Those that have been in the electronic and house scene may have heard of DJ Jesse Neo. “Music itself sparks creativity,” he told us. “An artist only needs to start creating music, and the rest of the ideas will flow.” Jesse Neo is a British-Australian singer, producer, DJ, and a songwriter. From a young child, he had been taking violin and piano lessons, and experimented with several audio workspaces in his free time. It was in 2017 when he decided to make it a fulltime career and eventually relocated to Los Angeles to be closer to the industry.
This talent was then joined by Milana Leybovich to create a state of the art music collaboration platform called Gemtracks. Milana Leybovich is a Los Angeles based singer, songwriter, and vocal producer. Milana is happy to be among the very few female producers that have worked with companies such as Disney and Fox as both vocalist and engineer. Her love of music began when she was three years old and claims music means a lot in her life. “I have been in the music industry for 17 years,” she revealed. “After see what goes on in the industry, I realized the number of female producers is quite low, hence I wanted to do something about it,” she added. Motivated by the reasons above, she decided to collaborate with Jesse Neo in creating a platform to help musicians sell tracks and collaborate.
Gemtracks is a public market that lists beats for sale and also acts as a collaboration forum where producers share ideas and exchange work. Singers can look for producers for advice and use a service to rent music studios. With each mastered track, the artists are also given the opportunity to release them via a playlist submission plan available on the website.
Currently, sellers on the website include producers and engineers all over the world from the US to Brazil that have worked with several major companies, including Universal, Warner and other independent labels. Many of them have also worked with established artists such as Taylor Swift, Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus.
“With technology becoming more and more essential in our lives, it makes me so excited to see how the music industry has also been affected by it,” Jesse revealed to us with an excited expression. “Now that the world is in quarantine, this has become even more apparent as the online world is the only space where artists can create their work and show off their creative sides.”
Besides being a marketplace, there is also plenty of other resources those new to the industry would be able to find useful. These include free guides, a Question and Answers board and even a database of gears used by famous producers. All in all, Gemtracks is a go-to spot for artists of every level.
So for all the artist, musicians and producers hoping to learn more, make sure you head over to Gemtracks now.
