ASR Producer Podcast



                                                             Will. I. Am

             I choose Will. i. am for my project because I really like unique sound that he produced. Honestly, I haven’t thought him as a music producer until 2010. I just thought him as a member of Black Eyed Peas before. A little over two years ago, in the fall of 2010, a South Korean girl group 2ne1 dropped their album “To Anyone”. I was in Korea for my vacation at that time and I could listen their songs all over the place in Seoul where is a capital of South Korea. Their album was fantastic and sound was so unique. After half year from the album released, they recorded huge hit in France, England, and Japan and now people call Korean music as K-pop. So I searched who produced their album and found out that Will. i. am produced the entire album. After that, I searched and listened to the songs that he produced. I think he has his unique way to put all his imagination and expression to music that he produces. He keeps trying to generate new types of sounds and produces the entire process of production from making beats to controlling the entire session. This is why I like him as a new type of producers and choose him for my project.
