Today we’d like to introduce you to Linten Rorie
Hi Linten, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I fell in love with music from a little kid. I started off with the drums. My mom says I came out of her stomach trying to play drums. I played drums for most of my life and fell in love with audio engineering around 2010. I started traveling playing drums with a local artist and the sound was always so horrible that I said I want to be the guy that fixes the sound issues. Shortly after I started to feel that way about audio my dad started his church and I had no choice but to get into the audio side and figure it out.
I graduated high school and then received an audio engineering certification from Broward college.
As years passed I started to fall out of love with drums and deeper into audio engineering. I started to mix and master records, record records, mix live shows, and do church installs and tune ups. I’ve also gotten into Executive producing. I’ve been doing it behind the scenes for years but recently started to actually claim the title outwardly.
I’ve mixed/mastered and recorded for both national and international artist. Some of those being. Ishika Purpose, Gerald Haddon, Dwight Moment, John Willingham Jr.John Muschett and DVP, Desmond and Sovereign and Blair Monique to name a few.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
No it hasn’t! But nothing easy is worth fighting for and nothing worth fighting for is easy!
I’ve been overlooked, not paid for stuff, taken advantage of, spent my last on stuff that didn’t work out. Received empty/broken promises and the list goes on.
But unfortunately that kind of comes with the territory growing in this business.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I record, mix/master records, and also produce.
Right now I honestly feel like I’m at place in time where I’m still working on what ever’s going to be that moment I’m most proud of.
What I feel sets me apart is my willingness to learn no matter how much people may think I already know. I feel like I’ll never get to a point where I can stop learning. But unfortunately there’s people with that mindset in the music business that thinks they’ve reached heights that other people can’t reach…
What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
Always willing to learn, try to remain positive even when everything around seems negative, being outgoing, having a level of patience.
