How To ILLENIUM | From Scratch

Not interested in the production process? Skip to 24:40 to hear the final result!

In the first episode of my new series, I’ll be producing an ILLENIUM song in one hour, consisting of verse, pre-chorus, and chorus. I felt like it was only fitting to kick off the From Scratch series with ILLENIUM after I had already recreated ‘Hearts on Fire’ and ‘First Time’ as well as demonstrated how to remake his guitar sound. A big fan of his productions and melodies, I was beyond excited to challenge myself and produce an ILLENIUM song in one hour, while taking you with me through the creative process!
