Hey World!
My name is Kade Spear ( so is my artist name ), I am 16, from South Africa living my dream.
I have been producing for 4 years and I have never lost the passion for it! I make everything from Future Bass, Electronic, Trap, Hip-Hop
and many more. I'd say my fans know me the best from my Future Bass style and Trapy drums. As I said before,
I am from Africa, so I do have African beats influencing my music giving it a tribal/tropical feel as well. My earliest fans from SoundCloud (Link Below) will remember my House, especially Deep House, and Big Room traxx. I also do a lot of songwriting , mostly Pop and Hip-Hop/trap.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years? Do you feel that changing tastes over years as artistic growth? ?
My main influences will all be top 3 "Dance Producers" and some background info.
3.Flume
2.Martin Garrix
1.Skrillex
The Flume and Skrillex should be pretty obvious but there is more meaning behind their productions than anyone else I've heard.
Martin Garrix has Influenced me in the way that no matter whether you young/old you can show the world your art, and they can love it!
More about personal influences are:
I was introduced to Trance by my father and later on Big Room by my Best Friend, from the moment I heard Big Room I fell in love and wanted to make it all day and night! I am sure that Big Room is the main cause/reason for me starting to produce in the first place.
Ever since I was a child ( still am, but younger than now ) I've have had a passion for music, and I started learning guitar
at the age of 10. I like to try infuse Indie/Trap/African Style drums in all my productions because I want to keep some live elements in my music.
What´s new right now?
I have a new song that should be coming out soon called " sing for You) " and yes there is a random bracket and Capital letter, but that is for another time to explain.
I just put up a new Remix of Jon Sine's "Fall" if you want to take a listen.

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?
I'd say my biggest mistake would be sending labels my demo when I just started because a lot of labels will then listen to your song, and if it's terrible then they won't listen to your other songs you send them in the future in a hury or even at all!
My biggest piece of advice would be to never stop learning music and never giving up!
