For Rogét Chahayed, every hit record begins the same way: with a musician chasing an idea. Whether he's digging through Kontakt libraries, improvising at the piano or jamming alongside fellow producers, his role is rarely to finish a song from start to finish, but to spark ideas that an artist can transform into a global hit.
It’s an approach that has made Chahayed one of modern hip-hop and pop's most trusted collaborators, and he’s developed a workflow designed to capture inspiration the second it strikes. Looking back on some of his biggest credits, he explains how both technology and collaboration have become equally important parts of his creative process.
