Babylon by Otuwa
Track Info:
Before this track was made, artist Otuwa told me, "I don't want to rap... I want to make music." Thus Babylon was born from that idea alone. The track was made using our greatest strengths: my common use of 'floaty' and melodic synths and hard hitting drums and David's use of swagger and confidence. A key theme of this song is the idea of achieving greatness and not settling for what is. This is a very relatable theme since it took me scrapping and remaking the instrumental three times! This song took us about a month to fully finish and it showcases my ability to collaborate with artists and while maintaining both of our visions and using our strengths to our advantge.

Pathfinder by Otuwa
Track Info:
The plan for this track was to make the most interesting and coolest-sounding rap song we could make in the time-span of one month. This song emits a fun, summertime feel using catchy rhythms, samba/Brazilian samples, and epic beat drops. The lyrics are about a flawed man trying to make a relationship work from long-distance. This song showcases my love for sampling and sound design, as well as my genre-meshing capabilities.

MANTEQUILLA by The Dreamer
Track Info:
Made in my personal home-studio over the course of 2 weeks, MANTEQUILLA is a blend of rich latin culture and the new age of trap music while paying homage to the hot club scene in Miami. With the vision birthed by artists 'The Dreamer' and 'LOOZAR', then brought to life by yours truly, MANTEQUILLA creates this clubby yet 'spacey' ambiance that makes you want to bop your head and grind those hips! This track showcases how diligent and precise I am to turning any artists vision from just a hum or melody into a full and lively piece of art.

Tsunam! by Otuwa
Track Info:
Made within the first 3 months of my student career at Full Sail University, Otuwa and I joined forces to make a genre-meshing track thats both fun yet smooth. Fully produced and envisioned by myself, Tsunam! is a mesh of chill house, inspired by Kaytranada and Channel Tres, and fun, clubby-sounding hip hop. All of this, while being submerged in my trade-mark spacey feel, creates a fun-sounding track like you've never heard before. This track showcases my early development as both a producer and engineer and the potential in what I can become.
