A lot of artists who have a certain style are expected to more or less keep doing their style. It’s so easy to get into that rut of production.

Nothing disturbs me more than the glorification of stupidity.

Some people don't understand that sitting in your own house alone in peace, eating snacks and minding your business is just priceless.
Tom Hardy
As a producer you need patience, you can’t always rush things so you need to allow time for the magic to happen. This can take a bit of time, or you may have to come back to something if it’s not quite there. You know when it’s right though!

Every now and then there might be a beat someone turned down that I have as an unused beat. But everything that predominantly matches the artist in my 30 years of doing this, it was me walking in and sitting there with no drums, no samples, no nothing, and making a beat on the spot.

To make an embarrassing admission, I like video games. That's what got me into software engineering when I was a kid. I wanted to make money so I could buy a better computer to play better video games - nothing like saving the world.

For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Steve Jobs
