Kaytranada has what every producer strives for: an in demand signature sound. His records glide fluidly between four-to-the-floor house beats, hip hop sample flipping and P-Funk style 808 bass lines. It’s a technique he honed as a teenager, and one that grabbed the attention of star collaborators: Pharrell Williams, Mary J Blige, Alisha Keys, Anderson .Paak, and Kendrick Lamar. This year he’s nominated for three 2021 Grammys including Best Dance/Electronica Album for his 2019 release Bubba, and Best New Artist. But Kaytranada is hardly new to music, he’s been building a music career for over a decade. Switched On Pop’s Charlie Harding spoke with Kaytranada about how his DIY approach to production led him to music’s biggest stage.
