LTB On the Making Of “Slow Down”
Can you tell us about the inspiration behind "Slow Down" and the story it tells?
"Slow Down" is a song that I wrote based on a personal moment of anxiety and stress. One night, I found myself sitting on a balcony, feeling completely overwhelmed by life. It was at that moment that I decided to slow down, taking a deep breath. Surprisingly, that simple act brought me a profound sense of peace and serenity that I hadn't experienced in a long time. I wrote "Slow Down" to capture that very moment and as a message to anyone else who might be stressed or overwhelmed, encouraging them to take a step back and find their own moment of calm.
Can you talk about the recording and production process for "Slow Down?"
I handled the entire recording and production process for "Slow Down." It was quite a lengthy and challenging journey that often involved late nights of work, but I'm incredibly proud of the end result. To help with recording, mixing, and mastering, I enlisted the assistance of GDA Productions from Millersville, Maryland.
What do you like the best about this track?
What I appreciate most about "Slow Down" is the production of the track. I set out to challenge myself and improve my production skills, and I believe that this song reflects the hard work and dedication I poured into that aspect of it.
Can you tell us a bit about yourself and how you got started in music?
A little bit about me: I'm from Annapolis, Maryland, and I'm currently a student at Belmont University. In addition to my passion for music, I'm also a big fan of fantasy football and sports in general. I have a habit of staying up until midnight just to listen to new music releases on Fridays. My journey into music started early in life when I sang in my school's chorus, participated in recitals, and developed a deep love for radio hits like "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley. High school was a turning point for me when I discovered Ableton and began creating my own music. I continued to be involved in music through solo choir performances, musicals, and open mic nights. Now, living in Nashville, I'm surrounded by a vibrant musical atmosphere that I can't wait to explore further.
Are there any specific themes or messages that you aim to convey through your music?
Through my music, I aim to share my personal story and experiences. My goal is to connect with others who can relate to my music and share my passion for music with fellow enthusiasts worldwide. Music is my way of self-expression and a means to connect with my audience on a deeper level. I'm excited to continue this journey and see where it takes me.
