this summer marks the 15 year anniversary of me quitting college and day-jobs and producing dance music / touring for a living. first it was just records that paid the bills. then gigs. lots of ups, lots of downs. ultimately.... wouldnt change a thing. i love this shit.

some artists who create their own sound get pigeonholed: fans want to hear that sound forever. it’s a creative dilemma, some artists do a 180, some keep regurgitating the sound. i’m merging: making something new but with my old fans in mind. it’s very rewarding when ppl get it.

A&R / Manager trick: Trick your artist into thinking they're releasing / writing singles, delay the release of said singles, then after they've written a bunch of singles, put them together as an album, and there won't be any "filler" tracks. Your artist will appreciate it too.

it’s interesting how acoustic instruments (piano, guitar, etc) “real instruments” - they have remained relevant and appropriate in dance music and EDM since the beginning and to this day. synth sounds & trends have come and gone, but the piano has never fallen out of style. 🎹
