Multiple award-winning sound engineer, songwriter and singer, Iloyi Oluwole Adebayo, aka Indomix has shared some experiences he would never forget in a hurry in his career.
Indomix, who claimed to have trained some big producers in the Nigerian music industry, said one experience nearly ruined him.
“I will never forget when I was nearly ruined. If not for God and people I would probably have gone down and might have found it difficult to rise again.
“It was a harrowing experience when my hard drive that contained multi-million naira data and content crashed. I thought my life too had crashed. I nearly lost everything I had worked very hard on and invested so much. But Thank God I got over it and moved on,” he shared in a chat with our reporter.
Indomix has encountered some challenges in his business of making music. As a music producer,he has had to make music for some artists, using his own resources.
According to him, this business move doesn’t always turn profitable as it could turn sour.
“It is quite painful, as a sound engineer working for an artist with your resources and later the artist betrays you. Music in Nigeria is great and superb. Social media makes it easier than before and I believe it gives more chances,” he said.
Indomix has made a huge name for himself in the music industry and he is proud of his achievements having helped to discover many budding talents and nurturing them to maturity in the music space.
According to him, his passion is making music from scratch. He writes songs, turns them into good music and also goes into the production aspect of it.
He said his versatility is his forte as he could blend different genres of music together to produce a great production.
“My sound after production stands me out from others out there. I do all genres around Afro music. It’s good to be versatile so the audience doesn’t get tired of your sound.
“Making music starts with creating percussions then moving to instruments after voicing. Once that is done I move to mixing them together and export it for mastering. I mix and master my sounds, and I’m unique in my craft,” he stated.
