Three things you don’t know about me are that I’m a HUGE anime fan, I just started producing a little less than a year ago, and that I mix and master all of my own tracks.

Jordan Rietto in five words is “Creative Genius With Malicious Intent”.

My fav pre-studio traditions I guess would have to be eating something. I can’t record on an empty stomach.

My top five musical influences are: Childish Gambino, a number of Disney soundtracks, Linkin Park, Joey Bada$$, and Anderson Paak.

From what I can tell, the music industry is constantly shifting and evolving so no one can truly ever be comfortable. You have to learn to adapt. As long as you can accept that and work hard, you can excel.

I’d really like to show up on more DMV music promotion pages, I feel like my sound is different from a lot in this area and that I could help diversify the sound in the DMV. In addition, it’s a dream of mine to do the Five Fingers of Death on Sway In The Morning.

Shout out to my bros Stacey Wavves, Jb The Villain, (who also performed Thursday night), Temar, and Na$hade. They’re all incredibly talented friends of mine.

Ten artist that I’d like to work with include: Childish Gambino, Logic, Kali Uchis, Kaytranada, Goldlink, The 1975, Kanye West, Chynna, Travis Scott, and KYLE.
