Endorse DeShawn "DeeJay" JohnsonI recently had the pleasure of working with DeShawn and WOW - his work is stellar! We collaborated on an EDM track and he's clearly a master of the genre. The production was killer, his mixing skills are top-notch, and, maybe most importantly, his communication was on point from start to finish. Highly recommend any artist work with DeeJay!
Interview with DeShawn "DeeJay" Johnson
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Uniquely between punk rock, Lofi hiphop, and funk
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I would love to work with Kevin Abstract or Stevie Wonder or Mia Archieves these are my top three influences currently.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Don't over think, get the idea out and recorded and come back (if there is time) and refine. Don't fix it in post but have a stage where you just get creative and put pen to paper, or midi to timeline and get what's in your head out without over thinking too much.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I have been working on everything from Classical sound tracks and punk rock to Neo-Soul and trap rap.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I think my strongest skill is my passion. My passion to learn, to achieve greatest, and to help others on their path to greatness.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring an excellent and well trained ear, years of technical knowledge and experience, a strong command of almost every DAW out there, and a creative and positive outlook and strategy. When you send me a project you don't just get by the book professional quality you get a musician and audio lover who has years of experience growing an excellent taste in music from every genre out there. You get a creative soul and a collaborator with a positive outlook. Some people have described me as a ray of sunshine in a dark windowless studio haha.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: First I listen to my reference tracks to get my mind in the correct space. After that I take a few notes about what I would like to do and what I hear. And once that is all set I usually have a solid plan to get to where the artist or myself wants to be in the song. Which helps as I have a road map I can general follow preventing myself form getting lost in the weeds.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work out of a studio called Authentic 100, At A100 we have two dedicated rooms that have invested over 100,000 dollars into sound treatment and design to make the space perfect for audio engineering. Along with that we have it stuffed full of equipment from Neumann TLM 103s all the way to your most basic SM58s mics to capture every kind of sound we can. Stocks with 2021 M1 chip iMacs and various monitoring systems (My room currently has HS8s) Every plug in you could possibly imagine as well as Apollo Twins interfaces and Never preamps and a LA2A leveler clone.
