“Don’t think music, Feel music. That way you won’t just be a guy who makes beats.” —Rico Love

“I’m a producer/songwriter because I put songs together.  I take something that has potential and say that all we need is a bass line here..etc. and top of that I’m writing the actual song.” - Rico Love

He couldn’t have described me better.

When clients ask if I am a beat maker I always say, “Nah mayne, much more.” Ironically, many artists don’t get that. What they ask me to do is only a small snippet of what I can give to the track to bring it alive. This is the toughest aspect of being an Indie Producer. That’s why you have to build that brand then… they won’t even question you. 

These are the jewels I find when I am creating and seeking extra motivation to do what I do.

DBXXL WEEKLY MUSIC PRODUCTION TIP:

I was recently asked by a client “how long does it take to write, produce, and mix a song?”

I sat the client down and asked, are you asking this question due to budget and time constraints or just a general knowledge of what works in the music industry to make a commercially equal song? First they asked, what is a commercially equal song? So I told them equal to what you hear on the radio & gave examples such as Adele, Jay-Z etc. Their answer was that’s exactly what I want, a commercially equal song. So I asked, did they have the real budget to accommodate such and I heard crickets…lol
