Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: There are two recent projects that I am proud of. One is my song "Dance". That I fuse rap, with some salsa (Latin sounds, mixed with G Funk sounds). I totally wrote the song, and added some ideas for the beat. The other project is "Voltaje" (it has not yet been released). It is lyrics and music made by me.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I am working on developing my music career as a Latin Trap, Reggaeton, and Latin Hip Hop artist. I am starting to exploit my abilities as a beatmaker, to help other talents find their flow, and their sound.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Honestly no. I discovered SoundBetter by researching ways, tools, and spaces to develop my musical career. I am 100% focused on making money with what I love, and exploiting my capabilities to the fullest
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital. Because the universe of sounds it has is bigger, I like it better, and it is not limited to a physical space. The digital has made the processes faster, and better, so that musicians can work in a more competitive and collaborative way. I love digital sound

A: Not taking people into account, what each musical style is, conceptually. Close only to the theoretical, and not connect with the fanatic. Not enjoying the movement, and what you are doing
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: 1- 3 References of how you want your project to sound (it does not have to be 3 songs). 2- What do you want to achieve artistically? (and if possible, how far do you want your project to go) 2- What kind of people do you want to reach?

A: 1- MacBook (With Ableton Live and libraries, Nexus and Kontact) 2 - Arturia Midi Controller. 3- Some condenser microphone 4- Interface 5- money for advertisements, and digital investment
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have been writing songs since I am almost a child. In 2011 I started in freestyle battles, I reached national competitions. In 2018 I seriously set out to make music. I have about a year studying, and practicing creating beats, but since I was a teenager I tried, and experimented, different ideas, rhythms, aesthetics, structures, and sounds with different DAWs.
