Kaytranada's like "I don't actually fuck with them like that, I work alone." lmaooo

[CantSpellAirWithoutAI]

First time ever hearing kaytranada’s voice.

[percaelumvolo]

this is his version of "this coulda been an email"

[creativechau]

I've listened to 500+ hours of his music and this is the first time I've heard his voice

[JennyKovacs]

As a master of his music, Kaytranada gets to do it in his own way. I haven’t met a mix, a DJ set or a tune he’s created that I haven’t loved 🥰

[JPR]

I feel him, sometimes you can only tap into your full depths to create something one of a kind when youre entirely alone. Very few people can you be in the presence of to spark that same thing

[cartermessner]

His collab with Kali Uchis was amazing

[INEEDUTOWAKETHEFUP]

This is also my first time hearing his voice😂but whatever his approach is in regards to making music.... it works! If it ain't broke don't fix it😊

[djsandy]

Being creative and coming up w ideas in front of other people is hella awkward. Especially if youre a musician that likes to experiment. Experimentation may start as crazy noise and get distilled into something beautiful and usable for a track.

*He is a smart man. Some people just waste your time by being stubborn or high. Get the stuff, do your magic and go. Ain’t nobody meeting up.* 😂 #IntrovertsUnite

[fernandovilla]

Context is important. When you make the kind of music Kaytranada makes being present with the other person isn’t as important. When you’re in a band setting and make a different type of music then it matters more.

Same here…some artists creative process completely kills mine

[JessicaKristy]

He's spoken about being an introvert, he's like me :)

[htfcm]

There's nothing better than working alone, at your own pace being 100% comfortable in your process and not feeling the judgement and just getting it done. I'm a massive introvert, so that's probably why I feel strongly about that.

[whenaubreyhearsthis]

I have never heard this man speak before. I have been listening to him for literally ten years

[CelebrityTarotTable]

He astral travels and can access the collaborators frequency very easily. That’s how he’s able to do that so well. Bcuz his work is excellent!

[ailimetfios]

Every time I see Kaytranada all I can see is the legendary boiler room set and I love it

[romeox]

Made me almost cry cause I relate to this so much… thought they was something wrong with me for wanting to create in my own space and send shit out, pple think I’m weird for that but I find myself working best that way

[visionsofpromise]

Well I mean he's been really good with his collabs so if it works for him then good for him

[TlholoKaraboMolapo]

Nothing is worse than being in the studio with a "Let it flow"...Artist, you don't have the luxury to relax as an Engineer. The studio is a cold beat factory, don't fuck around
