The Quiet Confidence Of Ethan Rose Q&A
For Ethan Rose, producing timeless music is his goal which is why he’s consumed with his vision. With the help of his tight-knit team, he’s created a comprehensive plan that’s helped him constatly build on the art he’s creating. After spending years fine-tuning his craft while simultaneously learning about the business side of music, Ethan Rose is now more confident than ever in his vision. I caught up with the RnB artist to understand his upbringing, influences, how to be sustainable as an artist, and his goals.
Your sound pulls from different genres and one instrument I hear clearly throughout your songs is the guitar. You must have a pretty great team that knows you enough to know your sound and what will and won’t work. How did you meet your producer? I met the executive producer of my first three singles, Aaron Dean, through my friends Matan and Eldan who actually all went to school together. They knew he was talented and thought we’d collab well sonically, so they linked us two and in the first studio session we finished a song in a couple hours, which was something special because a lot of times it’s not like that. There’s a lot that goes into the back end of music and the synergy involved in it. There will be times where 90% of a studio session is mixing vocals for a particular part of a song that I recorded like five times, and picking the best sounding cut from it. It could be really tedious or smooth and that’s why having a great team and support system really helps. It’s funny with creativity because there’ll be times where you’re staring at your computer for hours and have nothing. I find what works for me is stepping away and clearing my mind then all these ideas come to me. That’s just my process and what works for me, but what is your creative process like when it comes to creating music? Sometimes I’ll get the baseline of the beat and write something to it and we’ll go right in to record, but a lot of times my best melodies come to me in the shower
