Check Out 28madethisone’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to 28madethisone.

Hi 28madethisone, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started making beats when I was 14 on GarageBand during the coronavirus pandemic. These beats were terrible, but I slowly started to get better and better at it and took the leap and bought FL Studio. From there, I was still making these awful beats until one of my friends told me to make him an Icewear Vezzo-type beat which is what got me into making Detroit beats. I started to really get into the Detroit and Flint sound because that is what I was hearing around me being from Southeast Michigan. Through networking with people, I got my first placement with an artist named GetRichZay on a beat I collaborated on with one of my producer friends named PBell. That placement is what made me realize that I might actually have something here. My second placement came from 392 Lil Head on a loop I uploaded to a website called Looperman. My other producer friend named Ski took that loop, put some drums on it, and sent it to him, and that music video is currently sitting around 90k views. Once I saw that, I started doing weekly loops and sending them out, which eventually led to me being able to work with artists like Drego, GMO Stax, The Godfather, OnFully, and many others. 

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It was tough for a while trying to balance producing with my other responsibilities like school, work, and sports, and it often fell on the back burner, but I made sure to keep it fun so that it was not something that I hated doing. 

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I make beats and specialize in the Detroit sound but make pretty much everything. I am most proud of the connections I have built with my collaborators, who have now become my friends. I think my attitude sets me apart from others; I am always willing to work with anyone no matter how many followers they have or what kind of attention they are getting, because I was once in that spot. 

Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting out?
My advice would be to keep it fun and exciting because the second it starts feeling like work, it’s over, and that it’s okay to ask others for help. To this day, I always ask people around me what effects they use on this part of a loop they sent me or how they master their beats.
