If something is simple that does not necessarily mean that it is boring. Sometimes simplicity creates beauty, especially when it comes to music. Not cramming too many elements or sounds into one drop or making a track too in a listener’s face can be the difference between an absolute banger and a flop. This is exactly the design that our featured artist today, tsou, approaches all of his music. With his easy to listen to, lush, and full-body production style, each track naturally creates its own free-flowing climaxes and cascading drop unlike any other. Today we have teamed up with our friends over at Muti Music to premiere tsou’s latest masterpiece, “What You Do”. This track, like others, has a simple yet high-energy twist, bringing an infectious energy to every measure. This track has a unique flair that listeners can only find from this artist’s sound design, which will have both new listeners and long-time fans captivated. Let’ take a deeper dive into why we are calling “What You Do”, a certified bop.
“What you do brings the beat back with a spicy twist.” -tsou
Diving Deep w/ tsou
1. How did you decide to get into making music? Was there a certain event in your childhood/life that made you stop and realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?
I got super inspired to take up djing/producing after my first show (Borgore), but I’ve played instruments my whole life. That show was pretty wild, but honestly, I can’t remember a time I didn’t want to pursue a career in music. Music has always been my rock. Even if I hadn’t chosen to pursue it as a career, it would’ve continued to be a fundamental part of my life.
2. What has been the biggest difference you’ve noticed when first starting off as an artist vs now after experience playing events, doing releases, etc?
I’m way less nervous to play my own stuff live ahah. Really, things haven’t changed a whole lot. Playing bigger shows and getting more plays / label releases has been awesome, but it’s really similar to how things started, just on a larger scale. Recognizing that has been great, and has helped me to enjoy the smaller stuff. Some of my favorite shows were house parties early on in my career!
3. You definitely have a very unique name for your project. Does the name have a specific meaning or derived from something in your life? Is there a story fans might not know about how you came to this name for your project?
4. What has been the biggest lesson you’ve learned since you started making music? Do you have any words of wisdom for aspiring producers hoping to follow in your footsteps?
Music is a marathon not a sprint. Be kind to yourself, stay consistent, do what you can as often as possible, and enjoy the run. Also, a really great quote I found recently: “Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music.” –Sergei Rachmaninoff
