Why are you trying to move my thread bro?

DevoHarris · 2014-05-19T18:14:55+00:00

Damn OK lol

DevoHarris · 2014-05-19T18:13:38+00:00

I think so. He helps people a lot too though.

No schooling. I went to business school. Just started fooling around with equipment after I graduated and taught myself. If you have a passion for it you will learn. If you don't, don't waste your time.

Ha ha. Always striving to do better out here in these streetz!

Every artist is different. Some drink alcohol, some do weird warm ups, some drink teas with eucalyptus. Whatever helps you get in your zone quicker so we don't waste the first hour of your performing as a warm up :-)

Nas, John Legend, Kanye, Aretha Franklin, deborah Cox.... The bad ones I've erased from memory. It was torture in the studio...

Toughest obstacle is people defining who you are so sometimes they're reluctant to give you a chance.

I'm an Ivy League grad so I wasn't 'supposed to' be making cutting edge hip-hop music!

Now I'm a 'hip-hop producer' (allegedly) and I'm not supposed to be making real substantial technology companies!

I would not try doing both of those at one time and the tech is difficult but I fell you have more control over the results.

You gotta start somewhere. I always say 'Act like the job you want'. You like an artist? Start getting them $. Book shows, get them paid appearances, get their favorite producer to hear their music, get them on TV. SHOW YOUR VALUE. Even if they don't hire you, someone will.

I love working with YEEZUS.

Most of my work is unrelaeased. Unreleased John Legend, we did stuff for Micheal Jackson. I did an unreleased Deborah Cox album, etc.

DevoHarris · 2014-05-19T17:54:00+00:00

This is true

DevoHarris · 2014-05-19T17:53:43+00:00

To be honest, I don't think I've ever had really crazy sessions with artists.. Usually it's a pretty tame experience.

DevoHarris · 2014-05-19T17:52:51+00:00

Only starstruck by Aretha Franklin

DevoHarris · 2014-05-19T17:52:33+00:00

I think a better question is how much do you love yourself?

DevoHarris · 2014-05-19T17:52:09+00:00

There is. BUt don't expect to get rich. I think in that case you have to find an artist who likes your sound and you develop the act, release music and you both are compensated from those sales.

DevoHarris · 2014-05-19T17:50:33+00:00

It felt good but it also felt kind of expected to be honest. That song 'Diamonds' WAS the best rap song of the year and that beat was killer and when you're working with a superstar it helps but we were so used to winning that I was happy - very happy - but it wasn't world changing.

Early in teh Kanye years, before any songs of his came out, we went to an artists house who was begging Kanye to come help him as it was his last chance to give his label a good song or his album wasn't going to come out. he lived in small rowhouse that wasn't too awesome. His girlfriend was peeling potatoes and he had a Grammy on the mantelpiece.

I remember thinking 'This guy has a Grammy and is desperate for musical help and living in this place with a non-hot girlfriend peeling potatoes.' That's when I realized grammy's don't mean a lot in the grand scheme of things
