k?d Polish dance music producer & DJ k?d experienced success almost immediately after launching his artist project in 2015. In the time since, not only has he released official remixes for the likes of The Chainsmokers, RL Grime, Illenium, and others, but has also built a massive following for his own original releases and performed at many of the biggest festivals and venues in the world. Having used FL Studio from day one, we’re proud to welcome him to our Power User list. The Chainsmokers – Young (k?d Remix) Tell us about yourself and how you got into music. I am a Polish music producer and DJ based in Miami, Florida who goes by the name “k?d” (pronounced “Kid”). I’ve been into music ever since I can remember (especially dance music). I also attended band class all throughout middle school before I ever learned about music production software. How did you start using FL Studio & what does it mean to your productions? I started producing music when I was 14 years old — a month before I started high school. I always wanted to produce music when I was younger but I did not know how, until one day, I stumbled across a YouTube video of someone showcasing their song on FL Studio. I knew instantly then and there that this was what I had been looking for this whole time. I downloaded the demo of FL Studio and started trying to produce as soon as I could. The next day, I begged my mother to purchase a copy for me. She eventually gave in and purchased a copy of the Fruity Edition of FL Studio 9. After months of production, I later upgraded to Producer Edition and it all snowballed from there. I’ve been dedicated to FL Studio ever since and am glad I started on this DAW. |
k?d – Lose Myself (feat. Phil Good) Tell us about your work and some of the artists you have worked with. My work can mainly be described as Future Bass music, but I would also say that I am a multi-genre producer. I’ve worked with many artists such as Rezz, Steve Aoki, Wolfgang Gartner, and Kayzo. Tell us about your production environment and the gear you use. I am very much a bedroom producer — I prefer to work at home on my desktop computer. I like to keep it simple, so I don’t use much gear aside from a Volt interface, Genelec speakers, and Sennheiser HD 660S headphones.
What is your top FL Studio tip for up-and-coming producers? One of my top tips when it comes to music production would be to not over complicate your production process. As I get older, I find myself trying to simplify my music production, and it makes creating music so much more enjoyable. Sampling has been something I’ve been experimenting with a lot more now and I can see why so many of the greatest producers use it so frequently. k?d Links: |
