Music Producer and Guitarist

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: Right now I am working on a set of songs to release as my own songs.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: I understand the capabilities of using analog and how they sound better for a lot of different genres that require organic sounds. But I prefer digital mainly due to the efficiency. I love how I can emulate analog synths or devices to a certain degree on my laptop, which tends to serve the purpose, especially in my style of music.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: I love being able to create new sounds and beat with every request that I get. I also love that I get to improve my skills with each project that I work on.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: I ask clients (mostly artists) who their influences are, who they think they sound like, the type of music or sound they are trying to emulate, and what their favorite thing is about their music.

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

A: I would appreciate it a lot if they could explain in detail what you want. The more information I have the better I will be able to make something tailored to their needs.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: My guitar (to come up with ideas), water, an umbrella (to deal with the heat), laptop, and a chair to work with a little bit of comfort)

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

A: I have been producing music since 2014 when I was thirteen years old. But I have been making music and writing songs since before that. However, I have been trying to professionally make music for others only since 2020.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: My style is a lot of noise with pretty guitars combined together to form a song that slaps.

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

A: I would love to work with this hyper-pop artist named Heylog or 2hollis as I feel like I would really be able to understand the process behind their work and the clash in creative ideas would result in something mind-blowing.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: I don't think I am in a position to give music production tips. But one thing I have learned is that if something sounds cool to you (provided you aren't tone-deaf) then it probably slaps. Also, try to finish beats fast, or else you're gonna hate the sound of everything in the record.

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

A: I usually work on hyper pop as it is a culmination of all the influences that I have: Electronic, Hip Hop, and Metal. I have always loved the blend of Hip Hop 808s, and EDM synths as well as the distorted sounds that sound like they come straight out of a metal album.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: My strongest skill is sampling and screwing around with it to create synthesizers that sound unique.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I bring wacky experimental sounds which end up forming a unique soundscape to the beats that I make. This is something I love adding to a lot of the songs that I have made.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: Every beat I make starts with me experimenting with creating a sound by either sampling or synthesizing. This is followed by adding guitar glitches and forming an idea to work around. Once I complete my structure I begin working with vocals which I use to produce the music even more and make the final touches.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 interface hooked up to my ROG Flow Computer, I also have a pair of Presonus Monitors, an MPK mini, an Ableton Push 2, a Rode NT1A, and my trustee guitars.

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

A: I am greatly inspired by music producers like Skrillex and Porter Robinson, as well as Hop Hop artists like Tyler the Creator and Kanye. I feel like my sound however comes from a mixture of all the sounds and genres I heard growing up.

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

A: I usually make beats that I tailor to the needs and likes of the artist I work with. I also like to push boundaries and experiment with music so that everyone gets to emphasize their uniqueness as an artist.
