Kydo Interview | Respect the Producer Interview
How did you get your name?
I was listening to a song by Radiohead "Kid A" and started thinking and playing with that idea, then i came up with "Kydo" as my artistic name since it's similar to my real name "Guido" .
Where are you from?
I'm from La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Born and raised.
How did you get into Producing?
I always loved music and I started learning to play instruments like Piano, Guitar, Drums, Djembe (African percussion), and a little bit of Bass. After playing in a few bands I started to create my own music and for that I needed to learn how to produce!. I started with the GarageBand software, then moved to Maschine and finally went with Ableton Live.
What did you do to advance your skills/knowledge?
In terms of producing I started watching tutorials on youtube of my favorite producers. Also, some of my friends were into producing and they gave me some advice. After a few months I started a producer career in the Arjaus school.
What did your first set up look like?
Actually my dad is a DJ for hobby and so I started playing with his setup (Pioneer Nexus 2000)
What does your current setup look like?
I'm still sticking with this setup (Pioneer Nexus 2000)
If you could produce for any artist (dead or alive), who would it be?
I would love to make a collab with the great George Smeddles.
What is your goal when you create?
I always start with the percussive part since is the part of the song that makes me move. But I think the main goal is to create a groove that I love.
What's your go-to song right now?
I always love to play my tune "Wubaluba dub dub - Kydo".
What is your dream as a Producer?
I would love to keep learning and progressing until reaching a professional level to be in the main labels of the scene.
What is some advice you would give to someone with a dream to become a Producer?
Start slow and don't go crazy at the beginning , enjoy every second. If you love the music it is going to go perfect for you.
