Shlomi Berg - 6 Years Ago I Was Booked For The Biggest Parties In Brazil Called 'Tribe' I Remember, When I Reached The Stage, I Froze For A Second (Artist, Israel)

I gave up from music and I realized that maybe it's not going to work out and I'm not going to be successful in Music like I thought and I started to work and make money for living but after a year I felt something is missing and I went back to producing. So, never give up! It will happen one day.

1. Tell us about your background and journey.

When I was around the age of 13 my cousin gave me the software for producing music since he saw my passion for music. At the beginning I was confused and didn't know what i'm actually doing but I fell in love with music and I found myself spending all the time at the studio with music.

2. When did you first decide you wanted to pursue music and how did you start?

I remember I heard Infected Mushroom for the first time and I had goosebumps. At that point I knew what I wanted to do in the future.

3. Who is your favourite artist and why?

Nowadays I can say I'm not really finding my favourite artist but I can definitely find inspiration in any kind of music.

4. How and where do you find inspiration to churn out content?

You can get Inspiration basically from anything. I remember when I was a kid on the way to school I was recording myself singing some catchy melodies to remember it and to work on it at the studio.

5. Is format training required or can one train themselves purely on the basis of talent?

Back in the days when I started to produce it was so hard to find some format that can help you with music. It was almost impossible and if you wanted to get some help you would need some friend to help you out.

Nowadays you have the media, you can find everything on youtube easily.

You have almost every tutorial for everything.

I wish i would have it when I started, it could be way easier for me.

6. What piece of advice would you like to give to future and aspiring artists?

Never give up. I know its very cliché but this is what happened to me.

7. What are some of the common myths about your profession?

We must go back with a girl after the show. Kidding, must be 2 girls.

8. Tell us about your favourite tour and why?

6 years ago I was booked for the first time at one of the biggest parties in Brazil called Tribe. I remember when I arrived there I went up the stairs and when I reached the stage I saw a sea of people and I froze for a second and I felt I'm in the big league now and I did it. And yes I cried a little haha.

9. Which is your favourite book and why?

I must be honest, I'm not reading books. I Rather to spend my time at the studio watching tutorials instead.
