It’s easy to get lost in all the expectations that comes with being a “beatmaker”. I come from the perspective of being an artist who refused to chase after vocalist. This happened when I came across the booming LA beat scene in my early 20s. Before that I figured the only way to get my name out there was to produce a record for someone “big” or make Baltimore club music. Resources have been slim to none growing up in Baltimore but I found a scene that I could relate to on the other side of the US. I also started to go to a local music event called “Beet Trip” by a collective formally known as Llamadon. This was a safe place in a violent city where we could come together to share our art/voice and vibe out.
beatmakers have healing powers
Exactly what I needed to hear. Grabbing me push 2 as we speak :)
