Young Canadian producer 99Makaveli has already made an impact with several impressive credits in a number of genres, and garnered a substantial following on channels like TikTok for her production-related content. FL Studio is her DAW of choice, and we enjoyed learning about what makes her tick and why FL Studio is the DAW for her.

Tell us about yourself and how you got into music.

My name is 99Makaveli, a producer based out of Toronto, Canada. Music has always been influential in my life – particularly because I grew up in an environment surrounded by family members who are passionate about it. I started to learn about music production during my senior year of high school after watching videos of Wondagurl and London on da Track, showing their creative processes. Once I began learning, I fell in love with producing and 5 years later, that feeling hasn’t changed.

How did you start using FL Studio & what does it mean to your productions?

Initially, I used a different DAW; however, many producers within the community encouraged me to try FL Studio. Once I began using FL, I realized it elevated my workflow – especially in terms of drum programming. Since then, it has become my primary DAW.

Tell us about your work and some of the artists you have worked with.

I enjoy producing a wide range of genres, such as R&B, Trap, Drill, and Dancehall. This diverse range has allowed me to work with a variety of artists, including Bipolar Sunshine, Chip, 917 Rackz, Young Devyn, and Numidia.
