This interview is lightly edited for clarity.
You’re getting more recognition for your work. How does it feel to see people appreciating your production?
SirDeen: It’s definitely a great feeling. As a producer, you’re always behind the scenes, so when people start recognizing the sound and connecting it to you, it’s a big moment. I’ll go as far as calling it a privilege. I’ve been putting in the hours, refining my work and just focusing on making the best music possible. Seeing people appreciate that makes all the hard work feel worth it.
What drew you into music production in the first place?
I’ve always been fascinated by sound. Growing up, I was the kid who would listen to a song over and over, picking apart the elements, trying to understand how everything fit together. I started experimenting with beats when I was younger, just playing around, but the more I did it, the more I realized this was something I wanted to take seriously. Over time, it became less about making beats and more about creating full, immersive songs. Sounding good was not enough for me.
Your sound is versatile, blending different genres. Do you have a specific approach when working with artists?
Every artist is different, and that’s what makes the process interesting. Some know what they want, others want you to work your magic and see what they can do to add to that. My job is to listen and understand what they want to express and then translate that into the music. Sometimes it starts with a simple melody, other times it’s about building a whole world around their voice. It’s a balance between bringing my own touch while making sure it still feels like their song.
How do you handle creative blocks when producing music?
It happens, and I’ve learned not to fight it too much. Sometimes stepping away from the music is the best thing you can do. I’ll go do something completely different, maybe watch a movie, take a walk, even read a book. Anything to reset my mind. Inspiration usually comes when you least expect it. And when it does, I just get back on my computer and make more records.
Are there any artists you dream of working with?
Definitely. There are a lot of incredible artists out there, both established and emerging, that I’d love to collaborate with. I’m always drawn to artists who push boundaries and aren’t afraid to experiment. The best music comes from that space where both the artist and producer are willing to take risks.
With the growing recognition, do you see yourself stepping more into the spotlight?
I think the work speaks for itself, but I also understand that people want to know the person behind the sound. Things are changing within the industry now. I’m still adjusting to that idea, but I know that the more people connect with my name, the more opportunities open up, for me but also for the music itself. At the end of the day, I just want to create, whether that means being front and center or behind the boards.
What’s next for you? What does the future look like?
More music, more collaborations, more growth. I want to keep refining my sound, working with artists who inspire me, and pushing myself creatively. I see this as a long game. I’m constantly learning and working on creating music that stands the test of time. That’s the goal.
