Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: MUSICAL INFLUENCES Lil Wayne - Carter 3 III, I Am Not A Human Being, Carter IV, I Am Not a Human Being II I doubt the idea of recording music would have occurred to me if it wasn't for Lil Wayne's hip-hop music. He truly is one of the greatest to ever do it. Eminem- The Marshal Mathers LP, Encore, The Eminem Show, The Slim Shady LP My first rap is written because of "8 mile" the movie. You may not hear his influence in my music but I can assure you his music had a huge impact on my reasoning to pick up a pen and beginning to rhyme words and statements. He's a true legend. Kanye - KIDS SEE GHOST, ye, The Life Of Pablo, Yeezus, Watch the Throne, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, 808s & Heartbreak, Graduation One of my favorite artist and always will be. You'll hear similar melodic intros, hooks, bridges, and outros that are heavily influence by Kanye on my album. Jay Z - The Blueprint III, Watch the Throne, Magna Carter... Holy Grail Magna Carter... Holy Grail the pinnacle of hip-hop music. I aspire to create that level of music one day. Beyonce - BEYONCE, Lemonade 2 of the greatest albums I've ever heard in my entire life. Again the pinnacle of urban music. The Production on both albums are not of this world. Check out my full list of influences here: https://www.wilmarckmusic.com/influences

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: Suppose you want a song that sounds like Drake, Kanye, or Future. First, we complete an assessment so I can get a holistic view of what you're trying to accomplish. I then write and record the song so that you have an easier time recording it yourself.
