Beats creator dreams of making it big one day

Check out @thekstacks on Twitter to hear some of the songs Kyrique Jnofinn has helped produce.

“I’m going to college for computer science, but I make music in my free time.

“When I was a sophomore in high school I just got bored one day, so I found the software online and started creating beats. They’re mostly hip-hop, R&B and rap. I sell them to artists and other producers to use in their songs.

“You can make a little money at it. I sold one of my beats for $1,000. You don’t really need a full musical background to do this. You just have to know about music and know what sounds good.”

Do you have dreams of making it big in the industry?
“You never know. You can work hard to where people might start recognizing you and want to make music with you. Or you might just get lucky enough to be part of a big song that does really well on radio and the internet. We’ll see. It’s just kind of a hobby right now.”
