This was an EXCLUSIVE interview that I did for a new newspaper called "Long Island Billboard" created by Shawn Davis (of Real Tyme Studios). Though it hasn't been published I decided to leek it before the song's buzz completely dies out.
*taps on Long Island Billboard mic* It's the one & only Ms NewShoes baby!! I just wrapped up my interview with one of the hottest producers out right now! JOE LINDSAY! Not sure who i'm talking about? you heard his production before ... his latest work "Everyday Coolin' " that Swizz Beatz is on that has the club JUMP-PING!!
LONG ISLAND BILLBOARD:Who is Joe Lindsay? Where are you from?
JOE LINDSAY:I'm an up and coming music producer,25 yrs of age, from Long Island ,NY. I've lived everywhere from Freeport, to Farmingdale, to Nigeria, but I rep LI.
LONG ISLAND BILLBOARD:How did you get involved with music? What draw you to hip hop?
JOE LINDSAY:If U ask my parents, I was destined to do music from birth. Ever Since I could remember, music was in me. As a kid, Beating on pots and pans, beatboxing, banging on pianos, singing,etc was a normality for me. Specifically, when I saw Rodney Jerkins( producer "darkchild") as a teen producing for Michael Jackson and Brandy, that's when I decided to get into making beats.
LONG ISLAND BILLBOARD:Your an upcoming music producer, that has not only produced for up & coming indie artist but main stream artist such as Tone Trump, Rick Ross & (recently produced for one of the hottest producers in the game right now) Swiss Beatz " Everyday Coolin" ft Eve. A lot of people thought that Swiss Beatz himself produced this beat. How does it feel when people compare your sound to Swiss Beatz? How would you describe your style as a producer?
JOE LINDSAY:Its expected for people to think Swizz made the beat because it sounds like something he would make. That's why he picked it. But yea, I made the beat and Swizz made it a Hit. S/O to Swizzy for this major opportunity. My sound goes far beyond that record tho. I actually made that beat in 15 mins. God has blessed me to have the capability to make music of many genres and styles. So when u hear my music u get a taste of everything.
LONG ISLAND BILLBOARD:
Your latest production "Everyday Coolin" has clubs jumping every time the dj puts it on & people bumping their heads/ moving their bodies when this tracks comes blasting through their speakers. Did you think when you were creating this beat that someone of Swiss Beatz status would buy it & be on it? The ratings on this track are through the roof! It has been getting spins on two of the hottest main stream radio shows in N.Y. :Power 105, Hot 97,,video play on 106andpark.com & even over seas. Did you ever think that this track would get the positive feed back that it has?
JOE LINDSAY:I personally didn't like the track before Swizz put his vocals on it. All my homies thought I was crazy. But I originally made it for Nicki Minaj but she wasn't feeling it. Then I sent it to Swizz's people and about 2 weeks later they put it out. Immediately, I had people callin my fone tellin me they heard Swizz on one of my tracks. I actually was told kids in middle schools and high schools were bumpin it after the first day. I def didn't expect it to get this big. S/O to all the radio stations and internet sites who are supporting the record.
LONG ISLAND BILLBOARD:
Who are some people you would like to work with in the future? What are some things we can expect from you in the near future?
JOE LINDSAY:I just wanna make good, clean music with great artists. Unfortunately, there are a lot of great artists that people don't know about. I love making classic records with unknown artists and giving them their big break. I'm currently working on projects with Nachbi, a very talented singer/musician and also Sam B, an amazing singer/songwriter. Both of them are affiliated with Plan A Music Group. Other dope artists u should look out for are Mike Flowers, Antonia Simons, and Timothy Jean. Those artists are forces to be reckoned with. They are truly blessed by God. Besides that, Just look out for good clean music from ya boy Joe Lindsay.
LONG ISLAND BILLBOARD:What do you strive to achieve every time you create a beat?
JOE LINDSAY:I always try to make music people can FEEL. A lot of music today sounds good but u can't FEEL it. So that's def one of my goals. I also try to be versatile with my music. People play music for all different occasions. I want my music to be able to be played anytime and anywhere.
** Advice to up & coming producers such as yourself** To all up and coming producers/artists, I would advise you to stay work extra hard and smart, maintain good relationships with people, and always keep God first and n e thing is possible.
