A musical visionary and conceptualist. Bold concepts ground the framework for my creative pathway and highlight where I want to end up as a musician in the future. I am crafty with how I compose or produce a track, often taking a unique approach in my production. As for my singing, I have a melodic voice that harmonizes well when I stack my vocals.
From a young age, music has been a sort of second language for me. Instead of being traditionally trained, I spent most of my childhood being trained by ear. Today, I am a singer with a nearly 4 octave range, a talented percussionist, pianist, guitarist, and producer (any genre, I am versatile). All of my music I make myself, including the lyrics.
I love to work with others as I'm quite collaborative, and good at following the instructions given and sticking to the prompt. Morally, I am against the use of AI in my work, as I feel it takes away part of the soul that makes a work of art valuable. Anything music-wise you need me to do, I can do it.

Interview with cjy
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: My 2nd unreleased album "i'm on aux this time" was a 25 track project about self discovery and finding yourself in the midst of a love-hate relationship with someone. The concept album is split into four sections (symbolizing spring, summer, fall, and winter) and the ending track revealing the listener gets to decide whether they continue to play the album and keep me trapped in the cycle or allow me to be metaphorically free (Drawing huge inspirations from the works of Frank Ocean's "Blonde" and Kendrick Lamar's "DAMN." at the time). The primary genres for the project was indie, folk, dreamy, and bedroom pop. Overall, this project is a sentiment of my love for small details and storytelling within music.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I'm gonna keep it vague, but a trilogy consisting of two connected concept albums about duality and the third installment being a two disk deluxe with both records.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: A unique perspective.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: Well being a microscopic artist in the present (Written Date: 8/6/26) grand scheme of things, probably that I am uncappable or inexperienced. However, if you genuinely take a chance on me, I can promise you that it won't be a mistake.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: 1. What is the core of the project about? Or What do you want the messaging/theme to be? 2. How do you want me to approach by job? 3. Who is the intended audience? 4. What is your timeline and deadline? 5. Will you help provide any needed equipment, if necessary?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: If you're looking to work with me, come with an open mind and a willingness to explore new ideas. My goal is to create music that tells honest stories, connects emotionally, and leaves people with something meaningful long after they've listened.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: (Excluding cables and other technical necessities) 1. Microphone. 2. Piano. 3. Speakers. 4. Earpiece. 5. Water Bottle! [STAY HYDRATED]
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been making music all my life, but only in my Junior year at GISD did I start taking it seriously.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: In one word: Fluid.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Laufey has a wonderful voice and I think we would work wonders on a song together. Our voices together, especially later down the line with a more mature and polished sound, could make an unforgettable track to say the least.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: A few basic ones, but ear candy is HUGE for me! Another one some producers may overlook is making sure different audio track layers should be spread around the left/right side of the output for a fuller sound.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I would genuinely consider myself a jack of all trades when it comes to the production of music. Though, where I think I find myself shining the best is my harmonies
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My production, because I am good at keeping a beat and finding rhythm. Although, my vocal work isn't far behind.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: You will never know what to expect with me. I am versatile, yet have a sound that is still my own at the end of the day.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I work best when I am motivated to pursue what I love to do, which is music (naturally, of course). Therefore, I find myself constantly making new things and experimenting in different things I find interesting at the time.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Extremely Bedroom-Indie (My room includes a microphone, desktop and laptop with access to studio applications, electric keyboard, and guitars). However, I have access to a more professional studio setup.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Music is genuinely one of my favorite things in the whole world, so naturally I have a lot of inspirations. With a background in percussion, I love drummers like Ringo Starr (Beatles), Philip Selway (Radiohead), Bob Bryar (My Chemical Romance), and my personal favorite James Gilmer (My late grandfather). But if we're speaking overall, I would say I draw the most inspiration from artists like Frank Ocean, Björk, Tyler, The Creator, Labrinth, Frank Sinatra, Beyonce, Teezo Touchdown and [Prime] Kanye West (to name the primary ones).
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: For vocal work, I love to do different things with my voice. Effects, doing complex vocal runs, and harmonizing with myself or others, etc. In addition to singing, I produce as well. I am quite flexible with the type of production I offer (EDM, Club, Hip-Hop, Trap, Modern Classical, Pop, R&B/Soul, Folk, Country, Other). If you are interested in a soundtrack/score, ambient projects, or other ventures, I am--as previously stated--flexible and love to work with others!
