Interview with Ash Bessy

  1. Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

  2. A: For NIKKIETUTORIALS, I composed a piece of classical music - that’s something out of the ordinary for me! I aspired to create a modern and classical piece for her and had so much fun playing the keys in this one. Hope to see another challenge where I can bring out my versatility again!

  3. Q: What are you working on at the moment?

  4. A: For an international sunglasses brand I created the soundtrack for their AD. Here I constantly switched between two moods: an old skool Bossa Nova song and a underground trap-hiphop track. The songs playfully intertwine, as I used the Bossa Nova sample in the hiphop song!

  5. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  6. A: Nothing beats analogue for me! However, digital has made things so much easier and most importantly faster. It’s allowed for a quicker turnaround and review process.

  7. Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

  8. A: I always come with 100% pure energy, originality, optimism and creativity and am flexible throughout the whole process. I maintain a no-nonsense approach. No excuses, no waiting, no sloppiness & always on time. I will make your vision come to life.

  9. Q: What do you like most about your job?

  10. A: I love music - making it, playing it and producing it. What’s so different about this job is that I get to create something new each time.

  11. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  12. A: Professionally I’ve been in this industry for 5+ years, but I would say my involvement in music started from young. Coming from a musical family and culture, I’ve played instruments from a young age (piano, drums, bass) and have done so in all sorts of settings. I’m proud to say that myself, my family and my friends live and breathe music!

  13. Q: How would you describe your style?

  14. A: I’d describe my sound as soulful yet modern. I include some ‘grimey’-elements to them, which alludes to an ‘underground’ and ‘urbanesque’ feel. I am passionate about melodies, originality and depth.

  15. Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

  16. A: I would love to work with the great singers of today, such as SZA and Summer Walker.

  17. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  18. A: Melody. My work is defined by a strong sense of melody and harmony, which many clients and artists appreciate.

  19. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  20. A: I bring an in-depth musical aesthetic that lives across genres and times: from older samples to newer drums, to soulful harmonics and interesting sounds.

  21. Q: What's your typical work process?

  22. A: We'll start with a conversation around your vision and look into examples/references that match your style. After I’ve gotten a clear idea on the project, I’ll create our original sounds/track to the best of my ability in my studio, and propose it to you. We will then revise the project until you're satisfied!

  23. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  24. A: I have got my own professional studio in Amsterdam, and use Ableton, Logic and Protools. Equipment includes KORG R3, Fender Rhodes, Mellowtron & more.

  25. Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

  26. A: So many! However, I have a special place in my heart for: Ryan Leslie, Timbaland and Jamie XX.

  27. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  28. A: It ranges between producing, mixing and mastering a full fledged track for an artist and composing the sound design for a short film / advertisement.
