Description
Gold Coast based Producer/ DJ A.T.P lays claim to accomplishments that few Australian and New Zealand artists can match. Few producers can proudly display a platinum plaque for co-writing a No. 1 Single. (Savage – Swing). Even less are responsible for defining the sound of an entire region, having worked with every local artist of note, including producing lead singles for different artists. However, only one Australian-based Hip-hop producer can lay claim to a single that hit the US billboard charts, featuring one America’s biggest Urban artists.A.T.P (Add To Playlist) founder and CEO of BeatKamp Muzik) can lay such a claim.After achieving No.1 Success with Savage’s breakout hit SWING, and eventual placement within the hit comedy, Knocked Up, New Z ealand born AT P launched an assault on the US charts that was unmatched in down under hip hop. Four years after its debut, a US remix of Swing featuring Multi-Platinum rapper Souljah Boy & Pittbull is currently being serviced on US radio. ( “swing” has just sold in excess of 2million copies,double platinum record status), a feature no New Zealand or australian hip-hop artist/producer has ever before achieved.)Performances @ Festivals like “The Big Day Out” ,”Super fest” and opening acts for Lupe,Eve,Xzibit,Naughty by Nature to name a few Have also earned ATP and Beatkamp a great fanbase audience & Show credibility.Not content with producing tracks for other artists (hit singles included!)

– ydney based Producer/Dj A.T.P. (Aza Tha Producer), founder of BeatKamp Muzik. As one of Australia and New Zealand’s most respected and in-demand music producers, ATP has gone on to achieve what only few could dare to imagine. As the proud recipient of a platinum plaque for co-writing the No. 1 US hit single ‘Swing’for New Zealand hip hop artist Savage in 2010, that proved a definitive moment in the life of a producer hell bent on creating and defining the sound of the entire Australasian region. ATP has done the groundwork as a songwriter / producer, having lent his talent to the shaping of nearly every local urban artist in the region, from the producing of lead singles for a stable of different artists in the country. Clearly a producer who believes that the ingredients for the perfect beat lies in that light bulb ‘AHA’ moment accompanied by a thumping drum beat and a mixture of hip hop, soul and creativity is all that is needed make him switch into production overdrive. ATP has secured himself firmly in the New Zealand & Australian music industries with stellar collaborations in which he has either produced or co-written along with the likes of some of Aerotera’ s most respected & successful artists: Savage, Dkonz, Scribe, PNC, David Dallas, Pieter T, Illegal Muzik, Aaradhna, Donell Lewis to name a few. Closer to shore ATP adds to his impressive list of artists he has worked with namely: 360,Illy,Will Singe of X factors The Collective, Bombsquad, Bonnie Anderson, Jessica Mauboy, LazyJ, Joel Fletcher and globally U.S rapper Speech (of Arrested Development), Eric Bellinger, Soulja Boy and Pitbull. The list goes on but the prove is in the pudding, ATP and Beatkamp Musik are stepping to the beat of their own drum, chartering musical territories unmarked by any other music producers in this corner of the world and leaving their mark on not just the hip hop community but the global music as a whole

My journey in Hip Hop and Music started at a young age. I grew up around a Musical family who played in Band’s and Church. As a kid in the late 80’s/90’s I was inspired by Michael Jackson, Bob Marley & Bobby Brown. It wasn’t until high school that I really got into West Coast Rap & Hip Hop. If I can remember it was Straight Outta Compton, All Eyes on Me, Snoop Dogg (Doggy Style) albums that kicked started my journey. Dr Dre and early Timbaland were my early inspirations for production. Coming from a Musical background & playing the Guitar I’ve always had melodies in my head that needed to be brought to life. So I studied up on recording software, mastered it & that’s exactly what I did. (Brought the ideas to life.) Passion, Drive & Knowledge of the game is what has kept me here so long.
I think the quality of production in Australia and Australian Music is in a good place right now across most genres. From experience a lot of U.S/International Artists have hit me up for beats with that down under Future RnB or Electronic Hip Hop type sound, since local artists like Lorde, Flume, Iggy, Timmy Trumpet, Savage have broken down the U.S barrier on a Billboard scale. Also the quality of unknown upcoming producers I’ve worked with are super dope with a newskool outlook on fusing Electronic/Deep House/Down Tempo Music with Hip Hop. Sounds new and fresh, I love it! Blueprint…..hmmmm. Australia major labels are usually asking me for U.S or chart sounding urban club bangers. TBH there isn’t really a blueprint for Kiwi/Poly/Maori Producers. I’m actually creating and documenting a Blueprint now as I go along. Hopefully opening doors so in future I can help others and there will be the Blueprint to follow.
