Lawrence Sanchez on SoundBetter

I write mainly emo trap rock style beats at the moment (think Lil Peep, XXXTentacion etc.) but I also write many other styles of music from ambient soundscapes through to pure shameless pop. I record all the music in my tracks myself so no headaches over getting samples cleared.

I DJ and have 2 signed bands that I've toured globally with - Crushed Beaks & 13XL. In my downtime, I love taking on music projects of all sorts.

Previous projects include: song writing/producing for a mixture of bands and solo artists signed to major labels such as Island and Black Butter through to new emerging independent artists; mixing tracks; writing compositions for film & moving image; writing compositions for choirs and orchestras; sound design.

I'm used to working with a variety of clients such as singer/ songwriters, advertising agencies, brands, radio stations, production houses, instrumentalists and students.

I have my own studio so can invite clients over (pending Corona restrictions!) or we can work remotely, whatever you prefer.

Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Typically I begin with questioning the client for their requests for the track. This includes styles, subjects and delivery. I then listen to the instrumental provided for a decent amount of time and freestyle melodies right then. After a few rough recordings I'll revise and structure my lyrics. Then I will come with the final reference track. A reference track and lyrics are sent to a client.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I am inspired by Lil Druk, Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, Xxxtentacion, and more.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: The most common type of work I do for my clients is ghost writing. Typically I provide a reference track and lyrics within a week of time.
