Favorite Sample-Sharing Services?

Favorite Song You’ve Made?

“My cover of ‘Let Me Break Your Heart Again’. My friend and I made an album over last summer. We wanted to make a lofi-jazz-hip hop album. We covered that song, and it blew up instantly. It had around 10,000 views in a week. It’s honestly my best work.”

What’s your general process when you sit down to make a song?

“I don’t write that much myself, but when I do, I think of it methodically. What’s my audience, why am I writing it, how am I trying to make people feel? I then come up with a chord progression, and base it off things from other songs I like. I’ll take inspiration from the methods used by other artists to create my own songs. “
