love this guy, no crap talking just straight up good music
OMG The voice of the guy is AMAZING *-*
Mattia F. His name is Will Jordan, check him out he's super dope
I was 6 years old when that song came out and I was so in love with it. And I'm 19 now still jamming into it. Man I love throwback songs --- they're biggest part of my childhood. Always remember this. Never forgotten. J.R. Rotem rocks!!!
Sometimes what gets the win, is knowing how to use different tools to accomplish one goal, he used a guitar player, he used writers, he used his own talent to create something. Sometimes you cannot do EVERYTHING by yourself. Knowing when to ask for help is critical. Great lesson. peace
I'm so glad JR does this stuff. He is constantly giving back to up and coming producers/songwriters. Much appreciated, thank you!
amazing piece of music, lyrics and two perfect voices. Just amazing
Watching videos on J.R Rotem producing really inspires me. Just shows a song can be made from the simplest of idea's, although the process of making the track may be difficult. Thanks for sharing!
genius. love this song always and forever ;)
he uses fantom keyboard, motif sound module and triton keyboard for most of his sounds..and MPC for his drums.
I was absolutely inspired by this song.! I've been a Nicki fan/supporter and I've seen her grow & this is one of those songs where you can hear that {Message, production, & over all artistry} The guy singing the original hook has some mad vocal power on him as well -3 S/O to RiRi for making it come alive for Nick.! Hope to see more JR behind the Hit *SMOOCHES*
his production inspired my earlier youth..
He is a South African, you can tell. We love you J.R
Thank you for the behind the scenes footage of "Fly". this is AWESOME!!
Even 50% is pushing it. Especially for a song like this with so many people working on it. I would say 20% if your lucky. Artists make way more performing these days. Producers basically need to compose and produce the entire track from the start to get there fare share.
J.R Rotem is a Songwriter/Producer as he's technically wearing two hats. Making beats is Co-Writing. Producing is overseeing the production and recording of the finished record. That's why J.R Rotem gets both Writing and Production credits. Most Hip Hop Producer's are traditional Record Producer's that Co-Writes the music such as providing the beat. But, not all Record Producer's Co-Writes or have anything with making beats as P-Diddy is a Producer and he doesn't make beats. So if you Co-Wrote half of the song all by yourself such as making the beat, you automatically own 50% of the song.
Making magic
Jr rotem you are truly my idol
Splice's video brought me here
Congratulations Fam!! #1 coming soon.. Start writing your speeches fellas..
❤❤❤❤❤❤love it my two queens 👸 👸👸👸👸👸
awesome!!!! hope we get more!
Such an amazing song.
I'd like to hear the song with the vocals from the guy on the demo so much !!!!!!
Looks like a newer version of ProTools to me... This guy knows his way around a synthesizer and is an enviable arranger as well. Props to you... I hope one day we will cross paths. Cheers!
i hope every one of us who really wants to be a producer gets there! :) merry christmas
His synths are the best ever
yo jr rotem is fukin boss, he just knows wassup, propsss
Love it
The famous Beluga Heights
J what’s up man S/O from AD-The Pen & MikeTV 👌🏾😎
According to my research nicki minaj kinda wrote the intro part (rap part) then they created chorus which takes only 1/4 of the song i guess ;)
the chorus is rhianna...nicki wrote her verses
@@scutmcivor that's not what Nikko was saying.
@Hertzee wrong, Artist don't make no more than 50% of the money made of the songs. You have to include the producers, engineers, technicians, songwriters, managers, etc. And the studio has bills too. A lot of money is divided among the behind-the-scene people too
It'z Amazing!!!
them speakers make my headphones sound good lol
Amazing~
@KebbyTheProphet they are singers.. loads of big shots today started as demo singers. It's a great way to get into the industry.
@Williamjordanmusic man if that was really you singing on the demo, no homo but i teared up a bit. it sounded amazing homie.
WOW!
that guy on the demo can blow
GREAT stuff!! :)
@GavSmith14 yeah he does, its a very popular program. i wish i used it, but you need a lot of equipment. I currently use reason 5
what reverb plug in was he using on that 808 snare, cause damn that sounded perfect..
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lol the audio in this video is peaking..... The irony
This is proof that everyone autotunes their vocals even if it’s just pitch correction u can hear it as soon as this video starts and Rihanna says “I CAME to win”
Will Jordan on the vocals/songwriting
DAMn J.R. did this? been a while since i got my producers credits up
Jr is the truth!!!!!!!!
LAWD! Yeah, Thats what i ment!
@Hertzee Artist make more money because they use the songs in concerts. They do tours with those songs. Tours/concerts = Profit. But still producers get nice royalties outta songs like this.
😍
@EpicSodas wrong. FL studio is just as capable of making professional quality records as a fantom or motif. guys like boi1da, kanebeatz, hitboy, and afrojack swear by it, and their work speaks for itself. the quality of the final product has more to do with mixing than what workstation you're using.
