Read the NOIDE Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hi I'm NOIDE, electronic heavy hitter dj and producer from Colombia rocking since 1997. I started making beats at the age of 15 and I consider I was very antisocial because of the amount of time I used to spend in the attic of my grandparent's house trying to get a cool sound to show the world. As I noticed, I wasn't making it happen so started watching a tonne of music producers youtube videos in order to sculpt my production skills. I do belive working SUPER hard on what you love brings you satisfaction and desire of make things happen, do not give the f up.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I consider we all have to evolve and taste different things with our audience. From my perspective and as an example, I give my instagram audience content they're not expecting. I give them funny content, then photos of mine, then advices for music producers, different type of content. I swear… if I only talked about music, there would not be many fans.
It is a varied content and yes, it has changed over the years… I think none of us started manipulating as an expert social media. In my case I used to drop some random selfies for my instagram acount… that my friend is terrible for an ARTIST account, you need to look profesional in whatever you do.
What´s new right now?
Hey, do you like heavy electronic music? like snails, excisión, zomboy's style? Then you'll probably like what I have in mind, I post a track monthly and is not always the same vibe. So if it's friday night and you're at home, then check my soundcloud or my instagram account, if you're a producer too feel free to DM me, I reply, trust me.

Do you have good promotion tips for other musicians?
Be original, do not copy others. The society needs fresh content. Selena Gomez (as an example) has her own style and she doesn't copy anyone… she's big because of that.

What is your best tip for those who struggle with finishing their tracks?
Program an alarm in your phone and pin up a date to finish that unfinished track you need to release. It works for me because you can work in other tracks but the alarm tells you when to stop and pay attention to the unfinished one.
