Q: How did you get started in music?

Q: What is the toughest thing you’ve encountered so far in terms of your musical career?

Q: Describe a typical day in the life of a platinum selling producer?
Trill Bans: A typical day looks like me waking up, grabbing my coffee and running some errands, once I come back I start making beats for the day, then grab lunch outside and finally end the day with sending out beats to everyone I’m working with.
Q: What’s something you dislike about the producer community?
Trill Bans: I really dislike the view on loops and how people think that it isn’t real music. I truly believe that music is a collaborative process and to make hits, it takes more than one brain.
Q: What was the first thing that made you think “Wow, a career as a music producer is definitely possible”?
Trill Bans: The first time that really was the case was being in Miami working in the studio. I was thousands of miles away from home and just was chasing my passion and knew in my soul that I want to do this for the rest of my life.
Q: Anything you want to let the people know?
Trill Bans: I just have to let the people know that God really is the one that put me in the position I am today and that if you have a dream in life, you don’t have to do it by yourself. Pray everyday,stay down and work, and it will fall in place if you have faith.
