A while back, I came across an upright studio piano through Facebook and picked it up with a couple of my friends. That moment really opened up a new side of my creativity — being able to sit down and play on a real instrument instead of just using VSTs or MIDI.

Since then, I’ve recorded and built many loops and samples from that piano, weaving them into my kits so other producers can use those same textures in their own work. There’s something about the imperfections and natural feel of live keys that adds emotion you just can’t fully recreate digitally.

Looking ahead, I want to push this even further. My goal is to bring more live instrumentation into my sound — not just piano, but other instruments too — to keep my production evolving and give producers and artists something real and unique.
