Diving Deep w/ Skinny Limbs & Yoko
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 was djing for fun back in college and got hooked on the idea of one day DJing a whole set of my own music. I had always been in music spheres growing up, I was in band in elementary/middle school and dabbled with guitar for a few years as a kid but I never really found my drive with live instruments. It wasn’t until 6 years ago now that I opened up Ableton and truly felt like I was engaging in an activity that I was born to hone and evolve with.” -Yoko
A core memory that stands out to me is when my dad bought a MPC500 drumpad in 2006. I remember him hooking it up to some speakers and letting me mess around on it. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing because I was 8 but I was definitely having a good time. After that I didn’t revist anythig production related untill I was around 15. Eventually I learned about fl studio and began teaching myself how to produce with the help of youtube. My interest in persuing a career in music was built up over the years, I don’t feel like there was a specific deffinitive moment. -Skinny Limbs
2. Looking back on your time making music, what would you tell your younger self today knowing where you’re at and what it took for you to get there?
It’s not a race. Be kind to yourself, take your time during the difficult learning curves, and take as many opportunities to learn from others as possible. Lessons can help tremendously, but just watching someone else produce for an hour can do more for you than you truly think. Every producer is on their own unique path and learning curve, so just keep your eyes on the goal ahead and have fun! -Yoko
I’d tell myself not to worry and to simply trust the process. Growth happens in a very organic way and It can take a long time to start feeling like your music has any worth. I’d tell myself to have fun, enjoy the ride and keep creating. -Skinny Limbs
3. As an artist, you can experience a number of roadblocks along the way to achieving your goals. What motivates you to continue to be creative and make music even when times get tough?
My friends. Being able to connect with other like-minded artists is the best gift of this whole journey. It is so easy to stay unmotivated when you’re trying to ride the journey solo, but surrounding yourself with driven friends who carry the same goals inspires me more than anything. -Yoko
One thing that motivates me is the community. I’ve met so many incredible people and have had so many amazing experiences because of bass music. My best friends Yoko & BackLeft are another huge source of motivation for me. We all met in College and started to make bass music around the same time. Watching each other grow and evolve has been a huge source of motivation and inspiration. One additional factor that drives me is the profound realization that creating music is undeniably my true passion. -Skinny Limbs
