Slimdog Productions Perspective on I Don't Wanna
Hello there!!! I am David Bell Jr aka "Slimdog" and I am Slimdog Productions.
My mom and dad always played records ing the house. They had very ecclectic taste. Everything from Motown to The sound Of Philadelphia to Memphis Soul to The Doors to Vanilla Fudge to Sergio Brazil 66... I heard a wide range of music.
LoFi, Chillhop, RnB, Neo Soul
Prince...
The knowledge I would gain as an artist. Wow.
Because I love to make it.
Probably around 2004 when I had bought the MTV beatmaker for Xbox. Started making beats with that then discovered ejay loops and beat maker. I have a music background, I played drums from 5th through high school with marching band, orchestra and jazz band. I also deejayed in college for the college radio station and had a music night at the college 3.2 beer bar in the early 80s with a Hip Hop/R&B show in Colorado Springs from '83-'85.

When in 2014, the Hip Hop group Block Scholars that I was a part of, won the Hollywood Music In Media Awards Hip Hop Song Of The Year for "All Of My Life". A beat that I made.
Chill, relaxing, mellow, smooth....
Don't be a copycat. Do you, be you. If your love and passion shows in your work? That's when people show love and passion in you...
I was doing mostly Hip Hop beats 3 years ago and then I discovered LoFi and Chillhop music. The popularity of the 24/7 live study channels on You Tube. Now it's all I pretty much do.
Prince....
The Time...
Mint Condition...
A HUGE fan of The Minneapolis Sound.
Mint Condition because they are one of the most underrated R&B bands of all time. Writing is impeccable.
Mix of a range of styles and moods.
Me deejaying my favorite songs in a large lounge type atmosphere. Kind of like a "Soul Selection" vibe atmosphere. When I mix in one of my songs, I hear the people cheer as they nod their heads to my music.
