Life & Work with Krishon Gaines of Nashville, TN

Today we’d like to introduce you to Krishon Gaines

Hi Krishon, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I’ve been inspired by music since growing up as a little child watching my older brothers make music. Growing up in the church, music was always a part of our lives. I went to SAE institute for Audio to progress my knowledge and skills. From there I started working with artists around Tennessee which expanding my sound worldwide. Always growing, working, and upping my skills and talents has been the key to success.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Usually no road is completely smooth. Especially in music. There is extraordinary talent all over. Competition is high. Being able to separate your sound from others is key. Always keep going, Don’t give up. You can go months or years working with no placement or traction, but that one song or beat can take you to the next level. That is key.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am a multi RIAA gold and platinum music producer. I have executive produced multiple albums. I have worked with Young Dolph, Key Glock, Meg Thee Stallion, Nipsey Hussle, Gucci Mane, Pooh Shiesty, 50 Cent, Lil Baby and others. My Producer Tag “Let the Bandplay” is known for my hard hitting beats.
