After fifteen years in the music industry, Emar Mitchell is having a
lot of successes. He is featured on eight of 50 Cent’s mixtapes, he is a
frequent contributor to thisis50.com, and had a weekly radio show that
reaches millions of listeners. He has even begun to influence the
business world through his company, Fleek Entertainment. All this could
not have happened if it was not for his prowess in making beats. Here
are a couple of secrets behind his process.
Always be tuned in
Emar Mitchell lives music. He is thinking about it from the second he wakes up until he turns off the light to go to sleep. He is always listening for that unique collection of notes that he can use to turn into the next chart-topping hit. If he is not tuned in all the time, then there is high probability that he could miss some inspiration.
Vary your interests
When Emar Mitchell is not working in the studio he can be seen at the Buddhist temple, in the community’s philosophical society, or watching a basketball game. By being in three different settings, Mitchell can expose himself to a vast array of influences, increasing the chances of a creative spark.
Listen to the competition
As a radio personality, Emar Mitchell can listen to thousands of songs before putting them on the air. When listening to this much music, Emar can always get ideas from a rival’s beats or hear an interesting musical arrangement that he can improve on. The more music he listens to, the bigger database he can use to pull ideas.
