sometimes it sounds good sometimes it sounds weird, both are a win

Account of Professor Analogue, Producer & UNC- Chapel Hill Music Faculty instructing Beat Lab, Rap Lab & Hip Hop Ensemble.

As I pondered the root of my art, I only had one word come to mind: Truth. I am an artist of pure feelings; art that expands across sounds to connect to the emotions that connect us all. I use my life experiences and so much of the worlds inspiration to generate music that speaks alongside all inspiration.

My sound is best described as experimental ghetto soul music. A sound that blends the sounds I grew up on, hip hop, R&B, gospel and groovy music, and creative new elements. A listener should leave my music feeling understood/ inspired to feel. I want to ensure that the world feels without fear. 

At its core my music highlights experiences and allows us time to sit and process. Time to hold space and empathize with one another; Music of joy and sadness/love and lost.

My name is Ricky and I have no music background but I'm making beats for fun with a focus and interest on hip hop styles. Shared here are my beat loops that I've made for Beat Making Lab using Ableton 11. Many of the sounds used in the beats are default to Ableton but I have pulled the sampled sounds from elsewhere, which are noted in the song descriptions.
