JazzFeezy: Twitter, IG, Facebook, and the website. My handle is @Jazzfeezy. People speak of Snapchat and Linked In, but you don’t have to do them all at once. I need to get more credits, stay creative, keep working, and keep following up with different A&Rs, artists, and managers. Down the road, I may do the whole Snap Chat thing,

U.G. Digital Mag: I really appreciate this opportunity. This is something we love to do, showcasing producers man.

JazzFeezy: I appreciate that as well. The other thing is it’s become this “cool” thing [for producers] to not have things in publications like your, and people just see songs that you do. I think it’s just the big producers who are doing articles, and the other producers are less likely to reach out and do it. To me, that makes no sense. You should do every publication you can. You need them to help you, otherwise people won’t know your story.

U.G. Digital Mag: Right. Any kind of final thoughts at all?

JazzFeezy: It goes back to what I’ve learned the most. I think the biggest mistake I’ve seen is if you go to a networking party, and you get different email addresses for other producers, A&R people, or labels mates, I think the biggest mistake people make is they try to hit them up a week, month, or year after the fact. The best thing to do is hit them up right away so they at least know you’re serious. People always blame the A&R, but if the producer doesn’t even make the attempt to reach out, they don’t need the new guy. If you want to get into that infrastructure, you have to make that connection. So the best advice I can give is to follow up. You never know what kind of relationships can spark. The only one who suffers is that person.
