Music
Liam has loved dubstep music since the age of 12 and started mixing it on DJ decks at age 13.
He bought his first set of decks- Numark CD mix 1’s and began practising.
Liam said: “I downloaded a lot of music during this time and started to wonder how people made it, so I started making loops on decks and chopping up sounds.”
“I quickly realised this wasn’t how you made music and got my first DAW at around 14 years old and started trying my hand at making riddim dubstep”.
DAW, Digital Audio Workstation is a software application used to produce, edit, and record audio files.
Liam quickly transitioned from practicing mixing music to producing his own tracks.
He said: “My obsession for electronic music then transitioned from mixing into producing and then fast forward to now and I’m still doing it!”
