How long have you been producing music and how did you learn?

Five years. I learned on YouTube, just having fun fucking around!

What DAW(s) do you use and why?

I use Ableton now. Mainly just to get a fresh ear and not feel like I'm doing a routine, ya know?

What are your favourite pieces of gear and why?

I don't really use gear like that, just a Bluetooth speaker and my laptop.

What are your favourite software plugins and why?

I would say Arturia, Abysnth, Omnisphere, and Gross Beat - I just like the alien feel to it!

How would you summarise your approach/workflow when creating a track?

Just comes straight from the soul, whatever happens.

What resources do you use to improve your craft?

I surround myself with people that are better than me honestly; veterans or really good, talented people.

What is the last YouTube tutorial you watched that you would recommend to other Re-Ex Members?

I watch all of KBeaZy's tutorials for producing.

What knowledge or advice do you wish you'd learned earlier?

Being okay with the understanding that I don't know anything. And by anything, I mean, like spiritually and just as in me being a being. Living in the moment and present. 

What challenges related to making music do you face and how do you overcome them?

Mainly tuning everyone out, not caring about everyone's opinion about your music or what you gotta do. I'm learning to just do everything from heart and with pure intentions. 

Can you share any killer tips or techniques?

Yeah, ask God to give you wisdom and you'll learn anything you want quicker. 

Do you try and get feedback or suggestions to improve your music? If so, how?

Not really, but I've been fucking with Arcade lately.

Do you try and get feedback or suggestions to improve your music?

Yeah, I ask my close friends who used to be part of some of the biggest careers what do I need to do. Mainly their response is "you're exactly where you need to be". 

Which track are you most proud of and why?

The one I just did with TheHxliday, he's gonna be big and the creative process is on my vlog on YouTube

Has RepostExchange affected the way you make music? If so, how?

Yeah, it reminds me of how many people want to make music and I'm very grateful they give me a shot to see what people really think.
