Johnny Juliano is a music producer from Pittsburgh, USA. He was born on December 28th, 1988. He has since relocated to Atlanta, GA. He is most commonly known for his music with Wiz Khalifa and also his independent instrumentals as showcased online. He is a hip hop music producer, but also makes music for other genres.

 

He started off by promoting instrumentals on myspace aged 15. He rapidly tasted success and moved on to transformed into one of the leading beat makers on soundclick.

 

Johnny Juliano has made over thirty hits with Wiz Khalifa, and also made music for French Montana, Big Sean, Nipsey Hussle and Soulja Boy. His greatest success until this point has been ‘Say Yeah’ with Wiz Khalifa.

 

He started up by working with Wiz Khalifa when he was still a youngster, where both artists grew up in Pittsburgh. He states some of his influences as Kanye West, Lil Jon and Just Blaze – to Daft Punk and Chromeo. He sometimes likes to include influences outside hip hop into his beats, making for an awesome fusion of styles.

 

Johnny first got started as a singer, but started producing music when he realised that he was more interested in the technical side of making beats. He classes himself as a instrumental maker rather than a true ‘music producer’ as he pretty much has no influence during the artist recording sessions as the artist records over his tracks.

 

This means that Johnny provides the instrumental only to the singer, who will then go into the music studio and put vocal parts over the beat, usually without Johnny Juliano being present. The rise of the online world makes this kind of process possible, as we can now send beats to people globally, who can go ahead and record their vocals in any studio, without the beat maker needing to help.

 

He is known to start crafting his music by recording a melody, before moving on to put down the drums, and then ‘filling in the blanks’. He has put out many popular videos online explaining his music making process.

 

He has shifted many hundreds of pounds worth of beats on the internet, and has released hundreds of instrumentals online for rappers and singers to record over.

 

He uses FL Studio as his main music production software, along with loads of keyboards and plug in instruments. He has also released his own hip hop drum samples, available to purchase online from The Producers Choice.

 

Johnny also gives advice on success for up and coming beat makers. He advises that using low cost marketing mediums like facebook and soundclick to push free beats and create a name for yourself online. This technique has succeeded for Johnny, who has a massive online following and now makes music as his profession. He also uses hip hop drum breaks in his music.

 

He is an member of several online beatmaker communities, and can always be found helping out younger producers and assisting them with using their talent.

 

Johnny is a real life success story of a talented musician who has forged a fantastic living doing what he loves
