Young L Productions
Hey wassup this is the Young L Prodcution page. It includes beats by me,Young L, along with songs by artists involved in the Young L production movement.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
For those who don't know my name is Lloyd Omadhebo. I was born in Oakland California and lived most of my life in Berkeley. I first started making beats with Fruity Loops. It started out as just messing around, but after a while it became an obsession. I used fruity loops for about half a year, just making beats and every once in a while selling them for a couple bucks.
After a while I decided I was serious about making beats and I wanted better equipment. I went down to a music store near my house with my dad and looked for something new. I had heard from a friend about MIDI keyboards and how I could hook one up to my computer, so I asked an employee about it. He told me I could get a small MIDI keyboard for $115, but he said that's not all I needed. He told me I had to have some program to channel the sounds from the keyboard to the computer. He told me my best bet was a program called Reason. The program wasn't cheap, but my dad spoils me so he bought it for me. I still use Reason now and have been for about half a year. I haven't worked with many people but here are a few: Franchise from nightrider records, Eight Jules, Bullet Proof, Beazy and a couple more.
Both of my parents used to be musicians. My dad played drums professionally and my mom played guitar professionally. I guess you could say music is in my blood. My dad recently gave me an MPC200XL but I haven't quite figured out how to use it yet.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
People who I produce do perform. They have performed at different locations, from local clubs in Alameda CA, to larger places like Space550(also in California).
