I'm a 22 year old American Music Producer/Artist
Follow me @originalryder on Twitter, Instagram, & Soundcloud

I'm currently learning more and more about playing the piano/keyboard, but I don't play any instruments as of now.

I use a total of three, FL Studio, Logic Pro X, and Pro Tools, but primarily FL Studio (that's my go to DAW).

I use a 2008 MXL condenser microphone, a Pair of yamaha hs5 monitor speakers, 15" PA speakers, Fast Track duo avid audio interface, and a macbook pro

Mostly a lot of old music like late 80's to 90s rap and rnb, original movie soundtracks, etc. Music I grew up listening to in my household. And also alot of my own music.

This is a good one, Let me get 'Thriller' by Micheal Jackson, 'All Eyes On Me' by 2Pac, and 'The Chronic' and 'The Chronic 2001' by Dr. Dre.

My top 5 producers of all time are Dr. Dre, DJ Quik, Swizz Beatz, Timberland, and Pharrell (In no particular order) Those guys are my heroes because I feel like I have so much in common with them musically. They are all super producers that can produce a hit and have the ability to write and make their own music which is a gift. And one day I plan to join them on the all time great producer 'mount rush-more'

A Movie!! Thriller sounds, Big orchestra sounds, digital synths, just a bunch of great sounds that go well, but I like experimenting with new sounds each time I compose a new track.

When I'm not producing or making music I'm working, reading, or listening to music. So music is always around and a part of my life.
