The Q And A And Sounds With Music Producer SXINT.
Hey SXINT it’s a pleasure to chop it up with you, What’s going on in your neck of the woods?
A. Well I live in New Zealand so everything’s just about back to normal, I got my finals these next 2 weeks but everything’s ayt.
Q. Nice so tell us and the viewers alittle about yourself?
A. Well I was born and raised in the Philippines and moved to New Zealand 3 years ago when I was 17. I’m 19 now and in College. Even though I make a living through my music I still wanna finish college for my parents.
Q: What or who got you started in making beats?
A: I was never really into music until I watched the movie Straight Outta Compton when I was 14. Just seeing them record music and put their thoughts into song amazed me. I wanted to be a musician ever since but never really pursued it properly. Then at a bad time in my life I saw a friend using FL Studio and asked them where I could get it. I played around with it just for fun for a bit but I really started making music just last year July 2019, I watched every tutorial I could find and started uploading beats consistently after that.
Q: Is there someone who influences you or your sound the most ?
A: I try not to look at one particular artist as my main influence cuz I really wanna develop my own sound. I do look up to the people everybody looks up to like Kanye, Frank, Travis, Tyler, etc.
Q: When you’re creating a beat what is the sound you lean more towards ?
Like would it be more trap or a mixture of different sounds combined?
A: I like to make different kinds of beats in order to expand my range, but I do lean more towards trap.
Q: Do you have a favorite rapper ?
A: Kanye has to be my favorite artist of all time. It’s a generic answer but I’d be lying if I said somebody else.
Q: Who is your top 5 dead or alive ? can be rappers and producers and tell me why you chose these 5
A: Overall top 5 would be Kanye West, Frank Ocean, Travis Scott, Tyler The Creator, Brent Faiyaz.
Top 5 rappers would be Kanye West, Travis Scott, Tyler The Creator, ASAP Rocky, and Kid Cudi.
Top 5 singers would be Frank Ocean, Brent Faiyaz, Yellow Days, PARTYNEXTDOOR, John Mayer.

Q: What artists are you listening to as we speak ?
A: been listening to lots of slowthai recently. Brent Faiyaz and Potsu on heavy rotation as well. Mura Masa and Vince Staples as well.
Q: How would you describe your sound?
A: Energy. At least I hope it does. I try to make all my music have an energetic feel that gets people going.
Q: How often do you make beats?
A: I’m very lazy actually. I make 1 beat for 4 hours every other day and release it on the same day. I wish I could grind like a lot of people but I just don’t have the energy while going to school at the same time.
Q: Where can our viewers check out and buy your beats at?
A: My YouTube channel is SXINT and my website is prodbysxint.beatstars.com. My Instagram is @prodbysxint but I don’t really use it much.
