar.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring a style to the best of my ability that the client is looking to have. I will always have an open ear for criticism.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Step 1: meet the client and see their expectations Step 2: sit down and go over lyrics- main melody Step 3: start building the track Step 4: bring in the vocals Step 5: 2-3 revisions Step 6: full master Step 7: sit down and discuss distribution and promotion Step 8: get the song out for the world to hear
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My studio is what i like to call the carry on studio. Because I haven’t been in the industry long my studio is not all that grand. I have my midi controller, my shure mic, my new Scarlett 2i2, studio monitors and my laptop. Although I may nor have grand equipment I have seen over 600,000 streams on one song alone in the past year.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Charlieonafriday is an artist that I look up to in the industry. His style of music and his story is amazing and I can relate to it in many ways. A producer that i look up to is Kato on the track. He has worked with multiple great artists and I love his production method and style.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I do full production from sitting down with the artist, recording vocals and all other tracks and then helping them release their song to the world.
