Sven Zwetsloot, also known as Eyah has undoubtedly become one of the hottest reggaeton producers to come out of the Netherlands. He is known for blending sounds from different genres and cultures with reggaeton. “I’ve always been interested in various cultures, and they influenced my style a lot,” he says. “When I discovered my passion for music production, I felt the urge to experiment with these aesthetic sounds.”
Eyah has always been obsessed with proving people wrong. “The beginning of my career was difficult, my parents didn’t support my dream of becoming a music producer,” he says, and with the endless amount of competition in the reggaeton scene, it is easy for upcoming producers to give up on their dreams. Fortunately, this wasn’t the case for Eyah, he never stopped working on his career and advises other producers to overcome their doubts, “no one is going to believe in you if you don’t even believe in yourself.”
At an early age, Eyah felt the need to express his creativity. When he was fourteen years old, he practiced making beats on his school laptop with FruityLoops. He made them secretly during class with his friends and quickly became more than just a hobby, It transitioned into his passion.
“My advice to all the upcoming artists and producers would be; build your career step by step, don’t try to chase the trends and keep it real with yourself, trends come and go, stick to the plan, and enjoy the process.”
As of today, Eyah is working on new collaborations with big names in the Latin music industry and told The Source that we can expect a new release in February. However, the expectations for his first release in 2022 are high. He affirms, “the next release is something other than usual, we made an urban reggaeton track with South African influences.’’
