Please introduce yourself real quick. Tell our audience about your background and how you go into doing what you´re doing right now.
My name is EMP3ROR P3NGUIN. I am a 16 year old DJ / Electronic Dance Music Producer. I live in New Delhi , India. I started producing at the age of 15. I generally make mashups and use softwares like Virtual DJ8 ,Serato DJ, Audacity [Bass Boosting] , FL Studios and sometimes Ableton Live. I generally make about 2-3 mashups in a month and use SoundCloud.com as a means of distributing my music all over the world. I am also trying to make my own music. I wish to get signed by some of the big record labels one day. I usually spend about 4-5 hours mixing songs and making new mashups. I make around 6 tracks a month and release them in a time span of 2 months. My DJ controller is Numark Mix Track Pro 3. The headphones I use are Audio Technica ATH – M20x.
Please tell our audience what projects have you been working on in the last years?
I generally play – Dubstep , Electro House , Hardstyle , Trap and sometimes Psy Trance. I started producing at the age of 15. I generally make mashups. I make about 2-3 mashups in a month. I am also trying to make my own music. I recently released my first edit on SoundCloud.com and one of the fastest growing EDM Producer [Nikki S] has actually liked one of my track. This is a very big opportunity for me and thus can help me to work with some of the biggest Electronic Dance Music Producers of all time.
What are you currently working on? Do you accept clients and and what kind of projects/work fits your profile?
I am currently working on some new mashups and remixes. I am best in making mashups but the songs have to be of a specific genre which I play. I think that genres like Hardstyle , Electro House and Dubstep really fits my profile. I am also trying to change my genres a bit. I am sure that I can make my career as a Electronic Dance Music Producer but as I am beginner so there is far more to learn hence I don't think I would be able to accept any clients right now. But I am sure that after some time I would be able to accept some offers and work with some biggest EDM producers of all time.
