We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful thank Aaron. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Thank below.
Thank, so excited to have you with us today. So much we can chat about, but one of the questions we are most interested in is how you have managed to keep your creativity alive.
By feeding my hunger for creativity. I love making new things. I love being the source of a dope new idea. It’s almost like during the times I feel I’m not being as creative or productive as I should, a seed gets planted inside each time. The rainy days helps, cause then I’m able to rest when I need to during those times. The sunny days or best days are when the idea comes to life and I can see it.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
I’m thank Aaron, and I love to just create dope shit. (If we can’t cuss edit that out) Im every kind of artist and also a platinum recording engineer thanks to help and opportunity of working with my homie GloRilla. I wasn’t always inside of the big studios my whole life, I actually started recording for other people many years ago in my room at my grandma’s house. I had minimal equipment and no knowledge on how to record music at that point. I remember asking my mom to buy me a Logitech usb headset mic and a set of small speakers so I could record myself. Even before that, I remember the times me and my friend Tay recording ourselves on my grandma’s old taper recorder when we were young. He would literally make the beat by banging on whatever we could find and we would mimic the sounds of strings and other instruments with our voices. There was a time I would go over my cousins house to record myself using the mic on the their computer and I’d upload the music to MySpace. Recording at my grandmas house is what grew my interest in recording other people. I would have damn near the whole hood in my grandmas house lol. The first in studio engineering opportunity came from Louis Cole, owner of one sound studios. The funniest thing is before one sound, I was desperately looking for a job and I got called in to come to an interview at Tuesday Morning, this antique store. Right before I was headed there Lou called me and asked if I could come by the studio. He wanted to see how skilled I was. Long story short after growing from one sound I never knew that I’d be recording in some of the biggest studios in the world.
I also make very nice music lol. You can find my music under “thank Aaron” on anything. I’m in the works of releasing a new project soon.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
One would definitely be communication. I was terrible with that for a while in my life. Learning how and when to talk to people is definitely a true skill in itself. Another, strangely, is knowing that it’s okay to not know at times. It saves so much room for more knowledge.
Last, act out of kindness. It gets you so much further. People may not remember what you do, but they will always remember how you make them feel.
My advice I can give is make room to listen, stay observant, take the risks that makes sense to you, celebrate every win, and find the people that truly want to be apart of your reality and universe and cherish them. Stick by them at all times and always lead with love.
What’s been one of your main areas of growth this year?
I want to say organizing files. I used to just clutter up my drive or laptop with files.
