The Oni on SoundBetter

The Oni is looking to get his original songs in the hands of the right performers to help them grow their brand and fan base.

Located in New York, The Oni works from a home studio with himself and his two cats. The Oni has been writing and singing songs for the last thirteen years and has been recording original productions for ten. He is a certified pro tools engineer and has a bachelor's degree in music theory and audio production. He has written and produced over 100 original songs of his own and is now looking to help others. In the last year the Oni has decided that his music and talents are best if used from the shadows rather than the spotlight.

Interview with The Oni

Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I'm working on a totally original album and hoping to find a performing artist that would like to use it to grow their brand.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both, they can both be very useful in the right hands.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That making original music on a computer is easy
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Map out what you want in a music career before you make any moves. If your looking to hire Top end everything, make sure you have the hustle and drive to promote the finished project.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been writing and producing original music for ten years. Originally I wanted to be a famous performing artist like everyone else. But over time I discovered that my obsession with music is more about the studio than the fame and crowds. Nowadays I just want to be in the studio being creative and learning new skills.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Colorful and maybe welcoming
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Kid Cudi or Twenty One Pilots. They both helped me tremendously in facing the mental health problems I've faced all my life.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Research Compression (It makes everything, especially vocals sound great)
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Hip hop, Pop, and chill stuff. I love listening to Rock, Punk, Oldies, Funk and many others. I'm just much better at writing the other stuff
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Probably gaming Lmao. Been doing that even before music.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: An original sound that still sounds familiar. When I write or produce a song, I tend to already have the song done in my head. I just need to pull it out and place it in the recording.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Experimentation of sounds and skills are at the forefront of my work. I really enjoy just sitting down and tweaking a synth or audio clip for hours on end until I hear the inspiration for a new song.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My studio is full of audio gear and instruments left out in the open. I leave it out to help inspire me in creating and writing my best stuff. I feel like if I put everything away after each use id eventually just stop getting it out to begin with. Its a little messy at times but it helps keeps things loose.
