“Work hard on your music. Focus on that first before trying to go out and do shows. If you can play a set of mostly your own songs then you will stand out from the crowd”.

Initially by playing in bands and then evolving to learn how to produce. Opening the LA artist to a world of music opportunities! Finally settling on Tech House & House as his preferred genre of choice.

The reaction to this song has been amazing, he goes onto highlight. Opening the artists mind on trying new things.

Perseverance of a Dream
There’s defiantly been some moments in the past that have been very disencouraging, the artist explains. Highlighting how he always used to be very aware of what people would say and it would make the artist paranoid at shows to just ‘please the crowd’. However, once Noizu was born, the LA producer chose to stick to his guns and didn’t care what people thought or said. He points to the impact utilizing social media has had on his career.
“It’s great because you can be closer with your fans and get your music heard some much quicker than before. I think there is pros and cons to it though… people get judged on how many followers they have now and not on their talent”.
It’s important to have some kind of break into the music industry, he explains. Whether it’s hoping from label to label to get your name out or you support bigger DJs! For the producer, it’s important to find a sound and stick with it. Identity for Noizu is just as important as music.
The producer’s biggest challenge by far has been not giving up. Highlighting how the music industry can be incredibly up and down, so the best thing is to keep at it and not look back! The LA producer has some new originals and remixes coming out this year! #watchthisspace
