Our esteemed guest is Burn The Topiary a Ontario, California Beatmaker/Producer. A veritable maestro in the art of rhythm, unveils the layers of personal expression and authenticity that have shaped his musical identity. Together, we reminisce about the therapeutic power of beats, the nostalgic '90s era that ignited our passion, and how the tapestry of our lives—complete with family influences and a colorful musical past—interweave to create the unique soundscapes that define us. Through engaging discussion, we affirm music as a sanctuary for self-discovery, a space where conformity holds no sway and individuality reigns supreme. The narrative sways to the pulse of adaptability in the music world, touching on the renaissance that the COVID-19 lockdowns spurred within us. The conversation shifts like a melody, from the tactile strings of traditional instruments to the synthesized heartbeat of hip-hop and electronic beats, chronicling the birthing of four distinct albums in rapid succession. Tales of personal growth during the pandemic underscore the essence of maintaining a rhythm of creation amidst life's cacophony. We share the wisdom found in the Love Supreme collective's companionship and the boundless opportunities the global beat scene offers, highlighting the transformative power of crafting music on mobile devices and the excitement of upcoming events and album releases. Concluding our melodic conversation, our guest and I reflect on the importance of nurturing curiosity and embracing continuous learning in the craft of beat making. We highlight the joy of connecting with like-minded souls who inspire us to push the boundaries of our creativity. We nod toward the anticipated A Love Supreme California compilation album, a beacon of new talent ready to resonate through the airwaves. This episode is a tribute to the creative spirit that propels us forward, a call to fellow Beatmakers and music lovers alike to celebrate the soundtracks of our lives. Join us, and let the beats guide your journey to the core of your artistic essence.
