Rookes is a music producer, remixer, audio engineer, and artist based out of London, UK! In our conversation, Rookes shares her journey; transitioning from artist to producer as the pandemic set in, winning an MPG scholarship, and forming 2% Rising, a network for women and gender minorities in audio. She goes deep on her approach to working with artists, production, programming beats, and remixing. We also chat about the importance of having an abundance mentality, being open to collaborating with people who might have a different workflow than you, finding inspiration from other art, and so much more!
