Today we’d like to introduce you to Ahmad Fielder.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
With music, it all started when I was a sophomore in high school. I’ve always loved music and studied many genres, but never truly created for myself. And one spring day, I mustered up the courage to make my first beat using the Fruity Loops software, and I never looked back. Eventually, I would move on to create my own instrumental albums/concepts and collaborate with other artists and musicians. Furthermore, I enhanced the experience even more by combining my music with the abstract art visuals I create to create a narrative. I am truly grateful that I decided to explore my creativity 15 years ago.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
While there have been some great moments throughout my creative journey, there have been some trials and tribulations as well. There were moments when opportunities didn’t come to fruition due to poor timing or other parties moving on to something else. But when one opportunity closes, another one opens, and the right chance will come to you when timing is correct.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am a color designer, musician, visual artist, and beat maker. I color sneakers and create color concepts in the footwear industry by day and create music/artwork by night. Being a color designer allows me to get my creative juices flowing outside of work and helps me develop meaningful concepts and stories for my own personal projects. I am extremely proud of the conceptual instrumental albums I’ve created so far, thanks to the inspiration I’ve gained over the last few years, which makes these projects special and unique.
In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
For the music industry, I see some major shifts over the next 5-10 years. I believe the technology and software will be much faster and more accessible to obtain, especially with Artificial Intelligence involved. AI will make mixing, mastering, stem separation, and songwriting. There could also be a return to physical media for loyal and supportive customers/fans who seek tangible items, such as collectibles, to create an intentional listening experience.
