We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Jamal Wright. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Jamal below.

Jamal, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Can you talk to us about how you learned to do what you do?

As far as doing music, when I started rapping and making beats it was something only certain people were good at and if you were good you wanted to get better. Back then there was no quick way to learn the gems it was that you had to experience it first hand. What helped me the most was that I was a visual learner and I was always eager to learn something new doing music in a time when most were not very open to showing you and if you wanted it you had to go and get it. The only thing that would stop you was you, there was no time to wait on anyone to give you anything.

Jamal, 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 began doing music straight out of high school as a hobby like most. As I progressed I began meeting people and then the learning aspect came. I was taught how to record music and I learned how to mix and produce through self teaching and mentorship. As the years progressed and the drive and love for the craft intensified then it became apparent that I should become further educated doing something that I was so inspired by. After attending a Music Conference, I enrolled into a Professional Mixing and Engineering course and I got my Certification from Avid Pro Tools. I am more than capable to do mixes and masters from my home studio and I do have music on streaming from myself and an artist on Spotify and Apple Music under the name Playmaker. People I work with enjoy a great place to create and also an helpful insight that I provide on projects to insure the best outcome.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

All through the Journey of Music I was kind of given the basics and then left to figure out the rest. And this only pushed me more. When I got introduced to Pro Tools it was quick and on the fly. While I did grasp the basics quickly, there were things that required further understanding and that’s when i was presented once again with what i had become so normally accustomed to and that was you got the basics now figure it out and I DID.

What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?

I think understanding that when you put yourself on display it is a number of emotions and feelings. What most artist need is a place where they can present there art with a sense of comfort. I think more artist would release more art frequently if they were more comfortable and the pressure was removed.
