If you want to be successful, you should be prepared to suffer, to face the hurdles and difficulties that will be thrown at you at every step, so that when you reach the peak of success, you can look back and say that “All was Worth it”.
The same thing holds for every individual part of the creative industry, including the Music Industry. So successful people can tell you how they have reached their destination. The rivalry among artists, producers, and musicians leaves little room and positions for young budding artists. And to win this fiery competition, one has to be committed to his work.
Today, we will be talking about one such music producer who has led the road to success and has successfully reached his destinations with consistency and perseverance. Anthony Mirabella is professionally known as BEIIIA, and he belongs to Long Island, New York.
BEIIIA started his musical journey at the Berklee School of Music as a studio drummer. Music was his love, but he was very much into knowing and creating different genres. His passion for experimenting with different sounds led him to shift to film, where he was more aware of the production and creation of music.
When asked about his creative process, he replied that the beauty of his work lies in creating music that can connect with the listeners and spark a change in the emotions and feelings of his lovers. The creators of television and movies very much influenced BEIIIA. This is because we as an audience tend to connect with a character via music in which he or she is introduced. This kind of audio-to-visual translation inspired BEIIIA.
As an independent artist, he never expected a day to come when people would approach him for work. This would make his job nine to five or even a steady profession. So he is very fortunate to have the opportunity. He tries to finish his work before the deadline.
The most challenging part of being a BEIIIA is being motivated before finding a job, one must be very enthusiastic before starting a project.
The project close to his heart is the song he produced for the SpongeBob movie alongside Snoop Dogg. He also worked with the creators as well as the producers of SpongeBob. Sharing a set with such well-known personalities was the biggest highlight of BEIIIA’s musical career.
As for advice for emerging artists, BEIIIA quotes, “Be grateful for every opportunity that comes your way, big or small, and don’t get discouraged when things don’t work out as planned. Sometimes it takes a lot of time to find success, so consistency is key. Also, be open and put yourself in unfamiliar situations. Fear can keep you from growing and finding the most beneficial opportunities.”
