I'm a Music Producer specializing in EDM, Pop, and Hip-Hop. I release music under the alias Man Cub and have accumulated over 25 million streams on Spotify alone with my original songs and remixes I also composed royalty free music for Premium Beat for 7 years.

I have been producing music professionally for 9 years.

My main genres are EDM, Pop, Hip-Hop, and Orchestral (for short films or commericals). I'll let my work speak for itself instead of bragging, so let's work and make something great.

I include mixing and mastering in every project I work on, using top of the line equipment and plugins. I am happy to help with the project in any way I can.

Interview with Man Cub

Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both. Both are great and have their own good characteristics.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I just love making good music.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: Nobody has a clue what music producers do.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What feeling or emotion do you want to convey? What should the energy be like? Are you trying to express something; if so, what? Who are your main creative influences? Mainstream or alternative?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Come in having a creative direction and current musical inspirations. That way I know how to approach the song.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My piano, my acoustic guitar, a Juno-60, my drum samples, and a Moog Voyager.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: To be a music producer! 8 years.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Powerful, fun, and creative.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Skrillex because Skrillex.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: If a lead sound or vocal is too sharp, use the Fletcher-Munson curve along with some compression to soften it up without taking away its strength in the mix.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Dance/Pop/EDM/Electronic/Worship
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I have a really full sound! And the quality/clarity of the mix is paramount to me.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Creativity and thinking outside the box; but I can do commerical stuff too.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: The approach usually involves allowing myself to get carried away creatively; I go back and change all the minor details later. If I'm given creative direction by an artist or if I have some inspiration, the process is usually smoother. I typically start by writing something on the guitar or piano.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Professional home studio - professional KRK speakers, small mixing board, audio interface, mic/instrument preamps, Fender Telecaster, Prophet 12, Modular Synthesizer, Korg MS-20, and full size midi piano for songwriting.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: The Beatles are legendary songwriters, so they inspire me to write great music! Avicii has such a fun, timeless sound that I love. Porter Robinson inspires me to push my creative boundaries and to think outside the box.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Production - writing/producing a song from scratch to be sung over or to be used as an instrumental. Ghost Production - same concept and you get all the credit as if you created it. Beat Proudction - hip-hop beat from scratch for rapping over or to be used as an instrumental.
