Follower of the Week: @Sevdaproducer

Sev began his career at an early age growing up in the Bronx. He began his road as an aspiring rapper, by recording demo tapes. He and DJ L-Smooth recorded demos using 2 turntables and a tape deck. After several meetings within the industry, he realized he had to start laying tracks over original beats.

While working at a fast food restaurant, he began shopping around for producers who were available to make some original beats for him. Being he was only making minimum wage, he could not work with anyone on his level because the price was too high.

He discussed this issue with DJ L-Smooth, who wanted to help! He gave Sev a program called Fruity Loops and told him with a little work he could be making his own songs, top to bottom, with the program. Sev taught himself how to use the program and within days, it was second nature.

To test the value of his beats, Sev began to hold listening parties for local rappers. He received positive feedback and it was then that he decided being the next best Producer was his future. After deciding he was going to devote his money, time and energy into his craft, he bought some new equipment. In early 2000 he took his entire tax return and bought himself an MPC2000XL and ROLAND JD990 sounds module and got to work!

Here's a video that talks more about what he is doin these days...

Most recently, Sev produced a record for Lloyd Banks V5 Mixtape. He has a lot in the works right now and is making major moves but it is not my place to put his business out there!!!
