Never mind the fact that Ivan Novich is only 19 years old, the dedication he has to his craft has led him to enjoy a level of confidence and experience that rivals any professional DJ or producer. Starting at age 6 when he was gifted a small electronic keyboard for Christmas; Ivan began the process of what proved to be an arduous journey into the realm of music producing.
Novich shared the same frustrations as most budding producers as he struggled with primitive audio software and a lack of knowledge on what was available. However this didn’t deter him from exploring the resources he had to their full extent, leading to the fully formed sound we hear in his work today.
