Interview with Catherine Obanda (Cwezy)
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: No spoilers.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital. Old might be gold but... idk. It's less bulky.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Do I request publishing or composer royalties? No. Ghost services means the client keeps 100%. However, it comes with a good compensation ;)
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What sound are you trying to create? What your inspiration was? Is it for any sync placements? Do you have a deadline for the project? What's your budget?
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My Mac, a solar charging system, some mixing headphones, an audio interface, and a dynamic mic.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started writing creatively since I was young but my first official single was out in 2017. In 2019 is when I decided to pursue a career as a musical artist. So far so good. I wish to expand the Cwezy Music label globally and sign some amazing talents while at it.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I pick out elements from variations of the following Genres: Pop, Rock, Reggaetón and Afrobeat.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Lyric songwriting and Melody formations
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: The feels. Deep emotions that the listener will resonate with.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: For beats, I come up with these melodies in my head, hum them out or sing jibberish on a voice recording on my phone then create it on my DAW as I get the keys. Once I make the melody, I bring in the chords then drums and leads last. At this point, anyone I am working with is invited to two video listening sessions to critique the beat's progress. Sometimes artists may have a main instrumental in mind so I also have to put that into consideration. For songwriting, I listen to the beat once and resonate it with a mood or vibe, from then I freestyle on a voice recording then write and give the song structure. On some occasions, the artist gives the topic and I write a concept around that.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I'm still not a fan of Big studio spaces. I generally work with mobile studio gear which enables me to travel anywhere in the world and spread the magic. A Mac, midi-keyboard, drum pad, mixing headphones, and an audio interface. For vocal recording, I also bring a mic, preamp, and a portable vocal shield.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Have a clear vision as to what you need for your musical career and a budget for it. Also, be as transparent as possible in terms of payment timelines and the purpose of the contract so we can work something out.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I have a couple in mind but the first would be Halsey, her voice is just amazing!
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: You don't need expensive gear to make it work.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Brandon Flowers, Tainy, WondaGurl, just to name a few.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Ghost production and song-writing for sync and billboard placements.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I like to under promise so I'm able to over deliver. So really expect a blunt pitch.
