He started off by selling music online aged 15. He rapidly tasted success and has since become one of the leading beat makers on the internet.
Johnny Juliano has made over forty records for Wiz Khalifa, and also produced beats for French Montana, Big Sean, Nipsey Hussle and Soulja Boy. His greatest success to date has been ‘Say Yeah’ with Wiz Khalifa.
He started recording with Wiz Khalifa when he was still a youngster, where Johnny and Wiz grew up in Pittsburgh. He recalls some of his influences as Kanye West, Lil Jon and Just Blaze - to Daft Punk and Chromeo. He is known to include influences outside rap into his beats, making for an awesome fusion of styles.
He started out as a singer, but started crafting beats when he started to understand that he was more interested in the technical side of making beats. He classes himself as a instrumental maker rather than a true ‘music producer’ as he pretty much has no influence during the artist recording sessions as the artist records over his beats.
Usually, Johnny provides the beat only to the singer, who will then go into the music studio and record vocals over the music, most of the time without Johnny Juliano being there. The rise of the internet makes this kind of process possible, as we can now digitally deliver instrumentals to people across the world, who can go ahead and add their parts in their own studio, without the beat maker needing to help.
Johnny is known to start crafting his music by recording a melody, before going on to lay down the drums, and then ‘filling in the blanks’. He has released many popular videos on youtube walking through his beat making process.
He has sold many hundreds of pounds worth of beats online, and has released thousands of beats online for rappers and singers to record over.
He uses FL Studio as his main music production software, along with a range of keyboards and plug in instruments. He has also put out his own drum sample collection, available to purchase online from The Producers Choice.
Johnny also gives advice on music marketing for up and coming producers. He says that using free marketing mediums like facebook and myspace to give away free music and create a reputation for yourself in the industry. This strategy has worked well for Johnny, who has a huge online following and now makes music for a living.
He is an active member of several online beatmaker forums, and can often be found offering advice to younger producers and helping them harness their talent.
Johnny is a modern day success story of a hard working beat maker who has forged a great living doing what he enjoys
