Arrangement, Songwriting, and Motivation with $aturn

In this episode, I sit down with the talented producer and vocalist $aturn. He makes incredible music, which is even more impressive when you learn he’s just 19. We talk about how he developed so quickly, his motivation for making music, the best way to learn proper arrangement, and much more. I had a blast recording this episode, and I hope you’ll enjoy it too.

This episode is brought to you by EDM Foundations.

EDM Foundations is my course for new producers, those who’ve been producing for under 12 months, or even those who’ve just started. You can learn more about it here.

The whole idea of the EDM Foundations course is that you learn the fundamentals of music production by actually doing and not just learning concepts. The course consists of 12+ hours worth of streamable video where I walk you through the creation of 3 songs, and give you advice for creating your own original.

We’ve had over 950 people sign up for the course, many of them have had great results. Hope to see you in there.
