Read the Addison Sparks Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I’m a producer first and foremost; mainly dance music of many genres. Lately I’ve also been bridging into some hip hop stuff and even metal. I just make stuff that I like.
Also, over the last year I’ve met a ton of amazing artists, many of which I’m collaborating with so there will be many collaboration projects and remixes coming soon, which I’m very excited about.
I also DJ from time to time and I usually put up at least one mix every year with some new stuff I’m feeling and some classics as well.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I’m influenced by anything I hear that I like, and since I’m always listening to different stuff, my taste is constantly changing. I used to be all about the heavy bass and slamming drums, but that can only go so far before it all sounds the same. Now I’m more focused on making smoother, full melodic sounds. I still love the the heavy stuff and I still make it when I have a good idea, but going forward my focus will definitely be more on melodic stuff. Melodies are so fun and you can do a lot with chords to really make it interesting.
What´s new right now?
Right now I have a new-ish hybrid trap beat out now on FVYDID: https://soundcloud.com/fvydid/contrast Shoutout to the fam there.
I also produced a song with the homie Tha 5th Element coming soon on Diamond Element Records.
I haven’t really posted anything on my own Soundcloud in a while mostly because I’ve been waiting to release most of my stuff on labels to reach a bigger audience. However, if you wanna hear a sample of my new stuff, I have a DJ mix on the official FVYDID podcast hosted by ZaZa Maree. The first half of the mix is some really awesome bass heavy stuff mixed by the homie Tenwick and the second half is all unreleased songs/remixes by me:
