What made you decide to become a music producer? Becoming a producer?
I just always knew what I wanted to do, and since 3-4 I’ve pretty much worked on THAT.
How did you come up with the stage name Rahk?
An old head gave it to me. I used to sample heavy until I embraced my Musician side fully. You know, It was the IN thing with Ye looping up soul samples. My big bro is Pete. So when I switched schools nobody knew my name, They called me Lil Pete. Pete Rahk. Also one of my favorite producers at the time. So you will see some people still call me Pete, Some Credits as Pete Rahk (Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, Tyga, etc) and then now I’m just Rahk.
In your opinion who is the most influential and successful artist in your genre today and why?
To answer that I would have to have a genre. I go with the feel man haha. Success means different shit to different people. If you’re not being yourself, the level of success as an individual to me isn’t there. Everybody doing what they want, and being who their mothers raised them to be, I admire them. You are influential. Lets bring back the art.
What software or equipment do you prefer using?
Ableton Live, MPC2500 or Renaissance, Logic.
