SinceWhen wants everyone to know how magical and natural Lil Peep’s creative process was. Although Lil Peep isn’t the only artist that has reached unfathomable super stardom levels that SinceWhen has produced for, he claims Peep is the most naturally talented artist he has produced for. SinceWhen is one of the more reserved producers in the underground scene. Not to be confused with being shy, SinceWhen doesn’t care about super stardom; he only cares for the connections and lasting friendships he makes along the way in his musical career. If there was a single word to describe SinceWhen it would be ambitious yet humble. His down-to-earth attitude makes it easy for him to make thousands of friends that borders both the mainstream and underground.

While some might suggest that immediately attaching SinceWhen’s name to Lil Peep is annoying, SinceWhen doesn’t mind. His relationship with Gus (Peep’s legal name) isn’t something he’s ashamed of, and he doesn’t care about the many questions he gets about his close friend. However, it would be a tad frivolous if this whole interview was dedicated to his work with Peep. His style of production has changed the entirety of the underground scene as we know it. His signature style of lo-fi beats, coupled with heavily altered, screeching vocals, has changed the underground forever. You can hear an infinite amount of producers imitating – but never replicating – his sound. Arguably, his best work (which just so happens to be his pinned tweet) is ‘Your Name Is Still My Password.’ Many say that ‘Your Name Is Still My Password’ was the underground’s emo scene at its peek, and it forever changed the overall aesthetic of the underground scene. His style, arguably, helped talented artists like Lil Tracy, Bexey, ColdHart, and Lil Lotus define their sound. A secluded yet rebellious personality, a plethora of talented artists under his resume, and being a part of the best underground super-group comprising of some of the most influential producers of the underground scene, an interview with this legend is the closest we can get to underground gold.

How did the super group “Money Posse” get created?

Money Posse was created in the east coast i was literally 3 people at the time, tyler, smokeasac, and yung cortex. I was the 4th and last person to get in, i remember being at peeps house when smoke and cortex where like you should be in money posse and i was like holly shit, fuck yeah.

How did you meet the upcoming artist Smokeasac

I met smoke in 2015 when he made the move down from the east coast to cali. He came with young cortex and they needed a place to crash, at the time slight was living with me. I let them stay with me and the journey began.

How did you start producing music?

I played drums growing up, so I’ve always loved making music. I got a mpc2500 to finger drum cause i couldn’t fit my drum set in my new place. Then I switched from the mpc to ableton and started producing music.
