Arkitek MrJ on SoundBetter

What's going on everyone. Arkitek MrJ checking in and I want to thank you for stopping by. I have done music for MTV, VH1, BET, ABC, Oxygen and other Viacom networks. It is my job to deliver the sound that you are seeking. Let’s get your project sounding right. #arkitekmrj

I have 10 plus years of experience in producing and songwriting. I am also an artist. With shows such as MTV "Ridiculousness" and ABC's "The View" under my belt I can humbly say I have your back and will deliver what you are looking for. Before I became a producer I was an artist struggling to find the right sound so I understand the process. I can create the beat, write the song and record it as well. I pride myself in giving the best product possible and will work hard until you are satisfied. Creating an experience is the goal. #arkitekmrj

A1 producer, straight forward. No beating around the bush. Beats are always on point no matter the style, they guy work is working for him double time. I'm focused on a project with strictly Arkitek MRJ beats that I feel will take me to the next level. Haven't looked for any other producer for quite sometime.

Interview with Arkitek MrJ

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I worked on Liane V's project "Lessons On Love" a few years ago. I produced Movie, No Holdin Back which was written by Eric Bellinger and Doin Too Much feat Twayne. I was proud of those 3 songs because that relationship with Bruce and Midi Mafia lead to a lot of TV & Film placements. I never gave up and I take pride in that.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I am working a TV & Film songs for every catalog.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: I would recommend Skam R'tist. He is a great writer and delivers. I don't know Mickey Shiloh but I would recommend singers to get songs wrote from her. She is a super talented individual that does a lot.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital all day. Analog is super dope but digital can get all of the sounds and plug ins you need. Digital is portable and can be taken anywhere from your laptop to a mixing board.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I will create the vision you were looking for.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I create income off of something that I love to do.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: I usually get asked how much do I charge for beats. How can I get into TV & Film just like you? Can you make a record just like this?
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: It's a huge misconception that everything happened over night. It took time to build relationships as well as tune my craft. Still learning every day.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What sound are you trying to get? How do you feel about the ideas you have for your project?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: My advice is to have a clear idea of what you want. Direction is key to great music.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: I would take my laptop, my midi board, headphones, tooth brush and tooth paste.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have been making music for over 10 years. I have touched a lot of networks in Viacom and consider myself a TV & Film artist/producer.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: My style is versatile. I can go from pop to hiphop and kids music if needed.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I would like to work with Beyonce or Drake. They both bring something to a song that catches the listeners attention even if the listener doesn't even like them.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Have fun and be selective with the sounds you pick. 1 bad sound can ruin the whole beat. Also the mix of the beat can make or break the record.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I work on Hiphop & pop music. I do RnB music here and there.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Producing and songwriting are my main 2 strengths
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring the beat, lyrics that are catchy. The song actually makes sense.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I create the beat then write lyrics to it. Some times I write the lyrics then create the beat around the lyrics I wrote.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have a home studio set up that allows me to get the sound I need. I work on an AKAI MPK 249 midi board, Genelec monitors, Reason 10 and protools.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Timberland, Kanye West, 40 and Quincy Jones inspires me.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I provide instrumentals for an artist project. I also write and demo songs for TV & Film.
