Richard Jansen
Richard Jansen was Singapore's first major Myspace artist that hit the big time - In recent years, he released music on Kartel and part of the duo Trick that was signed to Sony. But left it all to focus on family and his solo project. This track, and the upcoming album is 99%% produced on an iPhone. The album itself has been 2 years in the making, right after he ended the deal with his label and he was going back to doing solo music. There was a long layoff where he kept recording a whole bunch of material that he happened to come across a production software, Auxy, on the app store, started to play around with it and ended up with 15-20 tracks which he recorded them all in-house. All but one song on the upcoming album is produced in this manner. He found that it was pretty cool idea the way technology and software are rapidly improving, this process was something refreshing. "Having been in studios with producers using all these top end softwares/instruments, i've seen it all. I figured, i wanted to take a step back, limit myself with minimal resources and see what actually happens - do it all on my own, produce/write/record/mix, all with an iPhone, iMac GB and a mic/interface. It started out as something for fun that just happen to evolve into like a full run." Richard Jansen will release 3 more singles before dropping a 16 track album with features from KAYDA (MY) / Sayla (MY) / QBE (MY) / Vandal / Dough-boy (HK) / Chow Mane (US) / Shino (XS) / Zack Tabudlo (PH The Voice Kids Finalist).
