Check out our interview with TT (below) and his remix of Magic – Future Feat T.I. (above)

IR: Let’s get to know a little bit more about you and how you grew up. So where do you consider hometown and what type of kid were you growing up?

TT: My hometown is Akron, Ohio The 330 Ya dig!!! But I’m living in paradise on Miami Beach now the playground for the grown and sexy and successful where all the hustlas hustle and the playas come to play!

IR: How old were you when you developed an interest in producing music?

TT: I was in High School and playing sports and started watching videos and I just felt a calling to that way of life. The way the music and videos touched and inspired me… I wanted to be able to do that for people myself and that’s when the journey started!

IR: What was the first album you ever listened to? Can you remember back that far?

TT: My Mom Mattie Looney, may she RIP, used to have a huge record collection and it was either The Isley Brothers, Marvin Gaye Curtis Mayfield or Teddy Pendergrass. There was so much soul in their voices and the music back then. I could feel their words and the music. It was special!

IR: When and how did you begin your journey in the world of music?

TT: I been in the music game a while but it all started with me playing the guitar and when I couldn’t get a decent band together I just chose to produce for artist and do it all myself! Best decision that I have ever made being that I’m a control freak!

IR: What influences shaped your production style?

TT: It’s really too many to name but as far as musicality Prince and The Time, as far as production Quincy, Dr Dre, Timbaland, R. Kelly and as far as moguls Diddy, Jay Z and 50 and Dr Dre

IR: How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard it before?

TT: I like my songs to BANG hard with the drum and 808 or sub bass and then I just put the Magic on top of bangin beats.

I make radio beats and street beats so my sound will differ depending on the project so it can be aggressively sexy to dirty hard and dark like the streets or even beyond! You are anyone reading this are welcome to listen to it and tell me how you would describe it! I think I would like that!

IR: Do you produce a lot by yourself or do you have a partner or a group of people you work with?

TT: I like to work by myself! I work best that way! Shit flows better for me because I know EXACTLY what I want and how to get it down so it’s felt the way I want you to feel it! No compromising, No distractions or worrying about egos or stomping on someone’s feelings of self-grandiosity!

IR: What is your main goal with your production at this point?

TT: My goals are ever changing as I have an ultimate goal yet I have incremental goals that will lead up to the ultimate goal being fulfilled. My immediate goal is to introduce my brand to people who have no clue I exist and turn them into Raving Fans then we will build off of that buzz by leveraging it into capital generating placements and with incredibly successful projects with incredibly talented artists which opens a whole lot of doors for leveraging my brand into all kinds of attractive options at that stage. At that stage I will survey the land of opportunities and go with the ones that align best with my brand! You get the point right… You see how this is progressing right… It’s all process over and over again and patience! It will happen! Trust!!!

IR: Have you learned any lessons so far and if so, what are they?

TT: PATIENCE and don’t take things in this music biz personal! Also if no one is fucking with you as of yet then You have to turn your brand heat up until that can’t deny you and attract them NEVER chase!

IR: Are there any artists you wish to work with in the future?

TT: Whomever Whenever I just want to work with people who want to succeed on a high level! And have situations and budgets that will allow them to do it! High Level success isn’t free!
