Thank Your Producers - Badonthetrack [mini profile]
The BeatConn Producer Battle seems like ages ago even though it’s been two months. I’m so thankful I got to witness some of the best producers in the Southeast duke it out (and be invited as a judge)! Amongst the talent, I made sure to speak to 16 year old, Badonthetrack. Two weeks ago I coordinated with his school, work, and practice schedule to chat about life, music endeavors, and his ideal record deal.
Bad fell into producing by way of rapping. As he wrote bars in his room at 12, his mom gave him constructive criticism and suggested that he try a different route. A couple of Fruity Loops sessions later and a young star was born. He’s already secured several placements by utilizing social media to share his work with other artists. Bad credits his word of mouth connections for his early success. He’s looking forward to sharing beats with Lil Baby, Migos, and Drake as well as some peers in the local scene. His exclusives aren’t cheap so come correct when shopping for beats.
Bad makes sure to keep his work/life balance in check to maintain his good grades and steady income. When he’s not making beats, he’s catching up on schoolwork and keeping up with basketball workouts. He even finds time to treat a young lady right, adding FaceTime to his beatmaking sessions.
When the time is right, Bad aspires to make so much money that he can spend without consequences. If he decides to sign to a label it would be one that gave him creative control. Or maybe create his own? His next steps are building his YouTube channel, contemplating culinary school, and moving out of Columbia.
