We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Hidden Sound a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hidden, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Learning the craft is often a unique journey from every creative – we’d love to hear about your journey and if knowing what you know now, you would have done anything differently to speed up the learning process.
I remember the first time I picked up an instrument, back in the first grade. It wasn’t just a way to escape the classroom; it turned into a lifelong journey. From clarinet to drums, my fascination with learning and practicing different instruments deepened my connection to the art of sound. I started understanding how each note and rhythm could weave emotions and stories together. Growing up in the vibrant music scene of Los Angeles, I was surrounded by inspiration. It was here that I decided to explore the world of DAW programs, creating beats that resonated with my soul. I got hooked instantly, and I haven’t looked back since. Electronic music became my muse, shaping my creative influences. I eventually got my hands on a beat machine, and that’s when I truly started to experiment with sound. The journey has been nothing short of exhilarating, and I’m excited to keep pushing the boundaries of music and sonic art.
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?
My journey as an artist, musician, and producer has been an electrifying ride, and my inspirations have been as diverse as the sounds I create. My artistic path was laid with the rhythms of Electonic Dance Music, from dubstep to house, and the grandeur of big trailer music. Los Angeles, the city of dreams, has been my muse, and it’s here that my creative journey has truly taken flight. My focus has always been to craft sonic experiences that transcend boundaries and captivate the soul. I’ve recently signed with a prominent sync music catalog in the heart of Los Angeles, and this is where my mission aligns with my deepest ambitions. In the world of sync licensing, my vision is clear. I want to elevate narratives and evoke emotions through music. From movies to television shows and every medium in between, I plan to take my signature sound to new heights. It’s about creating soundscapes that not only complement visuals but also elevate them. It’s about making the audience feel something, whether it’s the adrenaline rush of an action scene or the tear-jerking beauty of a heartfelt moment. For Hidden Sounds, the future is an open canvas, waiting to be painted with melodies and harmonies. I’m determined to make a mark in the world of sync licensing and deliver music that adds a layer of magic to every visual story. The journey has just begun, and I’m ready to let my art speak for itself.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most fulfilling aspect of my journey is the ability to freeze a moment in time, much like a photograph, but through the language of sound. I’ve always believed that music is the universal language, transcending barriers, and enabling one of the most intimate forms of communication. It’s a medium that resonates with every individual. The sheer joy of creating music lies in its capacity to evoke emotions, tell stories, and immerse people in unique experiences. Each note, each beat, and each melody can transport the listener to a different world. It’s a powerful form of expression, capable of capturing the essence of a moment, a feeling, or even an entire story. I find it immensely rewarding to create melodies that resonate with people on a profound level. It’s a way to connect with others, to convey complex emotions, and to bridge gaps between cultures and backgrounds. The ability to craft a good song is a gift that transcends boundaries, and it’s an honor to share that gift with the world.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
Absolutely, there is a distinct goal and a mission that fuels my creative journey. For me, the concept of a conventional 9 to 5 job, confined to a cubicle, never quite resonated with what I believe life should be. Music, on the other hand, offers a ceaseless emotional roller coaster. It’s a journey filled with constant rushes of dopamine, creative innovation, and the joy of pushing the boundaries of sound. My mission is clear: I want to ensure that music sustains the way life should be lived – to the absolute fullest. It’s about embracing every moment, every emotion, and every opportunity to create something remarkable. For me, music isn’t just a passion; it’s the very essence of existence. Through my work, I aim to channel this passion into a mission. I want to make sure that the music I create not only resonates with listeners but also funds a life lived to its fullest potential. Whether it’s through sync licensing, collaborations with fellow artists, or pioneering new techniques, my mission is to keep the music alive, vibrant, and a driving force in the pursuit of living life to its utmost potential.
