Hi, Jahaan!

  1. Which songs did have the greatest influence on you, for your musical vision?
  2. What would you recommend to develop creative thinking for music production?
  3. Is old school hip-hop the method to creation or just the chronological interval?
    Regards, Vlad.

1.) I don’t believe particular songs had an influence on my musical vision. More so particular people, or musical eras. I was always more a fan of an artist or an era of music, ranging from J.S Bach to Drake. All of the artists and creators I liked had an influence on my musical inspiration. Not just one song or a few songs.

2.) To develop “creative thinking”, I would just recommend using whatever inspires you most. For me, inspiration normally fuels creativity.

3.) I normally try to let whatever inspires me fuel my method of creation. Sometimes I hear a song and want to create something with the same energy…sometimes I’m practicing a piece of music and the theory of it can inspire me. It’s case by case, day by day honestly. I try not to allow myself to be boxed into one way of creating.
