Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Bryce Thurton. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Bryce, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.

I’ve known I’ve wanted to go into the creative industry since I was 6. As a child, I taught myself howto draw and found my passion for the arts. Then not even a year later, I began learning how to play drums. From there, around 12 years of age I began teaching myself how to dance and shortly after, joined a local jazz band as the drummer. In addition, throughout middle school I managed my own creative social media pages where I would uplaod comedy skits and dance video that I would also edit myself. In the end of it all I got into music production out of curiosity at 14 and finally decided that it is what I want to fully pursue. I came to realize that making music was the one thing that I could say I confidently love doing. During all of this I was always an athlete and actually went D2 on a track scholarship to a school in San Francisco. However, I’ve left that behind and I am currently pursuing my dreams and aspiriation with music, all while making them come true.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I got into music production through my cousin who introduced me to the program FL Studio. We used to record funny songs as kids, using Dr. Suess books as lyrics. Then one day I realized that this program we used was the same program that many big industry producers use. So I took a deep dive on youtube and watched tutorials, which has taken me to where I am now. I currently sell beats to artists, work closely with many in studios, manage a team of producers called TAKEOVER, and I am getting into engineering sessions for artists also. I believe my production style and mindset sets me apart from others. In addition, I can promise future clients that what I can create can’t be found elsewhere.

Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative? Maybe you can provide some insight – you never know who might benefit from the enlightenment.

Many people believe that I am “lucky” or simply just “blessed” with my talents and success. However, people fail to realize I worked for everything I have. I can definitely agree that God has given me talent, but you can’t be successful with just that. Hard work beats talent everytime. If people want to be something, learn something, or make a name for themselves, no one can do it but themselves.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

By the end of my career, I simply just want to be known as someone that has done multiple things successfully while bringing massive influence in anything I touch.
