Today we’d like to introduce you to Abraham Alnseirat.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Abraham. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
In the fall of 2018, I was in my dorm at Texas Tech watching a Genius Deconstructed video, and I just had the urge to give beat making a try. I began with a free DAW called LMMS, which was a great starting point for someone without the knowledge nor the money. I had then started using the FL Studio free trial in 2019, with consistency being my best friend in learning this software. I had begun experimenting with different VST’s and Plugins, enhancing my production, as well as opening the door for basic audio engineering. With a combination of research and trial and error, I had begun enhancing my sound, using songs from H E E M A and KidGuap for practice. With the help of artists such as KidGuap, Zach, Mashi & Nate Richie, I am able to showcase my mixes through hits such as “Coast to Coast (Feat. Ramyeezy)”, “Know That”, & “Auto-Pilot”.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It has been anything but a smooth road. In the beginning, figuring out how to arrange beats and leveling the sounds were a bit of a struggle, as you don’t want it to sound muddy and repetitive. After figuring that out, mixing vocals was a challenge in itself, especially with goal of studio-grade sound from the bedroom in mind. As studio time cannot always be afforded, we needed a better solution. After researching different plugins and mixing techniques, I slowly began collecting the essential software needed, anything from Auto-Tune to compressor and EQ’s. Then, it was a matter of trial with different voices. The pieces of the puzzle started coming together, as rapid growth has been seen from my production, as well as from the sounds and flows of my artists.
AbeAlns – what should we know? What do you do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
I don’t want to be boxed into a single category. I specialize in Music Production and Engineering, with the ability to serve all artists around me and even be mobile to there location. I also have a clear grasp of photo editing for cover art, as well as creating ad videos for promotion. Our first notable piece of work was our first Spotify drop, “Heart Away” by KidGuap, reaching 14k. This song came with great success as it showcased both my strengths in production as well as KidGuap’s silky sound. Then, while in Houston, we teamed up Ramyeezy to drop “Coast to Coast” by KidGuap, Produced by me. While this song only reached 4k on Spotify, it was my first release as Producer, not only an engineer. While some great music has been dropped since, we haven’t seen a bigger success until Nate Richie released “Auto-Pilot”, reaching 17k on Soundcloud, attracting a huge audience to come together to celebrate his second single. What sets us apart from the rest is that we aren’t a huge studio with absurd rates. We are regular kids making quality-sounding music from my bedroom, offering an affordable way for artists to expose their sounds.
What is “success” or “successful” for you?
To me personally, success is defined by your own goals and standards. If you only ever shoot for mediocre goals, you will only ever live out a mediocre success. My success will be defined by how far I, or any of the artists that I work with, make it into the industry. My next few goals build on each other as the next marker of success would be a song reaching 50k, then 100k, 200k, and so on. Especially with time quarantine has afforded us, many songs have been made, giving us an optimistic view for this summer.
