The Nuance Magazine team got to catch up with the Producer, one of the winners of 'The Cut'. In the exclusive interview, you will find out more about his life, his experience on ‘The Cut’, and creative processes in front of a camera. It's a special Q&A for a dope producer that needs to be on everyone's radar.
What's the biggest challenge you had to overcome in music? On the Cut?
The biggest challenge I’ve had to face in music is getting the music out there. Figuring out the best ways to release it in order to get proper visibility. The biggest challenge of being on the cut was creating something from scratch with someone I’ve never met before. It was a fun process after we got to know one another. The time limit was also a little stressful, but it made it an enjoyable challenge.
If you didn't become a musician, what would you be doing right now?
If I didn’t become a musician, I would pursue my own business selling products or working with kids as a tutor.
Describe the feeling when you found out you’d be on the cut
I initially didn’t want to make music on tv at first and I’m also too shy to do it. I was excited when I found out I was on the show and at the same time was asking myself what did I get myself into?
What was it like collaborating with people you had never met?
It was fun to collaborate with strangers. Music is a universal language so it wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. Having a band and musicians at hand also made the process easier.
Did the presence of a camera crew add pressure to your creative process?
The presence of the camera crew made things a little awkward at times because it wasn’t something I was used to.
What was it like working with OG Parker?
Working with OG Parker was really cool, he’s super down to earth and made the experience meaningful and fun.
What are your plans after appearing on The Cut?
Moving forward I plan on working with mainstream artists to make sure I can make an impact on the music in today’s world. Also, I plan on releasing my own projects that I am self-producing.
