@ProdArvid Interview – @Abude.521
Music often starts long before we ever hear it; Arvid knows this better than most.
Arvid, a music producer from Germany, has worked with major artists such as Chris Brown, Money Man, and Luh Tyler.
What’s your favorite song right now?
23 and 1 – Mozzy & YFN Lucci
How did you first get into music production?
My bro had an old iMac. We cooked on GarageBand during COVID when we were bored but inspired.
Who were your biggest musical influences early on?
MexikoDro, Migos, XXXTentacion, Polo G, Pyrex Whippa.....
How would you describe your production style compared to other producers? What makes YOU stand out?
I’m one of the most versatile beat creators right now. I got a high-quality sound in almost every genre of music.
What was the moment you realized producing could be a career?
Two years ago, when I calculated how I could make numbers when I’m out of school, so maybe I could create a little living. I was 17 at that time and in high school.
Seeing that you have worked with a lot of major artists, what tip would you give a producer that’s chasing placements?
Don’t chase the placement. Have genuine relationships with the people and try to make high-quality beats in a high quantity. Make sure to schedule your send-out in a unique but simple way to stand out.
What does the business side of being a producer really look like? What tips would you give a producers in terms of buisness?
Its a nasty hustle if you are not a big name already. Corrupt industry. Most is just depending on YOUR work you put in. No results no money. So how do you force results? My advice is focusing on the good music and the relationships not the business itself. It will help you make better contacts.
What placement or project are you most proud of, and why?
Im really proud of producing for Chris Brown although i didnt hear the song yet. Its my biggest placement. Just showing me how far you can make it. Chris Brown is one of the biggest artists in this streaming generation.
What’s next for you? Any projects or placements you got on the way?
Next is building a insane beat catalog i started building last year. High quality hits in every way. Placements on the way? Never know i got 15+ Songs by major artists in the pipe you never know when they drop. Otherwise i just want to achieve more greatness in my production and become better at making good friends in this weird industry.
