Student Describes Love of Making Music
By Abreyana Moore | Observer Contributor
Keishaun Hornsby, 21, finds time to produce beats and work toward his dream of becoming a successful producer.
Hornsby found the inspiration to make beats from his favorite producer Metro Boomin. Metro Boomin’s style, creativity, and sound selection is what drew Hornsby to the producer and what gave him the idea to start producing. To stay focused and work hard, Hornsby thinks of the quote “When you want to breathe as bad as you want to succeed, then you’ll be successful.”
Hornsby spends anywhere from five minutes to two hours making a beat. He uses a number of different software programs to produce, but his favorite is Fruity-Loops Studio. He feels that you can only make good beats on software that you are familiar with. Hornsby watches videos on YouTube to learn different techniques and styles. He knows that with practice and time he could be as good as some of the people he looks up to.
Hornsby said that he doesn’t let haters get him down. He just follows what he feels and thinks at the time.
