Produced by ATG
I am ATG and I produce and engineer music.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started out playing guitar & drums in rock bands writing/performing with well-known acts. The recording process became my favorite part of being a songwriter and so I invested into my own setup. Eventually earned my bachelor's degree in audio production. I've had the opportunity to learn from amazing instructors and mentors that helped me grow as an audio engineer. As of now, I work with artists as a producer, recording, mixing, and mastering engineer. I also compose rap, trap, hip hop, R&B, and pop style beats that I sell on my website: https://www.atgrox.com
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I used to perform 2 - 3 times a week in a band called "Stupid Like You". The best memory I have of performing is when we opened for Bayside and Halifax. The venue was such a small venue! I believe the max capacity was 400 and the place was so over crowded that there were people just standing outside the front of the venue and the back alley where bands came in to load their gear. I'm pretty sure there was 600 - 700 bodies at the show that night. We could barely get through the crowd to set our gear up on stage but it was a great experience! Especially since Bayside and Halifax were bands that influenced us to write and perform. We got to open for two of our favorite bands in the same night! Definitely my fondest memory of being in a band.
