Winner of the Contest 2055 remix released by Panamanian producer Predikador with Martin Machore, Joey Montana. I like to experiment and explore different musical genres, respecting their essence and amalgamating them into a whole, I generally work with energetic rhythms such as trap, reggaeton, EDM, HIp Hop and R&B.
I have been making instrumentals or beatmaking for 10 years, experimenting mostly in urban genres such as trap, hip hop, reggaeton and R&B but also in electronic music and Latin rhythms such as cumbia and merengue.
I have also done mixing and recording work over the years, as well as some mastering.

Interview with Seventh B
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: The 2055 remix, beyond recognition, was a very curious experience, with a lot of learning and a lot of growth. I produced part of the instrumental and did the mixing and mastering.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: release singles with area artists.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: I am new to the platform, I hope to build camaraderie here, which will eventually make us build a bridge between my country and the other, here we need the music and recording industry.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital, being in a Home Studio limits my space, and because the process is faster, although I do not rule out one day working on a console, in fact I work with many emulations such as Avalon, API, SSL, etc.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: That I am going to try to obtain the result you are looking for, and dedicate myself fully to the work, that makes me grow more.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The emotions and feelings that are generated in the production or recording process, as well as when listening to the result, are very stimulating to the imagination.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: I don't think I'm specific, but when I'm asked something I try to have a broad response and share the knowledge that I have acquired over the years.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: Highlight a sound, or overproduce.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What do you have in mind, what are your musical tastes and influences, what action or reaction are you looking for the song to have in the public, or what objective are you looking for with the musical outside of the musical.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: See that they have the same personality and attitude as you, the same tastes, almost friends, that helps to understand each other better musically and share dreams inside and outside the studio. The vibe is the most important thing, the talks and laughter help the process.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: PC, headphones and MIDI Controller.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've mostly worked with emerging talents and made some remixes. The year I have been doing this may vary since initially it started out of curiosity but I would say that I have been doing this for between 10 and 12 years.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Energetic, catchy, a lot of movement, Happy, Mainstream.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I would like to work with any artist who allows me to contribute a small part of my voice through melodies and rhythms and can grow with him or her. Since I am very curious and I like to explore and be constantly learning. Although if we go specifically to recognized artists, the list could be long but I leave some that would be the ones I choose for having music that moves me and stimulates my imagination a lot: Ariana Grande, Drake, Dua Lipa, J Balvin, Wisin y Yandel, Diplo, Bad Bunny, Rels B, KSHMR.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Listen to a lot of music, have a lot of contact with art and be very observant of what is around you, from there many ideas can come from which you can connect in a musical theme. Have three personalities or chips, one to produce music and give flight to your imagination regardless of the technical, the second is to technically correct the mix, and the third will be the critic of the mix to enhance it in the mastering.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Hip Hop, Trap, Reggaeton, Cumbia, EDM, R&B.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: catchy melodies, and rhythms with a lot of groove, energetic.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Normally I focus on giving the song the appropriate, familiar and catchy sound, exploring and experimenting with sounds and rhythms, but always respecting the essence of the musical genre being worked on. Try to understand the sound and idea that the artist seeks to achieve and amalgamate it into a whole, without this being a strange combination, but rather familiar to the public.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I mostly work on the beatmaking stage in ableton live and recording and mixing in pro tools. Many times I make instrumentals from scratch, other times I am guided by the voices and other times by references and musical tastes of the artists.
