As far back as I can remember I wanted to be the person making the songs that rappers rapped to. This was probably back in 1998. I didn’t start doing it until after high school and even back then, I was still learning about music as a whole, before I even started creating it. It started in 2007 with loops. Lots of drum loops and instrument loops. The biggest critiques I faced back then, and sometimes still do, is that the song doesn’t “Go Anywhere”. I was frustrated hearing that back at the time because I didn’t have creative control over the sounds. I was only able to make what I could make. And that’s still true to some degree. I went from loops to chord progressions starting with 1-4-5s a lot because it was a staple of American Music for the last 60 years. Then it became how to make the songs more interesting, suspended chords, dominant chords, and ultimately more satisfying resolutions. But still, you have to add a catchy or at least appropriate bassline. I struggled here for many YEARS. What notes? How do I make a groove? Is it outlining the chord progression? Until I had the discipline once to listen over and over and over until the bass line sounded perfect melodically speaking. Listening to those mixes from 2007 I hear a big difference. Namely, the knowledge and equipment wasn’t there. As of that point, I knew I was a producer though. I would tell people “I’m a producer” and of course there were people who knew me then and said “Why do you tell people that? You’re not a producer!” #producer #producers #challenges #hardwork #perseverance #resume #biography #spotify #spotifyartist #subjectrelative #produced #outrightproductions #albums #album #single #singles #worcester #worcesterma #producerart #producercredit #goldenera #hiphop #rap #rapper #rappers #newmusic #newproducer #worcesterproducer #hiphopproducer #akai (at Worcester, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_m5fDGDbR2/?igshid=6ip21g14jbr5
