The Beat Yard: How long have you been making beats?
Tower of Confidence: Well started making beats when I was 20 so 14 years!!!
The Beat Yard: Why do you call yourself Tower of Confidence when making beats?
Tower of Confidence: Brian Kocher is the the salesman with integrity and respect. Over the years Brian has been rejected numerous times on the sales floor. Brush your shoulders off "Jay Z" and have fun. Requires a lot of confidence. Therefore my my confidence is that of a tower.
The Beat Yard: How would you describe yourself as a beat maker?
Tower of Confidence: Super motivated, determined to make the hottest beat every time. Focused to bring the fans in!!!!!
The Beat Yard: Who have you made beats for, other than yourself?
Tower of Confidence: Jody Jo, Big Train, Hazel, Robinlynne Mabin both of my brothers, Drew Covington, my sister, my daughter, Luis Luchega, Jullian, Joe Fox, Barbarian, Slang D, Cato, James panther and leased a lot of beats. Now I am only selling them.
The Beat Yard: Who are some artists that have brought out the best in your production?
Tower of Confidence: Jody Jo, Big Train, Hazel, Robinlynne Mabin both of my brothers, my sister, my daughter, Joe Fox, Barbarian, Slang D and Cato.
The Beat Yard: Do you prefer to be hands on with an artist or do you prefer to just send a beat to the artist and have them do their thing on it?
Tower of Confidence: I now treat all my services as a business, what ever works better for the artist, I'm game!!!!
The Beat Yard: What has been one of your worst experiences as a producer and what did you learn from it or how did you bounce back?
Tower of Confidence: I would have to say, working with my friend at the time the producer TJ Williams also known as the Duke. I was in the state of learning the roles as a producer. He started showing me the ropes, as I progressed he became very jealous and tried to stir me away, to just focus on rapping. (laughs) We are no longer friends, as a result I exceeded as a hot universal producer.
The Beat Yard: What do you use to make your beats?
Tower of Confidence: I would have to say I started out making beats on the famous fruity loops, as time goes on I am more accustomed to reason and logic.
The Beat Yard: Who are some of your favorite producers?
Tower of Confidence: Lex luger and Jonny Julliano
The Beat Yard: Is there anything you would like to plug? Any shout outs?
Tower of Confidence: Shout out to my Wife for working so hard, Shout out to Robinlynne for keeping the Vibes Live, and shout out to my fans for peeping me out every now and then.
