Interview:

Copydbwoy: Please introduce yourself.

Prettybwoy: I'm 33 years old DJ & producer. My real name is Nobuto, DJ-name is Prettybwoy. I'm from Tokyo, Japan.

Copydbwoy: My favorite question. What's the story behind your nickname?

Prettybwoy: Haha! Japanese girl loving to say 'Kawaii', which means 'Pretty'. I think, it's a catchy name for Japanese

Copydbwoy: That's awesome. Your name talks for itself, you are pretty young man, no homo.

Copydbwoy: Tell about mix you've done for my podcast. Where from did you get those tracks from?

Prettybwoy: Got some promos and dubplates to put in the mix so I used them in collaboration with MC Pakin who hosted this & dropped some bars in this mix.

Copydbwoy: How long do you produce/DJ?

Prettybwoy: As DJ I played for the first time in 2006. I'm making beats for three years, started in 2011.

Copydbwoy: What are your general musical roots?

Prettybwoy: 90's Hip-Hop and R&B, 00's 2step garage which I used to listen in my school days.

Copydbwoy: How it happened so you came to grime?

Prettybwoy: I like aggressive sound in UK garage. Dark garage and grime vibes.

Copydbwoy: Tell a bit about your production process.

Prettybwoy: In many cases, I basically make it from kick and snere. When a good beat is done I'm switching on further production when idea comes to me.

Copydbwoy: What kind of equipment do you use?

Prettybwoy: I use FLstudio. Laptop only.

Copydbwoy: That's wicked! You need almost nothing to do big things these days. That's where basic, grime idea came from. Do beats on whatever equipment you've got.
