How did you learn to make beats?

I used to play other people's beats off of the radio. Then my sis had a boyfriend that rapped. She told him that I can make beats because she really thought for some reason that I did. So when he asked me if it was true. I lied and said, "Yeah I can make beats." I made up something real quick. (EVerything was in one take back then.) I went downstairs, played it for him, and he liked it. So he took me to a studio and I laid my first track.

I learned by watching everybody else. Plus i played a few instruments in the band so i always liked to make music. So its kind of a natural thing too.

I learned by teaching myself... It's hard when you first start off but you'll get the hang of it quickly... But there's so much more that just making loops... When I started I didn't know anything about mixing or mastering, compression, side-chain, etc.

Elementary School....I was in band class since the 4th grade...until high school 10th grade. I played brass (trumpet), but dabbled with all the other instruments on my spare time or when someone was absent.
