Q-We see "type beats" taking over the internet and are being used by mostly upcoming artists and some artist that are actually mainstream as well. But I'm sure like us other people wonder how producers are able to create instrumentals based on a

certain type of artist. Speaking from your point of view how would one be able to come up with melodies based on the artist alone?

WIZXRD TAYLOR- "Is this an interview question to be used for a post or blog or is this just your personal self asking"?

AOTR-"Questions we ask can be posted if agreed upon the artist, producer or business owner but if the other party is agreeing on having there comments posted then it will just be knowledge for self. But the goal is to give each artist or entrepreneur a chance to shine without being charged a fee. So yes..this would be a question for a post and blog I have a background in journalism and saw an opportunity to give Artist a place to share thoughts and content...professionally"


WIZXRD TAYLOR - "Understandable..

Either way. Jimi Hendrix, Prince, J Dilla.

Creative who have lived and died by their craft for the purpose of doing their craft. Although type beats is a business pursuit to truly do it at its finest is when you do it for the unknown and the underground talent. In order to do it, you must yourself have an understanding of cultivation, of growth, a unique comprehension of being an artist. I am fortunate to have both.

I took my time day in and day out learning my sound in the many avenues I could take. I have explored every angle I could possibly think of and in spite of that those angles created more angles...and I have more to explore. Now I work with other artists and creating their melodies and angles that have yet to be tapped into. We as artist mimic, but we as producers we enhance, we provide the water and the sun. I am a producer. I don't water trees. I work with the seeds until I can get a treehouse. In other words, listen to this artist music and if they don't have any fine ways to work with them, do Zoom calls make the beat on a spot for them let them hear your sounds let them say stop let them say this make them reei like they're in your body making the beat be the shell be empty be open to absorb what they are telling you and what their sound is. Absorb it don't mimic, absorb and feel it. when you mimic it feels as though you're doing something they've already done but when you absorb you understand, you feel and you see things in your own perspective and you regurgitate that and you give them your perspective, not just copying and pasting their own, That's why type beats don't work on YouTube because they will never work with those artists. They just copy and paste what they've heard already versus actually working with the artist and making something they want."

AOTR- "That's truly understandable some producers are out there to get the bag which is ok at times but you never really know who actually has an ear and a feel for the music as one... Nice catching up with you for a second Preciate your time wiz!
