Metro Boomin Quotes

I love putting the music together. It's like art.

I'm a studio rat. I like going in there as producer.

Blending tracks and weaving and manipulating prerecorded music to create this mood, some people do it much better than others.

I design music; I don't produce it.

Twenty percent of my records, you'll find a loop, like two or three loops per album out of 13 or 15 songs. I'd rather keep it like that.

All the Public Enemy albums, I knew what records they were sampling but was like, 'How'd they construct it like this?!'

One always has to remember these days where the garbage pail is, because it's so easy to make sounds, and to put sounds together into something that appears to be music, but it's just as hard as it always was to make good music.

A lot of the stuff I've accumulated over the last few years of touring I thought was really interesting. Like sounds, sound bites, and beats even, but they weren't good dance beats they weren't ones anyone would want to rap over or anything.

In the future, I kind of like the idea of doing music for film. I think that would be a nice job. I've always liked the sound aspect in movies. I guess once I have more instruments under my belt, it could be something I could do.

I had a talent for scoring films. I just developed it.

I don't read music or anything, so when I produce, I go basically by ear.

It's not the music you hear in your head that other people are going to hear. You have to be able to make it true enough to the image in your head, and that's where technique and technology come in, for sure, and knowledge. It's not true and will never be true that someone who knows nothing can sit in a basement and make great music.

I have always been far more interested in sound than technique, and how sounds work together, how they can be layered. I think electronic music, in its infancy anyway, allowed us to create music in a way that hadn't really been possible before. It created a new kind of musician.

I'm taking a lot of freestyle music and flipping it.

When I was nine, ten, I was super young, but I installed a program on my computer so I could start producing music. I just started messing around. Then, after a couple of years, I got better. I actually learned some tricks, so I knew what I was doing instead of just messing.

I take the purest and hardest forms of music... and come in completely fresh from a production standpoint. It's like hip-hop production, because there's a lot of taking the best parts and a lot of the repetitiveness.

Lensko is a friend of mine with a great talent! The way he progresses his tracks is so unique, just the way he puts everything together is so different from what I usually hear nowadays in the EDM-world.

My high school was what crafted my interest in recording.

You know, as I'm progressing with my sound, I just realize when you got a simple sound with crazy percussion in the beats, it makes it. It kinda shapes my sound when it comes to what makes a Tay Keith beat.

I'm a producer, not just a beatmaker but a producer.

I don't want to be on the mic, man. I want to stay producing.

This is just what I do, play music and create sounds and all that good stuff.

Whoever has a next-level ear needs to be an Eardrummer.

I was doing music tech as a subject and learned how to use Logic Pro and that's when I kind of had a platform to put my ideas on. It all just went from there.
