S!: What is your name and where are you from?

My Name is Stevieknocks, I’m a Music Producer from Compton California.

S!: What inspired you to become a producer?

As a kid I was always inspired by Dr Dre, Quincy Jones, and Scott Storch, I loved the fact that  they created their own sound.

S! Have you collaborated with any producers recently? 

Yes I have collaborated with Producer Beazie Beats 

I have collaborated with Another Dope Producer Xeryusg and so many more, collaborating with other talented producers is definitely fun because they have their own styles . 

S!: Do you remember your first rhyme?

Yes I was 12 years old when me and my cousin started writing raps at my grandpa house in Pasadena, I can honestly say I did Terrible. 

S!: What is the best advice you have ever received? 

The best advice I have ever received was to focus on my craft every day , to network and to be myself 

I attended Diddy Revolt Music Conference a few years back and I can say that advice really helped me 

S! How has it been working with new artist such as Christian Royce? 

 

I was actually introduced to Christian Royce by Darlene Deluna , he came to the studio I played a few beats and he went right into the booth , he’s extremely talented , his entire style is crazy he’s easy to work with. He’s definitely one of the hottest artist towatch out for. The next session I brought in Beazie Beats who is another dope producer and we really kicked things up a notch.

S!: How long have you been working with Beazie Beats? 

We have been working together since the pandemic started so I say about 4 months.

We have worked on about 200 Beats together nonstop.

S!: What is the latest project you have worked on? 

Latest release was a single I Produced called City Girls with a Dope Artist Name Billyracxx from Houston.

S!: What Surprising lesson have you learned along the way? 

I’ve learned that people don’t respect or care for loyalty in this business, they will cross you over money or someone , you could go to mars and back for someone and that person wouldn’t even care! 

S!: What do you like about artists in general? 

Depends on the Artist, but I don’t like artists being late for studio sessions that I’m paying for out of my pocket.  

S!: How often are you in the studio and what’s your  process ? 

I’m in the studio about 3-4 times a week , although I make some of the best beats at home , I normally like to go to the studio when we record.
