Michael Azuma is a 25-year-old artist/producer/engineer from Pleasanton, California. Armed with his first DJ controller at the age of 13, he began weaving and layering vocals and instrumentals to create mashups, slowly learning the basics of music production. In high school, he was inspired by the sounds of Skrillex, Porter Robinson, and Madeon, sparking his interest in making his own electronic music. Michael’s versatility has helped him stay competitive in today’s ever-changing music industry. Since graduating from USC’s Thornton School of Music with Honors, Michael has been pitching demos for the Japanese, Korean, and Chinese markets, working with companies like Lilith Games (Dislyte), miHoYo Co (Genshin Impact), Amazon Music, and working on his various artist projects. He continues to develop his own multifaceted sound, never tied down to a single identity, genre, or project.
Project files are essential tools for producers looking to take their skills to the next level and develop their sound. By providing access to professional-grade projects, these resources offer a wealth of benefits that can help you refine your craft and create standout tracks.
With a project file, you can study the track's mix and master, reverse engineer the sound design, and get an inside look at the arrangement. You can see how elements are layered, how chords are voiced, and discover new techniques and solutions to apply to your own productions. Additionally, project files often include pre-mixed sounds and synths, allowing you to focus on being creative without worrying about mixing from scratch.
Whether you're a beginner looking to learn from the pros or an experienced producer seeking to expand your skill set, investing in project files and templates is a smart choice.

What is phonk?
Phonk is a subgenre of hip hop and trap music directly inspired by 1990s Memphis rap. Mostly present on the SoundCloud platform, the music is characterized by vocals from old Memphis rap tapes and samples from early-1990s hip hop, often combining them with elements of jazz and funk. The genre deploys distorting techniques such as chopped and screwed to create a darker sound.
