Welcome back to Two Beers With The Band for the second part of our interview with LeVan The Man! After sharing his background as a photographer and producer, we dive deeper into the mindset required to sustain a creative career. LeVan opens up about the crucial connection between mental health and music , discussing his personal use of meditation and how the focused mindset from physical exercise (like doing 100 pushups) directly translates to his creative flow.
The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we explore the intentionality behind his beats. LeVan discusses his process for creating roughly 1,000 beats and how he uses his understanding of frequency and emotion to influence the mood of his tracks—whether he's aiming for happiness, calmness, or aggression. We also talk about his diverse musical tastes, from the legendary uniqueness of Prince to the unexpected combination of Macho Man Randy Savage and "Savage" as his guilty pleasure song. This is a must-listen for anyone interested in the technical and emotional art of music production.
