Blastah Beats Interview
ItsHipHop: For everyone out there, who are you and where are you from?
Blastah Beatz: I go by the name of Blastah Beatz and I'm a beatmaker from Portugal, Europe.
ItsHipHop:
How did you get into making beats? And at what age?
Blastah Beatz: When I was 14 my cousin suggested I should try and learn to do something since I was so much into Hip Hop. He introduced me to a sound engineer who taught me how to use some programs. I took his advice and teachings and started to make beats. I've only been taking it seriously since 2006 though.
ItsHipHop: How would you describe your "sound"?
Blastah Beatz: That's hard to describe, but I like to keep it real with the drums and bass and I rarely, if ever, use synths. The sample stays lo-fi and overcompressed for the most part. I'm heavily influenced by that 90's East Coast boom-bap and that's one of the reasons why some modern listeners don't like my style, but MC's love it. I always try to experiment with 80's music, soundtracks, classical music and other styles to vary my sound but soulful beats is my main thing.
