Today we’d like to introduce you to GODWORK.
Chris, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I started making music around my sophomore/junior year of high school. It started out as just something fun to do with my friends but it didn’t take long before I started to take it seriously. When I got to college, I started to sell beats online and learn more about the music industry. Everything about the music business interested me so I continued to make music through college and develop my sound.
Has it been a smooth road?
With music, I don’t think there is a such thing as a smooth road. There will always be complications that can stunt growth, mainly because of how much creating music relies on one’s own creativity and inspiration. Communicating with artists, droughts in beat sales, and just overall lack of creativity are constant struggles that I deal with on a monthly basis.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with GOWORKBEATS – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
So basically, I make beats for artists and sell them on an e-commerce website, but that is just one half of my whole business. I also specialize in artist development and songwriting. I’m very into creating careers from the ground up and I very much like to be intrinsically involved in every artist’s career that I work with. I think that sets me apart from other producers similar to me because my process of working with an artist is not just “make a beat, send it and wait for a response” it’s more about building a deeper relationship and understanding what the artist is trying to achieve and then elevating their sound.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
The greatest thing about Houston, music-wise, is the talent. There are so many talented artists in this city, I just wish more people knew about them. I think one thing I think would need some improvement is the camaraderie between artists. Everybody is doing their own thing separately from each other and I think what makes cities like Atlanta become music hubs is the fact that everyone is working collectively and everybody knows everybody there. There is a real synergy and that’s something I’d like to see for Houston because we already have the talent.
