Boi-1da
Boi-1da Tell us about yourself and how you got into music. I’m Matthew (Boi-1da), I was Born in Jamaica and moved to Canada when I was five, and grew up in Toronto. When I was eight, my mother bought me a Casio keyboard and by 15 I started using FL Studio. A few years later, I won three consecutive Battle of the Beatmakers championships, and from then on my career exploded.
Boi-1da in his studio Tell us about your music and yourself? I got started with music at the age of 15, a friend had told me about FL Studio, and I ended up going out and getting a copy of it and using it ever since. How did you come to use FL Studio & what were your first impressions? My first impression of FL Studio was the fact that it was very user-friendly and easy to understand, I learned the basics of it within an hour of use. |

Fireface RME USB external sound card with a pair of KRK 6’s & a sub woofer. I use a lot of virtual instruments as well, too many to name or to say any is a favorite though.
