Today we’d like to introduce you to FaceGod Beats.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I started off as an in-home producer until I started promoting my beats on socials. I had a local DC artist with some clout at the time trying to work so I booked a session at a studio in the area. Not too long after I started working at that studio as a producer/engineer, 1000% had zero idea what I was getting into. Not too soon after that I got fired from my job at amazon and it snowballed into where I am now to be honest.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Definitely far from smooth. When I first started recording artists I genuinely just discovered what pro tools was maybe a month before that. I didn’t know anything at all for real. With beats you go with your flow, but when your engineering you build off the energy of the artists that you work with. So the entire flow behind the music really is dependent on you and the vision you set forth with that artist. I could barely record then on top of that I was jobless and just moved into a new spot. It got very crunchy. So it was legit sink or swim and i had to swim for a good minute. But really more than anything I don’t want people thinking I had some extraordinary struggle, mine is the same as everyone else’s in respect to their lives (mostly)
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
Production wise, I specialize in hip-hop/rap but not exclusive to it, I’ve made afro beats, R&B, Electro, and a little bit of rock. I feel what separates me from others is my ingenuity, there’s a lot of relationships in the business you will have but its about establishing a real connection with your artists to really understand how to gel and flow with whomever you work with. I can really work with people and make their best songs on a project because I’m not focused on placements, I’m trying to make real music that people feel not just hear.
Do you have recommendations for books, apps, blogs, etc?
Youtube was and still is my best friend. But more than anything I want to really thank my friends at my at my first studio Trackhouse (Joovie, Shawnthadawn, and Coltcaine). Youtube is cool but being in person and really beig able to see how other people work, flow, and interact with others was the best resource you could get. The power of proximity is one of the greatest assets to improving yourself.
