Refugee on SoundBetter
Add to favorites Remove from my favorites

I've helped lots of artists by mixing my creativity and my production skills in EDM to create great sounding songs!
I will give your track all the time it needs, plus my suggestions and ideas to create the best music possible!

I live in Monterrey, México. I speak fluid English and I'm used to working with people in other timezones: India, Ukraine, L.A., Canada, USA, South Africa...

I have a lot of experience in the electronic dance music (EDM) scene. I'm very good in mainstream music but also in unique sounds like future bass, trap, moombah.

I have an audio interface and a mic in my home studio in which I have recorded electric guitars, acoustic guitars, and vocals many times.
For me, the most important thing is the music. I am used to working as a ghost or as a producer for vocalists/bands. I love melodic music and I'm always trying to innovate.
My main goal is to create music that transcends.
You choose however you want the song.
If you have an idea for a song and truly believe in it, I will make my best to make it happen. I will give the track the attention it needs and my professional suggestions and overview for the track. If you hire me then I will have a responsibility for making the best track possible.

Interview with Refugee

What's your 'promise' to your clients?
I won't stop until they're 100% happy with the song, and always give my best!
What do you like most about your job?
Seeing the process of an idea turn into a finished song. Also meeting new friends.
What questions do you ask prospective clients?
I never go into personal stuff! only like which artists/songs style do you want to build this track from, if you want a hybrid cool! Also, some other music related questions that could come in the way.
What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
Try to get the main idea of the song in your head, I will do the rest :)
What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
5 years since I stepped into EDM, but I've been doing music my whole life
What type of music do you usually work on?
Pop, EDM, Dancehall, Hip-Hop, Rnb... I really work on a lot of different genres.
Tell us about your studio setup.
2 screens, audio interface, mouse, MIDI keyboard, monitors, a bigger MIDI keyboard, treated room.
Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
Instrumentals and finished songs.
What's your strongest skill?
I know how to make a track sound full. And also recreating sounds and making something dancy or bouncy :).
What do you bring to a song?
Life. My goal is to make the idea of my artists a real finished song so that they are 100% happy with it.
What's your typical work process?
First I get the idea, that's a natural process. Then I get the basic project going in which I experiment and make my own original sounds. After that it's just perseverance and patience to don't lose faith in the project. Finally, sometimes I ask for some feedback to my non-producer friends so that I can have an honest opinion.
What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
Major Lazer, Benny Blanco, Skrillex, Kanye, Kendrick Lamar, Clean Bandit, Flume, and a lot more.
