yeah, you already made a thread about this the other day...

how are we supposed to know exactly what he used? and how are you unable to ask him about it? how do you "co-produce" a track with someone and then lose all contact with them?

anyway, how about you tell us how you came to "co-produce" this tune in the first place? how did it come together? did you make a demo and then hand it over to them? what was involved legally? how much cash are you raking in from this? will this get you other gigs in the future?

please explain.

from Wikipedia:
Writer(s): Faheem Najm, Justin Franks, Shawn Campbell, Taylor Ross, Eddie Serrano, Cody Simpson, Chloe Cunningham, Mac Faoro
Producer: Shawn Campbell, DJ Frank E


i'm guessing you're Taylor Ross, but for some reason you're not listed as a producer. how did you end up with just a writing credit, and why are there so many other writers credited?

I sent the demo to an A n R Atlantic records and they liked it. So Dj frank e got on it. Im listed as a song writer on wikipedia but i co produced with shawn and dj frank e. Also made the melody for the vocals. never met dj frank e and have no contact with him.

How is this not a more conservative version of whatever vowel-bass Skrillex is using? I mean, there's boatloads of tutorials on Youtube - almost impossible to not stumble over those.
