Meet TRiLL DYLL

Today we’d like to introduce you to TRiLL DYLL.

Every artist has a unique story. Can you briefly walk us through yours?
I was born in Minnesota and move to Arizona when I was five years old. I grew up playing many sports but primarily basketball. My music journey began at age 10 when I received a guitar for my birthday. I stopped playing basketball in junior year of high school and got some recording equipment from a coworker at my first job. I had the intent of just recording myself playing guitar, but then my best friend began rapping, and I started recording him over popular instrumentals. I decided I wanted to start making the beats he was rapping on, and my production/engineering career began at age 17. Since then, I have played many hip-hop shows as the DJ/hype man for my best friend as well as other artists. In 2017, I was flown out to Atlanta to work with rapper Mark Battles in the Quality Control studio, home of artists like the Migos and Lil Yachty and went on tour with him that summer. In 2017, I also ventured off into a new genre, EDM. I have put out over ten remixes that have accumulated over 90k total plays on SoundCloud and another 70k on Youtube. Currently, I am working on my own original EDM music that will be available on all major platforms.

Please tell us about your art.
I produce hip hop, pop, and R&B beats for artists as well as record rappers and singers at the studio I work at, The Factory of Unified Noise in Phoenix. I am also an engineer and mix and master full songs. I use Ableton Live for all of my beat making, and I use Pro Tools for recording and mixing. As an artist, I make a chill trap/future bass style of EDM. I started doing it for fun but then saw a real interest from other people in my music. The message or inspiration behind my music is that I want to make music that is different from the rest. I would love to develop a sound for an artist, and it becomes their signature sound. There was no “Kid Cudi Type Beat” or “Drake Type Beat” until their producers came up with the signature sounds. As for my EDM, I just want to make music that I want to listen to and blend all different types of genres into one cohesive piece of music. If you listen to my remixes, you will see how I take hip-hop or pop songs and make them completely different.

Do you have any advice for other artists? Any lessons you wished you learned earlier?
My advice for other artists is to make what music you want to make. Don’t try and sound like what is currently in because when the sound changes in the industry, you will be stuck in last years sound. Create the sound that everyone wants to copy, The biggest lesson I wish I learned earlier is to make sure you have the business side of the industry down. Get your contracts made, understand your value, and protect yourself and your art at all costs.

How or where can people see your work? How can people support your work?
People can see my music on SoundCloud, youtube and my online beat store at trilldyllproductions.com
I am all about getting Arizona to help support their talented locals, and people can support my work by sharing and reposting my remixes and sharing my beat store to rappers they know.
