In the Stu With JayFee

-

I've known Jordan Fiesta (JayFee) for a while now.  Like the days of skating Mount Trashmore (Skate park) when there weren't any other parks around to skate...( within a 5 mile radius). I met this dude through skateboarding and we've both managed to express our creativity through other outlets after skateboarding. Jordan Fiesta is a producer based in Virginia Beach, Va.The Hometown of Pharrell Williams, one of my favorite artists / producers in the music industry.

Derrin Thompson: For the audience, tell us what you do.

Fee: I am a Hip-Hop and R&B Music Producer.

D:What's it like being a producer ?

Fee: Its a lot of work. The lifestyle is crazy. A lot of long days and nights grinding. A lot of pain, a lot of happiness, and a lot of dedication.

D:How long have you been producing?

Fee: Ive been producing for eight years, going on nine. Going harder every year.

D:What got you into this line of work?

Fee: Really, band class. Drumline. I played anything percussion. Jazz band, playing the drumset too.

D: Who are some of the artists that you have worked with?


Fee: Mo Pain, Baby E, Lex Luger, VABP, Yowda from MMG. A lot more coming soon, just wait on it!






D: Who are some of your influences and inspirations?

Fee: Pharrell, Timbaland, Pusha T, FAM-LAY. Any major Producer from Virginia. I put Kanye in that too. Very big inspiration, dude.

D: Are you currently working on any projects like beat tapes or anything similar?

Fee: Tourist Season 3 Drops on April 29th 2018. On my mothers birthday.

D: Can you describe your creative process when making music?

Fee: Really, its about patience, and not sounding like anyone. Don't listen to just Hip Hop. Like to Rock, Hardcore, 80s Soul. Even country, haha.

D: Can you tell us what TMOG is?

Fee: TMOG is a brand that was introduced by Super Producer, Lex Luger. TMOG stands for Team Made of Greatness.

D: I see that you're a father, I know how hard it is to balance family, your passion, and tasks through everyday life. How do go about doing so?

Fee: Its stressful at times, a lot of hard work and sacrifice comes to what you want to do. Thats anything you want to do in general. Weather you want to be a doctor, a lawyer, etc. I lack of sleep sometimes because I'm occupied, busy as hell. Haha. Gotta get up and go get it by any means necessary.

D: Anyone you want to shoutout?

Fee: Damn right! My baby boy Kadence, I love you son. The whole BMO and TMOG Fam. Black, Teddy, Duke, the whole VABP. All the Local homies that supported me since day one when I didn't have shit. Aroma Jones, DMOS VAgrind, Bandana, SidIMGood. RudeassMogli, Motrboi, Banks. Shoutout to Virginia Hardcore too, GG, Kolby, Shizzy, JProv, Lil Zachariah, Wes, Steven.

The Wedidit boss, real name Henry Laufer, grew up in LA and gained much of his musical education through skate videos – the grainy, DIY aesthetic and raw sounds coming to make an indelible imprint on his own work. The VHS skate tapes he collected for repeat viewing got him hooked on rap music and beat-led stuff, becoming his entry point into artists like Amon Tobin, DJ Shadow and Flying Lotus. On the brink of dropping his first album in four years, ‘The End’, via Friends of Friends/Wedidit, Shlohmo explains that the LP is “vaguely about the end of the world, but from the viewpoint of smoking on the couch during the extinction event. Reading a nice book while the meteor hits. The fake peace of insularity during chaos.” On the apocalypse-themed album, which arrives next month, he’s used toy drum machines, a Korg Mono...
