Welcome back to For The Creators, where its our job to tease out tips and tricks from all kinds of creatives whether they're Musicians, Presenters, Actors, Directors, DJs, Writers Entrepreneurs and everything in between..

Today I sit down with Will Lite (@willlite), a producer and Recording Studio Designer. Will has worked with the likes of Ludacris, Rita Ora and We Are Scientists. I really enjoyed this conversation, we explore how construction can be creative, journey back through the early days of Grime music in the UK and discuss the thoughts that come up as a producer when in a studio session.

I’d urge you to listen through to the end of this one, as the conversation moves into some very interesting places.

Note: This was one of the first episodes we recorded so there are some mistakes!

Please enjoy this wide ranging conversation with, Will Lite.
