SAE Magazine 12-2

Every musician has something that inspires him, what inspires you when you create new music? I always and instantly get inspired by a beautiful day, sun, sea, nature. I can also find inspiration in positive people, artists, beautiful woman, enemies and jealous people. My wife also inspires me, ei- ther when we have fun and are joking around or when we fight about stupid things in the kitchen for example. Overall it’s safe to say that the joy of life gives me inspiration. As a student at SAE Institute Ljubljana, how does the knowledge you gain affect your musical development? Well the reason I decided to enrol into SAE was very simple. I live music, all my life is about mu- sic and I love constantly developing my skills in creation and productions. SAE helped me to learn how to deal with and record live musicians, which besides recording vocals, I’ve never done. No mat- ter how long you are in the music making business, you can always learn new things and tricks and I am really happy that I decided to invest in the SAE degree. My plan is also to complete the Bachelor of Arts Degree at SAE. Besides that I’ve meet a few nice artists over there and already signed some to my label. It is a pretty much natural environment for me. Any future projects we should keep an eye on? Most definitely! As mentioned before, we are making deals and signing artists from all over the world, which can only help us spread the music and grow. With Johnny Primed now taking care of the London/UK end this is certain to continue. So rather than just certain projects, I think that Black- soul Music Records will be overall interesting to watch. Regarding my own productions, at the moment I am working on a couple of compilations for other labels and have temporarily decided to pause remixing and focus on my own material. I have so many ideas and not that much time to handleitallsoit’stimeforBlacksouloriginalwork. Any advice for new aspiring DJs and producers? Be yourself, follow your heart and create music that makes you happy, screw the trends. Success doesn’t come overnight because there is a certain path you have to pass on the way to it. Be a good person and respect others. Production-wise, master one DAW instead of trying to learn too many different ones, use what suits you best because at the end the result matters, not how it was done. n Blacksoul online: For more info about Blacksoul feel free to visit http://www.blacksoulmusic.com and you can join Blacksoul on Facebook @ http://www.facebook.com/blacksoulmusic Infobox 50 People & Business // Blacksoul Index