Feel free to download original instrumentals produced by myself on TH-cam page. Various genres include hip hop, rnb, pop and more. Download link within description.
@RaheemTS The artists still make most of the money, and people think they do all of the work.
A 15 year old girl holds hands with her 1 year old son. People call her a slut, no one knows she was raped at 13. People call another Guy fat. No one knows he has a serious disease causing him to be overweight . People call an old man ugly. No one knew he had a serious injury to his face while fighting for our country in the war.People call a women bald but they don't know she has cancer Re-post this if you are against bullying and stereotyping. I bet 95% of you won't do it...
woowww
i really wanna know who sang that hook at 2:09
thats the jackie boyz fasho
Tacoma Stand up!!! Big ups to sky movement! #FOE
@Th3Hamm3r low quality? lol synths with low bit rates.
He sounds like the guy who plays the facebook movie
So just like Dr Dre he does fuck all. Every one else does all the work and he just goes to Nikki like here you go. The real talent is in the guitarist and the writers
Wow, the hook was good but Riri made it bang FR.
yea artist make about 20% tops and theres only a few that get that. a lot of money goes out to studio time. engineers.. and considering this guy damn near made the whole song im pretty sure he got a good amount of money for this. probably some 5 digit number.
I need an instrumental
Need u to manage my daughter she have the best voice ever
Is she still at it?
Artists make nothing on royalties. It's all about touring and merchandise. Marilyn Manson made a few hundred grand on Antichrist Superstar, which went at least double platinum. Prince, at the same time, self released his album on his website, and made 9 million. I don't think that album even sold 200K copies. Do the math.
he is an African from south Africa, he owns beluga
did the gitarist get any money for his contribution?
It's a person who sings at 2:25 or a synthetic voice? I ask because I would like to wrote songs but I havn't specially a good voice so I would like to know how the composers wrote music even if they don't have a beautiful voice please ?
Hi. the guy that is singing is William Jordan. He is a buddy of mine i used to o music with.
@KTKHarm lol u right
i don‘t like autotuned vocals any more.
JR Scrotem ?
I want to work with you
But I live in Ny !
the point is, if you think this is crap, then you should be able to easily do better. Why don't you? Please respond.
how much she paid you? how much?
THAT IS WILLIAM JORDAN SINGING YALL!!!!!!
isn't this just pretty?
J.R Rotem and Armin van Buuren must have the same brother.
/watch?v=zoW-fbFAsIQ&feature=relmfu
(2:35)
yeah the real money they make is for concerts and stuff.
that guy singer is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than rihanna
@retry64ever "Tommy my brother gave me a guitar loop" "Our guitarist Kevin sent us these kind of guitars" His brother wrote the guitar tabs, then the musician Kevin played, recorded and sent them to the studio.
he's parents israeli's...
Does he use pro tools?
3:33 .__. Hahaaaa
Vous voyez que même les pros qui ont des studios a je sais pas combien d'euros ont des Yamaha HS80 M alors on dit quoi bande de ....... qui sont chez KRK
Vive YAMAHA tout court
If that is true then he wouldn't be a millionaire..
Nicki probably made about 10%. even 50% is ridiculous to say.
@carlogozi Thats not even a comparison lol Beyonce KILLS lol.
beyonce wouldv been better on the hook
Dam too bad the original singers weren't on the track instead of nicki...
David Polanco Rihanna sang the hook.
Crash course on how to make shitty music with the only intention of pop sales. TH-cam next video auto play is complete shit sometimes.
is he jew?thank you>
Its sickening to me that people cant write their own hooks.
Thanks JR for your honesty and willingness to share this with us. As a songwriter and new producer, I need to hear how this stuff gets made and see that you can have faith in people to take your tracks, play them to people and get participation.
great interview, his perspective is so authentic and honest.
It's a person who sings at 2:25 or a synthetic voice? I ask because I would like to wrote songs but I havn't specially a good voice so I would like to know how the composers wrote music even if they don't have a beautiful voice please ?
Vocaloid is an amazing line of synthetic voices with characters that go with them. They began in japanese, but it spread to the english language. Look up the vocaloid Oliver, I recommend that if you need a producer-worthy voice that uses long notes that you may be looking for. :) Plus, they're anime. Haha.
Yes It's a real persons voice lol. Just sounds like a layered harmony with some sort of effect on the vocals (possibly autotune).
This guy's my new idol.
To be honest you are right 9 times out of 10 but it all depends on the contract they hold . Some artists can own more than that .
Actually shoutout to Will Jordan for being the original artist on the hook 🙌🏽 #Tacoma
You are a sick producer, but those writers are amazing too! damn!
J.R Rotem is also a Writer too. Did you know Beat Makers are considered "Songwriters"? Yes Beat Making is writing (music). J.R Rotem is a traditional Record Producer that Co-Writes the music. He's a Songwriter/Producer. That's why he gets Writing and Production credits for both roles.
