The vibe tribe caught up with JEANP and ask him about his new debut album "Break Free" out now on Younan Music.
1- How long did it take you to write & produce your debut album "Break Free"?
-
The Album took about 2-3 months to write & produce,
Each track represents a certain phase or feeling I was going through personally.
2. What was the inspiration behind the album?
-
The “ Break Free “ Album was inspired by a period of personal and creative transition. The album reflects the process of letting go of limitations, expectations, and familiar patterns, and reconnecting with the freedom that originally drew me to music.
3. What production tools or plugins did you use most when creating the album?
-
When creating the album, I drew heavily from a variety of sample packs by artists I admire and wanted to support at that time, including Harvy Valencia, Ramon Bedoya, Angel Heredia, Chus, and Stefano Noferini. I used these sounds as a foundation and then reshaped them with my own processing and arrangement, adding my personal twist to create a blend of grooves and rhythms that define the album, but also supports the Label’s sound.
4. Any interesting (funny, shocking, crazy) story you'd like to share with us about this album?
-
At one point I scrapped almost half the album.
It was a different approach, & I wasn’t sure all the tracks would be signed, so I’m beyond grateful that they were, those moments are when I love what I do the most, when the music flows on its own. What started as a stressful moment ended up being the breakthrough that shaped the true meaning of “Break Free“.
