Paulie Smoke Beats is carving a niche in the Minnesota and national music scene. Diverse production style, years of experience and a unique approach ensures this to be a name that will be known for many years to come.Have you performed in front of an audience?I've played live, and it's an awesome feeling. It's also a lot of pressure. It takes you out of your comfort zone. My favorite place to be is, and always has been, the studio.
Your musical influences
My musical influences are vast. I have a very eclectic taste in music. My past as a blues guitarist is hugely influential. As far as genre specific influences, UGK, Michael Watts, Dre, to name a few. Crunk influenced me heavily. I listened to a lot of Psy Trance, and I'm not ashamed of using Arps and a lot of synths. That's not to say I don't come with organic sounding beats, but I think I was ahead of the curve on alot of stuff. Now I'm post dubstep crunk if that makes sense.What equipment do you use?
My software collection is beyond description (massive, and priceless). My go to controller right now is a Yamaha MM6. I'm sitting in front of a pair of CX8 monitors and that's pretty much the setup. It's all powered by a triple booting (OSX, Linux, Win7) i7 2600k of my own construction. I'm always expanding, as time and funds allow. I've had some setbacks, and I'm finally rebuilt to the point I was a few years ago. It's nice.
