XMEAN360 was great to work with and stayed 100 percent professional throughout the process. He was able to deliver a fire track in the end which made the production "whole" and I cannot wait to work on our next project. Oh and to top it off If you need some fire vocals on your stems look no further than XMEAN360! His vocal chops are strong and his flow is smooth!

XMEAN360 is a very timely communicator and conducted business very professionally. He recorded a rap verse on my record and made it happen very quickly--literally within an hour or so. Also possesses good sensibility around adding ad libs to enhance the verse.

Interview with XMEAN360
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I recently completed recording for a song that’s going to be used as the soundtrack for a popular show over seas. I collaborated with the composer and wrote the lyrics to the theme song
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Sometimes my customers have a certain sound in mind that they want to mimic. Some come to me and want me to rap like a certain artist. I tell them each artist is unique and has their own style. It’s impossible to mimic another artist perfectly. The best results come from me being authentic.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: The biggest misconception about what I do is people think it’s easy to write a song. Some songs are inspired right away by the beat or the story I want to tell. But sometimes I get writers block and it takes a little longer to be inspired. It’s definitely harder than it looks.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: I have had the pleasure of collaborating with many talented artists here on SoundBetter.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I love my job. I love the creativity writing allows me to express. I like being able to switch up my styles based on my mood and the way the music speaks to me. I can go smooth and slow with an R&B twist, or I can switch it up and be rough and angry with my lyrics. It all depends on the beat I am working with.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is my ability to come up with catchy memorable hooks, and creative word play in my verses. I also have a very deep, distinctive, authoritative voice. So for certain tracks that are looking to add a WOW factor, they hire me.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: The most common work I do for my clients is Ghost Writer. They hire me to write their songs. I use catchy hooks and creative word play.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: If a customer is looking to hire me as a musical provider, they are guaranteed to be happy with the final product. I take good care to meet all the requirement of my clients. I go above and beyond for my clients. My advice would be to be as clear as possible in your vision for your song, so I can create it for you. I have so many repeat clients for a reason. It's because the tracks I produce for them are hits.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: At the moment I am working on a new mix tape for my rap group "UNO". Uno stands for "Under No Obstacles". We are writing and recording tracks to feature on the mix tape. I also have a few live performances coming up. I am also working with an established author to turn one of her novels into a theater production, and I am helping her write the music for her characters to perform.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I promise my clients a product that they are pleased with. I offer revisions if they are not happy, until I produce a song that they are happy and proud of.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: How will this song be used? Do you want explicit lyrics? Do you have specific phrases that you want used in your song? What is the time frame?
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: If I was stranded on a desert island and I could only have 5 pieces of gear, I would have a knife, a source for fire (like matches or a lighter), a rope, a tent, and a lot of drinking water.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have been writing, producing, and performing music for over 10 years. It is my passion. I love the story telling aspect, and the complete creative freedom I have when making new music. My goal was to produce music that touches people, that tells a story, and most importantly that makes an impact.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I would describe my musical style as smooth hip hop.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: If given the opportunity, I would love to work with "Rocko". I admire his work.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: This is what I am working with in my home studio. -Computer -DAW -Audio Interface -Microphones -Headphones -Studio Monitors -Cables -Microphone Stands -Pop Filter
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: My biggest production tip would be to master your musical genre, but have an open mind to experiment with other styles of music. As an artist, I love it when I am given opportunities to create music in other genres. It keeps me creative, and I love a challenge. I feel like it also enhances my own music, because then I can incorporate new styles into my tracks and deliver something unique to my supporters.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I typically work on Hip Hop and Rap songs. I have experience though producing music for other genres as well. I have worked with R&B, Reggae, Soul, Gospel, EDM, House, and Rock. I can work with just about any genre of music.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring passion and creativity to every song I produce. I have a lot of life experience, and draw from that to write my songs. I pay attention to the musical composition, and the over all "feel" I want for my song. The music determines my flow. What my lyrics say is just as important as HOW they are being delivered. I want my listeners to really connect to my songs.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: When I am working on making a new song, I typically like to start with the beat, or instrumentals first. The beat dictates the flow of my lyrics. Once I have a feel for the beat, I start to freestyle lyrics. The hook needs to be catchy. After I record the main vocals, I go back in and record background vocals and ad libs. Then I mix it down to audio perfection to create a great song.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I look to myself as inspiration. I am my own man with my own style. My only inspiration is to grow and be better than I was the day before.
