We were lucky to catch up with Greg Garcia recently and have shared our conversation below.
Greg, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you talk to us about how you learned to do what you do?
I learned to produce through studying the music I love, and researching how it was made.
Greg, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I got into making music when I was about 13 years old. I loved SoundCloud and the way artists could just experiment and release whatever on there. After making music for a few years like that, I took a decently long break over Covid and came back as a completely different artist making strictly instrumental music instead of writing to other peoples beats. Once I was making this music, it allowed me to work with other artists in a new way. I found my love for engineering through this, as I produced/directed a few singles for my friends in high school.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
When I was beginning my senior year in high school, I was going through an extremely tough time, and used my craft to power through, and understand how I ended up there. Everything came together for my second project, 2,000 Miles From The Shore, I Found Peace. I am still so proud of this project, and I feel that it has helped myself and others process things that left them heartbroken and lost.
Any resources you can share with us that might be helpful to other creatives?
I wish I didn’t wait so long to start producing. Who knows where I could be right now if I would have had the confidence from the beginning. I know every successful artist says to just try and see what happens, but the value of those words really can’t be understated.
