Lil Durk – Barbarian (prod. by John Lam) Tell us about yourself and how you got into music. I’m John Lam, aka Pull Up Lam. I’m a Vietnamese American producer from St. Petersburg, Florida. I played a few instruments growing up, and then eventually was introduced to music production. How did you start using FL Studio & what does it mean to your productions? I started using FL Studio when I moved to Atlanta. I originally used another DAW when I started, but once I switched over to FL Studio, the rest was history. FL Studio allows me to work quickly and efficiently. I’m able to construct all my ideas with ease. Tell us about your work and some of the artists you have worked with. I’ve experienced a lot of my success working with Lil Durk. It has opened many opportunities and helped me perfect my craft. I’ve also worked with Rod Wave, King Von, Lil Keed, Hunxho, and many more. |
Lil Durk – Watch Yo Homie (prod. by John Lam) Tell us about your production environment and the gear you use. I frequently travel for work, so my production environment varies. As long as I have my laptop, headphones, and FL Studio, I can make beats anywhere.
