The DAW itself is pretty large, and I had to learn how to use the majority of the tools myself (I personally don't even know how to use everything in there yet, haha). "FL Studio for beginners is like putting a newborn baby in the Sahara Desert and expecting it to return to civilization.''ĭon't get nervous though - that's why I wrote this blog post: For beginners to get a basic knowledge of Fruity Loops. Not just for myself, but for the people around me that I would love to collaborate with to create something amazing, and to build connections that will last a very long time.If you've chosen Image-Line's FL Studio 12 as your starting DAW for beat making, then you KNOW that you've got quite a bit to learn. It will help fund the project and give me more time to focus on the goals I really want to achieve. Honestly, this opportunity couldn’t have come at a better time given the circumstances we are under at the moment. Lifting others up and lending your time and energy to build a community. At the end of the day, to me, that’s what life is about. You never know how someone is actually feeling, so to be light and happy could really make someone's day, which I think is reflected in my music. I love to bring energy and smiles and happiness to people. This variety has influenced my music to be rhythmic and diverse.
The one thing that my ear was always drawn to was the bass lines in songs, no matter the genre. I would listen to soul and African music that my mother would play, and funk and Arabic music that my dad would listen to.
YAOB : “Growing up in a mixed cultural family, I was exposed to a wide variety of musical influences. We plan to keep trying to make music we believe in and use this platform to support other young Black artists and producers, and help them make their voices heard.” We really appreciate the #YouTubeBlack Voices Fund shining a light on us and our music. If we can give a glimmer of hope, a spec of power, a seed to grow in our music, it can touch someone, and that someone can change the world. We also try to make the lyrical messages as positive as possible because we feel those are the farthest-reaching, longest-lasting records, and the most touching records. We often say that the music we make, no matter the genre, is universal. A NOVA is a binary star system in outer space that revolves around each other until they merge to create a beautiful explosion. Nova Wav : “We are known for making music that's usually based in hip-hop and R&B, but we strive to do “NOVA” in all genres.

Using the platform will enable me to create my own community within my channel and be able to build that audience. It will enable me to create music and content, expand my audience, and build followers and fans that will hear my story and see my artistic vision. I see the #YouTubeBlack Voices Fund impacting my career by enabling me to connect, explore, create, and collaborate. My music is me talking about some hard-hitting truths behind some hard-hitting beats wrapped up with a whole lotta love and energy. My music is a reflection of my personality and truths, mixed with freedom of speech and movement, with some conscious, cheeky bars with high-end production and beats. For the last three years, I have been writing, collaborating, making, and releasing music and content. I grew up in Wyndham in Western Australia’s East Kimberley.
