Your musical influences
I grew up around music and come from a family of singers and musicians. Rap Music: Dr. Dre is one of the last truly creative producers around so I really enjoy the way his music has evolved over the years. Kanye West and Jazze Pha are doing a great job also. And don't forget Tone and Rock Wylda! I grew up playing in Marching bands and classical ensembles. I play trumpet and just about every other brass instrument plus I can read and write music. Jazz: I love straight ahead jazz and a little of the contemporary stuff too. I have every Miles Davis song ever recorded and most Coletrane cuts too. I prefer the old stuff, Bop and Cool! I like some Gospel Music and write songs for Gospel artists. R&B I'm into smooth R&B from the old school as well as the more urban R&B. I listen to all types of music and try to blend different flavors when I am creating tracks. When I watch movies, I pay close attention to the music. The placement, volume, chord structure, intruments, etc... all make a big impact on the movie. Sometimes I watch with the sound off and think of my own soundtracks. (Weird!)
What equipment do you use?
Roland XP-50, Pro Tools, Digital Performer, live bass, drums, guitars, pianos for high-end projects
Anything else?
Ive learned to recognize what sound gets people movin. In a party or club environment, different people are attracted to different blends of sounds, tempos, etc...
