Read the GTL Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I'm a 15 year-old producer from Washington, DC. I produce a wide variety of music, but mostly stick to producing house music as it's much more groove and chord-based.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
Some of my biggest influences include the artists on Ed Banger Records, which heavily inspired my house music. Others include Skrillex, Slushii, Diplo, Porter Robinson, Boys Noize, and Zedd. Some of my later influences included Ben Lepper, Rynx, Skylar Spence, and Zhu.
What´s new right now?
I have an upcoming track coming out soon named Palace! It'll be released in early February on The Rebellion, a new label some of my friends started up. I'll also be talking about new releases on my Twitter account, which you can find here: https://twitter.com/GTLOfficial

Are you a superfan of anyone? How did you become a superfan? Do you remember how you become a fan and what turned you into super fan? Have you ever thought about why you´re such a fan?

What was the biggest mistake you made when you started making music and what would be the number one tip you could give to a newcomer musician?
Jumping into the scene too quickly. If you're planning on becoming a musician, I recommend taking the time to find your sound and produce like a pro before releasing anything. I ran into that issue and felt a lot more disappointed over something that was really bad rather than focus on becoming better.

How do you personally discover new music?
[/gravityforms]
[gravityforms action=”conditional” merge_tag=”Yes” condition=”is” value=”Yes”]
Once you discovered new music, do you tell others about the new music/artist you discovered? If yes, how exactly?
“Once I discover new music, if I enjoy it, I'll share the link in some of my networking circles. If I really enjoy it, I sometimes personally send the link to close networking friends.

What is your number one tip to improve your music production or songwriting skills?
I recommend using tutorials. There's hundreds of amazing websites such as Academy.fm or Mr Bill's Tunes that can teach anybody, big or small, how to produce whatever sound they need. You may feel like it's taking too long for you, but you're still learning, and it'll most definitely get better for you in the end.
