We had the good fortune of connecting with Jaime Arroyo and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jaime, how do you think about risk?

Another way I would define risk is taking leaps of faith. It’s always better to say, “I tried”, instead of “I could have.”

Taking a risk is making a dream into a goal.

Pursuing a musical production career felt intimidating but had I never tried, I would have missed out working on awesome projects and having the opportunity to create with so many great people I’ve met, connected with, and learned from along the way.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Apart from just producing I also mix, compose and arrange music. Even though it’s one of the greatest joys of my life, it has come with its challenges, but what part of growth doesn’t?

The biggest lesson I’ve learned as a creative is to stay humble and hungry! Stay humble by knowing that there’s always going to be someone better than you and the point isn’t to compare yourself or compete, but to learn from them. Compete only against yourself.

And stay hungry to grow and learn more. No one has it all figured out. The sky is limit!

I love experimenting with sounds and genres—creating new fusions. Sometimes you just gotta trust your gut in the creative process. There’s lots of trial and error. Just enjoy and trust the process.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
To my Lord and savior Jesus Christ for giving me this opportunity in life to create with the Gift he has giving me

I’m deeply grateful for my incredible wife, who has stood by my side from the very beginning of my music production journey.
To my mentors and friends who inspire me daily to grow as a person, push me to persevere, and never stop believing in me—thank you.
