We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Christian Di Cesare a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Christian thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?

It hit me when I sold my first beat. I’d been making beats for about a year, just for fun, then some random artist hit me up on Instagram wanting to buy one. I sold it for $30, and that moment made me realize—this could be real. From then on, I started taking it seriously, learning marketing, improving my sound, and going all in.

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’m a 20-year-old music producer from Melbourne, Australia, making beats for hip-hop, R&B, and trap artists. I started four years ago just for fun, but over time, I turned it into a serious career—selling beats online, working with independent artists, and growing my brand.

I provide high-quality beats and custom production, helping artists find the right sound to stand out. What sets me apart is my focus on building real connections with artists, not just making sales. I offer guidance beyond beats, helping with branding and marketing.

I’m most proud of seeing artists create something special with my beats—whether it’s a track that gets thousands of streams or just inspiring someone’s creativity. If you’re an artist looking for industry-quality beats and a producer who actually cares, let’s work.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

For me, it’s actually loving the music I put out and seeing how artists use it to tell their stories. Hearing people create something personal with my beats, whether it’s a deep, emotional track or a hype anthem, makes it all worth it. I love listening to the artists who use my beats and seeing how they bring their own vision to life—it’s crazy knowing my music plays a part in that.

In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?

Society needs to value creativity the same way it values traditional careers. That means better funding for the arts, more platforms for independent artists to be discovered, and actual support systems—whether it’s grants, networking opportunities, or education on turning creativity into a career.

People can support artists just by engaging—streaming their music, sharing their work, buying their products, or even just showing appreciation. A thriving creative ecosystem happens when artists get the recognition and resources they deserve, instead of being seen as just “hobbyists” until they blow up.
