This Logic Pro x 10 5 Feature is Fire

Making Music During Isolation

Making Music During Isolation

In this video I go over 5 simple strategies on how to keep the music going during Isolation. 

For those who don’t know me I’m a Guatemalan based in Denver Colorado. I started making music after going to a festival called Semana de Musica Avanzada. Were I saw a video on how the Guatemalan Electronic music had started. I had 0 musical training or experience.

So I decided to get Ableton live and a Midi Keyboard and figure it out. Soon after I figured out that it was not going to be easy. I saw music as a way to express feelings, emotions and connect with people. 

Now 10 years later I have released in labels like Global Underground, Babiczstyle, and Moody Recordings. I have been able to releases alongside artist’s likes of Robert Babicz, Xpansul, Jaceo, Jonas Tempel, Ben A and Rick Wade.  I Love blending  gritty organic sounds with Latin instrumentation, celebrating My Latin roots and bringing that  uniqueness to my production.

I served as Mentor for Redline ArtCorps a network of programs that support the arts at under-resourced schools in RedLine’s community of Five Points. By establishing strong connections between art, education, and the community, ArtCorps increases student’s opportunities for creative engagement in schools, allowing for a more rigorous and well-rounded education. I mentored Evan to learn how to produce music and channel his energy into music.

During my period with Redline, I understood that passing down knowledge has more impact and that Is why I decided to start my YouTube channel journey and help people interested in making music in a non-technical way with videos about music production based on my experience and mistakes that I've made in my music production journey.
