Welcome to SlamCast, where your hosts Neil and Brea chat with creatives about their process and how they navigate the grind of promoting themselves.This week on SlamCast, we’re excited to welcome Underbelly, a multi-talented producer, DJ, pianist, and YouTuber based in Portland, OR. You might know him from his popular YouTube channel, "You Suck at Producing”. Underbelly started playing classical piano at just seven years old, and his passion for music only grew when he discovered sample-based music at thirteen. From there, he began collecting vinyl and diving into music production with Ableton Live 8 in 2010. During his senior year of high school, he challenged himself to create one beat a day, setting the foundation for his prolific output. In this episode, we discuss his journey as the sole editor of his content and his experience in college film, which has influenced his creative process. Underbelly also shares how he maintains control over his releases by choosing which labels to work with, allowing him to stay true to his artistic vision. We dive into his innovative use of AI in music production, including generating songs with tools like udio and integrating AI into his album art. Plus, we explore how he comes up with ideas for his YouTube videos and the impact of AI on the music landscape.
