Today we’d like to introduce you to KRK Beats.
Hi KRK Beats, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Originally from Gary, Indiana, home of some of the greatest entertainers and talent ever! I’ve since called the Eastside of Atlanta Georgia home for over 25 years. Spending many years in the midwest also, soaking up game and culture.
I began my journey into sound at a very early age in a band on alto saxophone. Later in the early 2000s, as electronic music became more prominent with the emergence of digital audio workstations or DAW’s such as Pro Tools, Reason, and Fruity Loops now FL studio, a new world was opened.
Fast forward after years of working with independent artists, video game developers, and multi-media companies on projects spanning many genres, the same passion for music and sound design excellence remains.
The most difficult step is the first one. After that its a process of continued failure and growth. Those who are successful ultimately aren’t those who are the best at it, it’s those who never stop. True failure doesn’t really exist, the only failure that exists is the failure to try.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Never has it been a smooth road, as life is not one. However, throughout every struggle, you learn what to and what not to do with the next opportunity you have. Stay focused and humble, never presume to know. In fact, take “I Know” out of your vocabulary.
Many times my greatest challenge has been my own self doubt. Learning to keep pushing forward regardless of fear and donut is key.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
Passion, having a love of your craft is paramount. Being able to enjoy what you do is so important. With OUTHABOXstudios I have been able to harness my love of music, sound design, and audio engineering. I work with musicians, voice-over artist, and fellow producers from various genres and musical backgrounds.
What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
Never stop.
