Interview with Davis Chris

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I have charted on Billboard 6 Times as an indie artist. My involvement was co writing, producing,engineering,mixing,mastering and featuring on them as artist. Im proud of all of them the same😁
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I am executive producing a few EPs for a few clients. Im co writing, producing, engineering and mixing for them. I also run a successful marketing company
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Natalis is great.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: I use a combo of both at times I like actual hardware CL1B and ur Neve 1073 of course. The LA-2A is nice on female vocals as well.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: Im gonna get it done
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I like making moments and experiences through the music. Im big on reaction and remarkable art (Read Purple Cow Theory by Seth Godin for further analysis of that!lol)
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Can you add more reverb? Sure, I got you.lol
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: People think this is easy and its not. I have to pay my dues and put in alot of time for free.And people think this isnt a business when the music industry is actually a 12 BiLLion dollar industry(google away for verification.lol)
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Deadline a few references of what direction they would like to go so I can execute what they desire. If they say Lady Gaga or 21 Savage there is a HUGE difference in style obviously. Be specific!
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Listen to my work. If you feel like I can help add to your existing greatness lets team up and make it even greater. Me having skill means nothing if I cant execute things with people. Music is beautiful and meant to be shared with others.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Macbook Interface Mic Hard drive headphones
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I am on year 8. ive eclipsed my 10,000 hours of mastery for sure. More like 25,000 to 30,000 now because 80 percent of sessions I have i am co writing, producing, engineering,vocal producing, mixing and mastering.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I make music that sounds like you should be wearing a versace robe on yacht drinking expensive Champagne. I make the music that accompanies that experience.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Beyonce. Im from Houston. She is a god to me. Her work ethic and ability is unmatched.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Write to chords and produce around the SONG.I am a producer but we sing cadence and lyrics of songs and not drum patterns. that high hat is important but not nearly as important as an infectious hook that we want to sing over and over while we dance in our living rooms!
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I usually work on R&B
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is Songwriting.And a close tie in with that is vocal production. I think they go hand and hand.(Topline,Harmonies and adlibs,Melodyne,editing,comping etc etc.)
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring the best of out people I work with. I bring my unique aesthetic and taste to music. I have synesthesia and perfect relative pitch so i often see colors when I create.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I sit and have a conversation with the artist about what they want to say. We have an actual conversation about it and im taking notes the whole time. Then Ill play a chord progression that matches or speaks to us. We freestyle melody for about 3 minutes. I come back and vocally arrange the most fitting and compelling parts. Then we put lyrics to the melody. Once the song is dynamic and compelling I will then produce around it.Once we both like that then i will Mix and Master.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have Protools, Auto Tune,Melodyne,an Apollo Twin, and a Neumann TLM 102
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Poo Bear,Rico Love, Pharrell, and Timbaland are some of my favorite creatives.
