    Hi Hivers! Olu here.

    Today I want to tell you about the first time I sold a beat.

    I have to admit it was kind of funny the way our first client contacted us. He wrote us on acmbeats instagram thinking we were a music advertising company(that made me think you were sending the wrong message) and asked what the service was like, I told him we were providing a beatmaking service and not an advertising one.

    He was surprised and then immediately asked "How much is a beat?" at that time we were only charging $10. After telling him the price he added us to a whatsapp group where there were also other singers and they told us that they were all from Chile and that they were starting a big project over there, to which they also wanted to invite them but as we were just starting to know this world we didn't want to commit ourselves at that time and we preferred to continue developing our project on our own. And that's when the guy who added us asked us for a mambo and I said "fire".

    At first I thought that "Mambo" was the way they call beats in Chile and that he was asking me for a beat of some genre like trap or reggeaton which was the only thing we had published on the youtube channel at that time, but when he sent me the reference for the beat I realized that we were not talking about the same thing.

    Until then I didn't know that there was a type of merengue called mambo and I got scared because I had never produced a merengue before, and I felt that it was something very different from what I knew how to do, but I thought "I've already bought into the mess, I can't back out" So I told him that I gave myself a chance. I researched, analyzed and looked for some sounds very similar to the reference together with my cousin and we released for the first time in our life a merengue instrumental with which the client was satisfied and even asked us to do a couple of melodies more with some trumpets and he also loved that we made the melodies as he requested.

    After we gave him the beat, he wouldn't stop recommending us to his friends in the whatsapp group, we are even planning to produce an album for him and track a couple of them but... let's say it wasn't the same chemistry and in the end that part didn't come out too and we lost contact with time.

    But well I can't say that I didn't learn anything from this experience, where I realized that I still have a long way to go in this world but it served me as a great lesson and motivation to continue.

    ¡Hola Hivers! Por aqui Olu.

    Hoy quiero contarles como fue la primera vez que vendí un beat.

    Tengo que admitir que fue algo gracioso la forma en que nos contacto nuestro primer cliente. Este nos escribo por el instagram de acmbeats pensando que eramos una compañía de publicidad musical(eso me hizo pensar que estabas enviando el mensaje equivocado) y pregunto como era el servicio, le dije que nosotros estábamos dando era un servicio de beatmaking y no uno de publicidad.

    El sorprendió y luego de inmediato pregunto “¿Cuanto vale un beat?” en ese momento solo cobrábamos 10$. Luego de decirle el precio nos agrego a un grupo de whatsapp en donde también estaban otros cantantes y nos contaron que todos eran de Chile y que estaban empezando un proyecto gran por allá, al que también querían invitarlos pero como estábamos comenzando a conocer este mundo no quisimos comprometernos en ese tiempo y preferimos seguir desarrollando nuestro proyecto a parte. Y alli fue cuando el pana que nos agrego nos pido un mambo y yo le dije “fuego”.

    EL principio pensé que “Mambo” era la forma como le decian a los beat en Chile y que el me estaba pidiendo un beat de algun genero como el trap o el reggeaton que era lo único que habíamos publicado en el canal de youtube en eso tiempos, pero cuando me envió la referencia para el beat me di cuenta que no estábamos hablando de lo mismo.

    Hasta entonces yo no sabia que había un tipo de merengue llamado mambo y me asuste porque yo nunca había producido un merengue antes, y sentía que era algo muy distinto a lo que yo sabia hacer, pero pensé “Ya me compre el lio, no me puedo echar pa’tras” Así que le dije que me di era un chance. Investigue, analice y busque unos sonidos muy parecidos a la referencia junto a mi primo y sacamos por primera vez en nuestra vida una instrumental de merengue con la que el cliente quedo satisfecho he incluso nos pido el favor de hacer un par de melodías mas con algunas trompetas y también le encanto que hiciéramos las melodías tal cual como el las pedía.

    Despues que le entregamos el beat, no dejaba de recomendarnos con sus amigos en el grupo de whatsapp, Incluso estamos planeando producirle un disco y tema uno par de ellos pero... digamos que no fue la misma química y al final no esa parte o salio también y perdimos el contacto con el tiempo.

    Pero bueno no puedo decir que no aprendí nada de esta experiencia tan atropellada, donde me di cuenta de que me falta un buen camino por recorrer en este mundo pero que me servio de gran lección y motivación para seguir.
