If you're looking for cheap, personalized and customizable music for TV, Film or to perform over then look no further.
A beat obsessive, I can create any style of music for any situation. Having produced music for small indie movies as well as for aspiring musicians (mainly rappers) I've missed working with other people since moving to Asia where the hip hop scene is... while growing, less than booming.
My speciality is electronic beats, dark and moody atmospheres are my bread and butter however that is not all I eat.
I produce, song write for any style, genre and situation needed, and honestly, the weirder are more far fetched the more I enjoy it.

Interview with Alexander / Lá Rơi
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Working on making central vietnam the hip hop hub.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Not yet, I'm new here.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Either, elitism clouds the vibe.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: That I will do my utmost to satisfy your needs.(within the world of music production)
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Why isn't this making any sounds? "I haven't plugged it in yet"
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That I care about misconceptions
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What's the vibe, what's the bpm and when do you need it?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Don't fuck about, if there's something you're not feeling then tell me. Hell, if you get to the end and realise it's all wrong tell me to scrap it and we'll start over.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Assuming I'd be there until I died, probably just a drum machine and a small piano
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been making beats since I was 13 or 14, studied at college for music tech, dropped out when they taught me how to rig a mic for the umpteenth time. First paycheck from it when i was 16 or 17.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Like I mentioned I'm versatile as hell, but if I'm working on something for myself it tends to be darker, a bit grimier.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Odd pick but "godforbid" of "That handsome devil", seems like it'd be nuts even being in the same room as him
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Preperation is key, you dont want to leave your studio or station until everything is almost in place, maybe until 90% of what you need is in place. Taking breaks spoils the vibe.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I've had a lifelong romance with hip hop, so it's mostly that.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I'd say it's my drums or vibe, I grew up on reggae and dance music.
Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: Beat making and song writing. Idea creation and realization and some graphic design.
