Description:
My name is Tobias Walker. I work at Loud House Studios as an Audio Engineer. Me and my producer Kevin started as interns together and over the course of a year we have advanced in the industry to become lead engineers at our studio ,we have spent everyday in the studio and have came across a dynamic sound , with his off the wall beats and my melodic vocals we have began to turn heads around the studio community in Atlanta and Florida. We have an opportunity to secure a distribution deal with Empire distribution for one of my singles. They plan on releasing the single on all platforms across the world right along with all of the rest industries charting artist but we have to rebrand ourselves as Ciani. (Smurf and Kevin, the artist-producer duo.) I am apart Future's Freebandz Music Group so the social representation and affilation with other stars is already in place, but before we emerge as new contenders in the industry we have to have the "look" that major record labels crave.
Where as most labels spend the most money and time on things like studio time, day to day operations and representation of the artist etc. Those things are handled by us for free, so we have a high progit margin. The creation of the brand and the progression of the brand are solely our responsibility, all you have to do is sit back and collect when things pick (URL removed) have already built a solid personal and professional relationships with most of the industries' top upcoming stars in Atlanta, such as Young Thug, Future, Gunna and Metro Boomin, it wont be hard access these people when the time comes.I had to quit my job, be disrespected countless nights, work for no pay, sit at the front desk for 8 hours with little to no money to pay for food. All to have stay an extra 3 hours because the first 2 hour and 30 minute bus and train ride doesn't come until 5am. Even upon being promoted to engineer is still spent $20 to get the a uber from moms house in Norcross to Loud House in Buckhead for a session I got $30 for all to have to spend another 8 up working because I have to wait for that bus and train because I spent more getting to the studio than the actual session. I watch labels turn young adults into music stars when deep down that person just wanted a way out of their situation not to make music. Not spread a message that will resonate with their listeners.
