Music producer:inside the mind
Inside the Mind of a Music Producer
Anthropology 101
“Life without music, I can’t go”- Steel Pulse. Could you live without music? To many people the quote above would be a true statement, myself included. Music is something that connects people from all over the world bringing joy when people are sad or simply listening because it’s a catchy tune, everyone loves it. Some people though go even further to where music is their passion, where they need it to live. Music for me is a love that’s starting to become a passion. When I was younger my musical tastes were molded by my father and brother. My dad was more into the classic rock, mellow jazz and r&b. My brother, who I looked up to a lot because he was 8 years older, had a wide variety of musical tastes that I kind of picked up. They range from oldies rock and r&b to hip hop, reggae, alternative rock, funk and pretty much everything in between. So when I decided to do my project on music producing I knew I had to go to my brother. He directed me to his longtime close friend who is an aspiring music producer, his name is James Kerivan he’s 26 and went to UNR for a couple years trying to decide on what he wanted to do in life. James helped me gain an insight to the culture and lingo specified for being a music producer. James grew up and avid fan and lover of music, but it wasn’t until his college years that he really started to have a passion for music. He recollects going to school not knowing what to pursue a career in, while as a hobby he and his friends had bought an audio drum board and electric piano making small tunes and beats trying to do something they enjoyed. It was at this time when James started to become really passionate about music. After a year or two he was starting to get more and more familiar with the instruments and tools he was using, and wanted to learn more about how people made these magnificent songs that people love all over the world.
