Kid Sublime, Amsterdam based producer, is a close friend of mine and an awesome producer. From the very first time I heard a track I was hooked. His music is a mixed of neo-soul and hip-hop. I had the opportunity to get in touch with him for a brief Q &A. So here ya go! Grrrrr!
1. What category of music would you place your works in?
-Everything I produce is soulful... from my house tracks, hip-hop tracks, and the ballads I write...so I guess its Soulmusic...
2. How is you music different from other in your genre?
-I do a lot of different things..House records, rap records, ballads...it's definitely funky and soulfull...the production has a basement edge to it, since my studio has been in a basement for 11 years..LOL!!
3. Wht is you creative process?
-On a production level...I usually go find a good record to work with, put it in my MPC 3000 and take it from there. I play a lot of keys, drums, and I sing the hooks.
On a songwriting level...the song kinda comes to me...while playing my piano. It feels like a spiritual thing to me.
4. What's something about you that your fans might not know?
-Ummm... I stopped smoking weed for 3 years!! LOL!!... I'm also working on my singer/songwriter album...just me and my piano.
5. As a musician who did you look up to from your childhood?
-Definitely Van Morrison, James Taylor, Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis....man...tooo much!!!
