Tone Swing on SoundBetter

I work quickly and I'm fun to look at, you can't lose.

{My Producer price includes every service put together. All of the other prices add up if my math is right.}

--> Play a few of my samples to see if you like them :)

I've run myself through the album process numerous times so I'm very confident that I can do it for you too. Totally self-taught so I have no problem learning more. If there's something you need me to do that I don't already know how to do then I will learn it right away.

However, here are some skills I already do very well:

1. Songwriting
2. Production
3. Engineering
4. Mixing & Mastering
5. Overall Execution/Bringing Your Ideas to Life

I work primarily in FL Studio but (as previously mentioned) I can learn anything.

Interview with Tone Swing

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been making music as long as I've been in college. I always had a passion for music but overtime I decided to take it more and more seriously until it became an obsession. I taught myself how to do everything I needed to be self-sufficient. I've been producing and singing for almost 2 years at the time of this interview (September 2019) but I started rapping and songwriting in May 2015. I always knew I could get it right, so I worked until I couldn't get it wrong.
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: All I can really speak on right now are my own projects. Full Swing 2, my most recent joint, really defines me as an artist. I feel like this is the sound I'll be expanding on for the next decade. I did everything on this project but I am most proud of the production. Of course, the melodies and hooks were great but it would've all fallen flat without appropriate backing tracks to match; so congratulations to me for being an amazing producer. Thank you self, I think you're awesome too.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: 2020's album of the year :)
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Nah nobody I know personally but I did see this cute singer named TyteWriter who worked on Westside by Ty Dolla $ign. I love that song a lot so I'd recommend her
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital, analog sounds expensive.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: You'll be a better artist after interacting with me. If not then I'll be better after interacting with you.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: It gets me paid but it doesn't feel like work.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: What instruments do I play? FL Studio baby :P
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That I'm just a rapper. Don't get me wrong, I can rap circles around a good chunk of these folk but I also do so much more.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Who do you listen to? (So I understand their sound)
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Let's just say if you hire me now you'll have major bragging rights in a few months. Just saying.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My laptop, my charger, a wifi router, my headphones and my flash drive.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: If Travis Scott was the lead producer of Nickelback and Chris Brown was the lead songwriter, but it was all one person.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Travis Scott by a mile. He's learned a lot from Kanye and I know I could learn just as much or maybe more from him. He's been one of my favorite artists for the last half of this decade and I've been told that I mimic his sound without meaning to. It just makes sense to learn from him. I'd also like to personally thank him for his music when I get the chance.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: If you can't listen on repeat don't ask me to listen once.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Pop rap or pop-rock, often with a gritty edge and high energy to it. My tracks almost always have some kind of electric guitar floating over a nasty bassline.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Basslines by a mile. I feel extremely confident with my melodies too but my basslines are monstrous.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Personality, energy, showmanship, pop sense and a whole lot of guitars.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I record an idea of the melody and tempo into my phone then flesh it out on FL. I'll write the lyrics and arrange the track as I go then I'll record and mix the whole track myself. Rinse and repeat.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have a laptop and a little mic that plugs into it, which is why I primarily focus on offering my production and songwriting for now. I do sing though, and I'm more than willing to offer vocals in the near future once I have a better mic.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Devante Swing (my namesake), Kanye West, Quincy Jones, R. Kelly, Ty Dolla $ign, Travis Scott and Chris Brown.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I almost always make them a beat but I can also either turn their song idea into a fully fleshed out track or just write a whole song myself for them to sing.
