Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hey! My Name is Danny Couture. I am a music producer and DJ based out of Las Vegas, Nevada. I love to produce modern electronic music and beats! I have been making music for about 17 years now and I can say its the only thing in my life that has kept me going. I started playing guitar when I was 10 years old and that’s where it all started for me. I played in several hardcore, pop punk, and heavy metal bands through my high school years and early 20's. After having difficulties of bands always breaking up, different schedules, or real life just getting in the way of us professionally playing, I decided to take my music carer into my own hands and bought a copy of FL studio. I have been producing now for 4 years and have gone through several different waves of genres I like to produce.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
My influences all originally stem from Rock, metal core, and pop punk. A really big influence for me is The Postal Service I used to have their first full length album Give Up on repeat pretty much my whole high school career. Most people don't believe me when I tell them I used to play in metal core bands because my music is much different now. I have grown a huge passion for electronic music especially future bass because of the RnB and Jazz influences the whole genre contains. But the truth is I love all music and have never wanted to conform to one genre and try to continually push myself to reach outside of the box when it come to musical genres.
What´s new right now?
I have recently released my future bass series exclusively on SoundCloud. The three-song playlist is entitled "Rise" and resembles a glimpse of the musical content that my team and I plan to create over the following months. We’re currently in the studio continuing to push out more music for an EP release later in the year and plan to focus on shows after the release of the EP.
