T.E.C: Thank you for granting this interview, i had to come into your world and share it with other people who are also curious to know how a female can be in a position majorly dominated by men,when we hear the word producer, a man usually  comes to mind, but amazingly you are a lady, tell us,who is the Female producer?

LT:  I am Lady Trauma, I love music and I am so passionate about it! Out of everything there is in the world besides God Music means that much to me. I began producing at the age of 13 maybe 14 and I haven't looked back since.


T.E.C: What expired you to become a music producer?

L.T: Honestly I never saw myself producing. I was a drummer before anything..always beating on school desks and tables mimicking Timbaland beats or playing at church or my set in my basement. I ended up at Sam Ash one day a few days before Christmas and something told me to go over to the beat machine section..and the rest is history!


T.E.C : How long have you been producing professionally ?

L.T: I have been producing professionally for about 5-6 years

T.E.C: What are the challanges you face being a female producer ?

L.T:  I don't really face any challenges at least not yet. I feel like i've made a name for myself and people accept me and what I do. I think it all stems from people hearing about me by word of mouth so they know what it is beforehand


T.E.C: Who is your role model in music production ?

L.T: My role models are Stevie Wonder, Missy Elliott and Timbaland..those are my top 3, always and forever!! All of them are innovators and that I strive to be! At the end of the day I want the world to remember me for being innovating and not imitating and that's what each of them embody!


T.E.C: Have you worked with any major artist?

L.T: Well I produced for MGK (Machine Gun Kelly)   right before he got signed to Bad Boy but other than that I haven't worked with a major artist just yet but I believe that it will be happening really soon


 T.E.C: Can you name some artists you would like to work with?

L.T:  My top pick is Missy Elliott ! That is my dream and i'm not letting up until I make it come true! Also Pusha T, Kanye, Musiq Soulchild, India Arie, Stevie Wonder etc I just want to work with people who make GREAT music!


T.E.C: How competitive does it get for you being a female holding your spot in a  male dominated business?

L.T: Honestly its crazy because there aren't any other producers besides Missy in the industry so I gotta make sure I come correct and stay correct to let these men know I mean business..and I plan to let me music speak for me and my work ethic!


T.E.C: Most producers eventually become artist, do you see yourself becoming an artist someday?

L.T: Whats funny is, ,I was a rapper before I even thought about producing! lol But once I got more into my production I threw rapping to the wolves and stuck to my production. I don't regret it one bit!


T.EC: Now a bit more personal,Whats your zodiac sign?

L.T:  I am a Leo baby! Got the lioness tattoo on my arm and everything lol

T.E.C: Nice to know we share the same zodiac sign. Describe a day in the life of The female producer:

L.T: My day is very simple: Eat, Take a Nap and make music!! I don't go anywhere at all I just work on my music all day everyday! Im that dedicated!


T.E.C: Whats your favourite colour ?

L.T: Black and Blue I cant decide

T.E.C: Are you a religous person ?

L.T:  I LOVE GOD thats one thing that you can't take away from me!! And even though I grew up in the church, I really didn't develop a true relationship with HIM until I got shot. When I laid on the ground dying and I asked God to let me live and he did..I was like OK I really truly know that your real, I gotta tell everybody..I gotta get to know you more! Im still a work in progress but God is definitely the head of my life!


T.E.C: Name three artist in your hall of fame

L.T: Missy, Whitney Houston and Stevie Wonder

T.E.C: Whats your message to other girls aspiring to be producers:

L.T: If you're gonna do this DO IT!! Don't half ass it DO IT!!  We have a lot to prove so make sure you bring it..study, practice then study and practice some more!!!  I swear that's all I do is listen to every artist I can find dating back to the 30's, I watch tutorials on Youtube or documentaries. I want to know all there is to know and then some so I can apply it to my work. I have grown immensely in the 13 years i've been producing and its not just because i make beats its because of everything else I do. Listen!! Train your ear..man its so much. Producing is not as easy as people think it is but I my message is to NEVER GIVE UP!! Go For it!


T.E.C: Thank you for your time.We like you to give a special shout out to the special people in your life so they know you where truly here
