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

I have been producing music for over 10 years on and off, I’ve fallen in love with basic sound manipulations to start off, like pitching or speeding up and down different things like voices and songs, from that I moved onto drum machines and synths, my love for sound design has only grown over the years.

What DAW(s) do you use and why?

I use FL Studio because it is what I have always used since version 7, I’ve tried using other DAWs but I’ve found that my workflow has always been superior using it from my own personal experience.

What are your favourite pieces of gear and why?

Not already had many opportunities to use analogue synths but I own a Roland TB-3, a TR-909 drum machine and an Oxygen 49 keyboard with mixer, knobs and touchpads. To be honest I would like to try out more hardware because a new piece of equipment helps the creativity flow.

What are your favourite software plugins and why?

Serum and FabFilter stuff like delays and reverbs is the only aftermarket stuff I use regularly; I do use others but only once in a blue moon. Both are very powerful and the potential is endless once you know them inside out.

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

Anything is possible, start with an idea like a drum groove or melody and go from there.

What resources do you use to improve your craft?

In The Mix and Close Contact tutorials and other random YouTubes are a must.

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

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

Wish I had taken it more seriously in my teenage years.

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

Writer's block is a big one for me, the best way to overcome it is to take a break and not stress out about it, the buzz you will get when you're over it compares to nothing.

Can you share any killer tips or techniques?

Keep your project colour coded and organized, you never know when you'll revisit it with a fresh idea.

Do you use any online tools to assist with the production process?

No, can’t say I have.

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

Networking with artists producing similar music and asking them to learn to mixes or masters is a great way for you and them to grow.

Which track are you most proud of and why?

It has to be 'We Run The Noise'. It has collectively on all versions racked up over half a million streams.

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

RepostExchange is a game-changer for underground artists that want to get their music heard and meet interesting people with similar music interests. I have gained over 2000 followers over the past year just by using this site and networking with the artists on it.
