We were lucky to catch up with Zuma Quintero recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Zuma, thanks for joining us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
When I first decided to drop out of school due to lack of interest and money I really had no idea what I really wanted to do for a long time. I spent a lot of time bartending in nightclubs and eventually found myself liking the dj aspect but had no way of learning or any connections. I did meet up with a producer that pretty much inspire me to become a producer and then next came the djing .
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I am a music producer, dj and artist from LA , I spent most of my time producing tracks for people and definitely most proud of my EPs I have been putting and the upcoming ones too. I am heavily inspired by rnb, afrobeats and hiphop as well as electronic music.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
When the outside people become listeners. It’s a real nice feeling when people start to appreciate the music.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
Honestly it’s all about the music and I known everything else just follows it. I do have a few goals that I really want to accomplish which are, play a Boiler Room set and Play a Soulection Set.
