So I had been an artist, a lot of artists, a lot of different artists, bands, stuff like that, you know? But, you know, I got, I was just messing around with like, I got like a huge sample pack from a friend and just messing around with, you know, I never really used a lot of samples coming up. You know, I always thought like,
Sorry, like even like kick sample snare samples for some reason when I was like learning how to produce I'm like I have to do it myself and like layer four snares together Layer of three kicks together and you cue them all and put them in a chain But I come to find out all my peers are just using sample packs So I'm like what am I doing like this expedites so much instead of spending a day making a half a day making a kick I just drag a kick that already sounds good.
Yeah, and I remember like learning that so right around then and I just started making, I've always loved melodies, you know, like melody. It's definitely some of my favorite part, my favorite part of writing music. And I was just writing, you know, I came from the East Coast, so, you know, there's a lot of Jersey Club over there, a lot of trap music. That's how I grew up.
And, you know, I just started writing. Making Jersey Club mixed with this and throwing samples and throwing these vocal samples and all this stuff and you know before I know it I made I was making like, you know, three songs a day Wow And laying down on my bed, on my stomach, making these songs.
But all my other music, I was like, I have to be in the studio with my keyboard and my mouse and my monitor, and it's all so fancy. You know what I mean? That's what I thought I needed. But for some reason, when I started this Marshmallow Project, I was just cranking out my own little version of Jersey Club. And Jersey Club, it's like all kicks the whole time. And that was fine.
But I also wanted to experiment with putting a snare on that third kick. So it's like... So people would... I thought maybe it'd be a little bit more mainstream, you know, because sometimes just Jersey is a little confusing. And I really liked how it sounded. And so like once I kind of did that, I feel like for like two years, all my music was just doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom.
Yeah, I mean, because like
it can like make people jump and they have that like call and response of the kick snare that they're so used to and all other kinds of music you know so anyways yeah so i was just running with this like i said it's just like caught it just caught something in my body where i was just like i couldn't stop making this music it was so exciting i felt like there were no rules you know and so
I just did that, sent it to my manager. I think I had like eight or nine songs done in like the first five days or something, four days, whatever. And he's like, you know, we should start a project, man. Like something new. And me living at home still, I'm like, yes, I'll do anything like, like whatever. So we sat there and came up with the marshmallow, you know, mellow melodies and
It was kind of mellow, chill, you know what I mean? Like, even, like, my first kind of... My first single single was Keep It Mellow with Omar Lynx.
And that was, like, we shot a music video, my first music video. We, like, went to Borbor's house and shot it there and, like, invited all of our, like, DJ friends out and stuff. And it was a crazy time. But that's, like, a very mellow song, you know what I mean? And that just kind of all kind of fell into place. You know, I got a lot of remix opportunities, which were really huge for me.
Which, like, looking back, like... I was making them at my parents' house. I didn't know what was going on, what this project was, what everything, because I was just so tunnel vision on my music and I'm going to make this work. So yeah, just kind of all just kind of fell out, just snowballed.
Yeah, it kind of, I always said it kind of felt like a culmination of everything I learned since that garage band day when I was nine.
You know, the trap drums, the melodies and stuff, the chords and, you know, a lot of this stuff lends itself where I was coming from when I wrote a lot of, you know, the chord progressions or the melodies, very like pop punk oriented. You know what I mean? Like, New Found Glory and Sum 41 and Good Charlotte and, like, all that stuff. You know what I mean?
Like, it's... Nursery Rhyme-y sounds, like, kind of, like, bad in connotations, but it's kind of like, you know what I mean? It's like a melody that goes up and a melody that concludes, you know? A lot of that music was like that, and that's the only stuff I grew up on. And...
Yeah, so when it came time to write melodies, what was in my blood, in my DNA, were these very catchy, like, pop-punk-esque, you know, melodies.
For Marshmello?
Yeah. That was kind of instantaneous. Really? Which also, I think why, I wouldn't say I was like disconnected, but I was just cranking out music and I knew it was, I knew it was gaining attention. You know what I mean? Because like the SoundCloud days, you know, just all the metrics right there, you know, and you could just see everything and the shares and the comments and stuff. It's like,
It was so exciting for me, you know, because I had been trying for so long to make something work and things went really well here and here and here, but nothing really fully came to fruition until then. So I was just cranking out remixes, you know, for Selena, remixes for Ellie and Calvin, all these remixes. And like, I just like didn't know what was going on.
I was just like my face in my computer.
