SKEZ PRODUCTIONS

Biography

Name: Chris
Age: 22
From: Lund, Sweden

When did you start producing music?
Some kind of weird special edition of eJay opened my eyes to music producing. A friend of mine had the Reason software from Propellerheads, but due to my young age it was too advanced. I decided to try FL Studio (Fruity Loops 3.5.6 at that point) and downloaded the demo. I continued with FL Studio and use it to the day.

Do you use any hardware?
I used to have a MIDI-keyboard but due to bad support they never released drivers for Windows 7 so I had to sell it. Currently I have a Korg nanoKontrol which I barely use.

You have made alot of songs in different kind of genre, what kind of music would you like to focus on?
If I had to choose only one it would be acoustic music mixed with modern elements. Very much like Shpongle and Younger Brother. But since I enjoy doing music with a open mind I try many kinds of genres.

What bands or artists do you recognize as a inspirational source?
Most important is artists that seem to love what they do, and don't do it strictly for the money. I don't have a top list but I'll list a few (in order of oldest first)

What are your plans for the future?
I'm currently unemployed but looking for jobs, mostly in India which is where I'd like to settle down for the rest of my life.

Why India?
I spent 3 months travelling around India with my closest friend from january 2011 and forward. Ever since I was a kid India has fascinated me and when I got there I was overwhelmed by everything. The Indians are the most friendly people on the earth. It's like this; India, either you hate it or you love it, I love it. Most people I know wouldn't stand it for 2 days, but for me it's paradise.

What does your logo mean?
It's me embracing the three most important parts of life, the mind, the body, and the spirit (soul).
