I’m an aspiring beatmaker from St. Petersburg, Russia. I’m 17, and my name is Andrey. I started out with the Detroit sound, but now I produce basic, straightforward trap; I’ve also experimented with old-school type beats, but trap is my main focus.

I currently use software such as FL Studio.
I use a keyboard and mouse, and sometimes a microphone to record a new voice tag.
I listen to Morgenshtern and can easily recommend him; he has a wide variety of songs across different genres—including drill, rage, and even a Detroit-style track. He has frequently changed his genre and persona, and if you live in Europe, you can easily attend his concerts, as he has already completed a world tour.
Since I’ve started talking about Morgenshtern, I can mention the album *Last One*; it marked the toughest period of his life, as he had been expelled from his own country.
Since I’m from Russia, the artists who influence me and whom I listen to are also from Russia—one I can name is Morgenshtern.
However, there are Western artists who inspire me as well, such as Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, Young Thug, and Future—mostly trap artists.
I create a variety of music—I can make aggressive trap or a calm composition, fast tracks or slow ones, and pieces with either a multitude of samples or very few. Because of this, I can't easily name artists whose style is close to mine, though I suppose I could mention someone like Morgenshtern.
