Interview with Josh Olusanya

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

  2. A: My debut EP!

  3. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  4. A: If you want to record a choir but don't have one, record yourself several times (at least nine I would say) making sure you've covered each harmonic line you want in there. For each block of takes, try you best to alter your voice e.g. by holding your nose or otherwise distorting your voice and experiment with recording takes at various distances from the mic.

  6. A: R&B, reggae, soul, pop

  7. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  8. A: My musical ear

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

  10. A: Soul, energy, personality, breathiness, belts, head voice, resonant low tones that only a baritone could provide ;)

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