IEC:         What’s going on with you Corey?
CB:          Nothing much, what's good.

IEC:         How long have you been producing music?
CB:          I've been doing it for over six years.

IEC:         Is there anything that you do in order to get into groove mode prior to making music?
CB:          Not really, it's been times where I have woke up and started on a track, it’s just in me.

IEC:         I heard, you just graduated from Omnitech Technical Institute with a certificate in Music Engineering, tell                 us a little bit about that experience?
CB:          It wasn't an easy road, I learned a lot.  A lot of times I just wanted to get it over with, but I wouldn’t                 trade my knowledge for the world.

IEC:         Name one individual from OmniTech Technical Institute who had the biggest impact on you and why?
CB:          There wasn’t just one person, every teacher had an impact on what I learned.

IEC:         Who are some of the producers who have mostly influenced your style?
CB:          I'll give you a short list. Just Blaze, Kanye West, Dr. Dre, Pharrell, Timbaland, Jazzy Phae and Primo, just
                to name a few.

IEC:         What studios have you worked out of?
CB:          Dreammaker Studios-Atlanta, GA (Intern), Studio 229-Albany, GA, also did my share of going to home                 studios, alot of times its better going there than the big spots.

IEC:         Name some of the artists that you are going to be working with in 2009?
CB:          I got projects coming up with Rock City, Akon's new group, but this year I might take a new approach
                and do projects for myself. 

IEC:         What programs/equipment do you use when producing tracks?
CB:          Mainly Propellerhead Reason, FL Studio, Akai MPK49 with an endless list of sounds.

IEC:         Are you signed to a production company or are you considered a freelance producer?
CB:          Right now I am freelance, I might just end up starting my own production company.

IEC:         If artists would like to work with you, what do they have to do to get in contact with you?
CB:          It’s not hard, just hit me up 404-422-0811, my email is elicaesar@gmail.com.  I'm not hard to find and I'm                 not hiding from anybody either.

IEC:         Name some of the stumbling blocks that you have encountered in the music industry and what you have
                done to overcome them?
CB:          I had to learn to keep going because there is always a door that's going to be open when the one
                before it closed.

IEC:         Lastly, did you find that going to school to learn the technical aspects of your craft helped you advance                   your engineering/production/mixing skills?
CB:          Oh yeah, with some producers/engineers that's out now, they learned under somebody, and I didn't                 have that.  So I had to get it for myself.

IEC:         Is there anything that we didn’t cover that you would like our audience to know about Corey Burden? If                 so, let them know now.              
CB:          Yeah, for the record, I have no beef with anybody, I don't like beef, its bad for business.  With that said,                 I want to let people know that there are a lot of artists, mostly rappers, that are getting away with                murder just by having a hot beat but can't rap to save their life.  I will be the one that will help take                music to new levels, instead of dumbing it down to hot garbage.
