Kenfrom24 on SoundBetter

I've been doing music since i'm 13 years old.15 years later i'm doing it as a full time job. Been working for EMPIRE, Universal, to french artist such as Aya nakamura, Kalash and Medi med and more. I had to run a studio as the main producer, engineer, and studio manager. I did work on festival & live show. I love what I do, and it shows on my work.

Music producer, engineer. I can do all type of genre from hard trap (travis scott lil baby etc.. to rnb (kehlani, summer walker, to some more soulful and melodic sound sam smith, frank ocean etc...) I do AFRO beats too. I can mix your vocals, create a new song from your vocals, remix a track, create interlude. during my time running a studio I had to run podcast, record and mix them. I'm a polyvalent Music producer/engineer that can help start, finish and get the best out of your idea!

Interview with Kenfrom24

  1. Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

  2. A: Major - Keep My faith. I produced the song and write the song with an artist online. that song got to Empire and some producer stole it from me. they release the album without my name on it and no payment like I didn’t exist and when I got in touch with them, everyone approved that it was mine but still no one wanted to add me on the credits or to pay me. Couple years later, after one lawsuit. I finally got paid, and the song got re-released with my name on it. My first Placement ever was a Gospel Beat I uploaded on Youtube.

  3. Q: What are you working on at the moment?

  4. A: On an Hiphop album. I got 3 production so far in it.

  15. Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

  16. A: I don't know if it's the biggest but for sure one of the biggest reason would be that music producer should know music theory.

  19. Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

  20. A: Ask questions about; his style that he feels comfortable in. if he likes work on projects thats doesn’t really fits what he usually do. If he's doing it full time fastest or easiest way to contact him Be open minded Don't give to much restriction let him work his magic than we'll take decisions

  23. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  24. A: I've been producing since 13 year old. so from 13 to 16 it was strickly producing I was already working with few local rapper. Then at 16 year old that's when I got my first mic so I started recording and a bit of mixing. from 16 to 22 it music mixing with school so i wasn’t so focus on my career. Then at 22 I start looking to work in studios and I got my first job as engineer in a studio. Also started working as a sound technician in shows. Did my first festival that same year. It was one of Montreal's biggest festivals (Francosfolies). Then spent three years in that studio and my work there started to transformed itself into a studio manager job and at the end my three year around 25 I was completely running the studio with the team that i have built. While those three year i work with artiste from every where from Europe to Usa and traveled for few shows. compose fo artist too. After those three years at the studio I stayed on the road. working in different studios, spent a summer in LA working on music with new artist. Now, i'm 28 At the moment that i'm writting this so Ive been doing this for 16years

  25. Q: How would you describe your style?

  26. A: I Learn music in the church growing up in a ghetto so it would be a lot of gospel on dark big drums. Or the other way around, but in anything I do, I feel like growing up and learning music in the circumstances that I was, push me to try and match the unmatchable.

  27. Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

  28. A: If I had to choose anyone it would be Kanye west. First because he is the reason why i got into music production but also because i think my sound will match his, I'm pretty sure that we can complete each other.

  29. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  30. A: Mix in mono to get the leveling right. use template for mixing. if you'Re getting started.

  31. Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

  32. A: Gospel, Trap, Rnb/afro would be my top 3

  33. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  34. A: Composing would be my best skill.

  35. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  36. A: I like to surprise my audience. Adding opposite elements together but to keep it beautiful, like a distorted voice over a beautiful piano ballad with strings or bringing gospel chords or elements to a trap song. My whole process goes around surprising myself while producing. So any song that i get to work on might end with elements that wasn’t there that you would'n thought about it.

  37. Q: What's your typical work process?

  38. A: 1, I start by listening and studying who i'm working with and their reference 2. Prepare the session, (Uploading tracks , Routing, find key ad bpm if not giving) 3. Leveling and panning. Getting all the sound to work well together even before adding any plugin and to make sure that we have headroom. 4. Equing and compression 5. add of effects 6. automation 7. Listen 8. go back on each step and listen again until i love it. I usually take breaks around step 6 or 7 and it usually take me around 3h to do step 1 to 6 done. I sometimes split between days when it's a big project.
