We had the good fortune of connecting with Andrea Bratti and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Andrea, what’s the most important lesson your business/career has taught you?
in two years of production, I have learned to take nothing for granted: even if your music is just starting to turn you should never rest on your laurels, because there is always something to learn and you must always improve to keep up with the times.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’ve been producing under the AUGUSTKID alias for almost two years now, clearly things have gotten easier than they were in the beginning: I have more contacts, more audience, more listeners and more people who want to work with me and I find this, at times, still unbelievable… I was so many years on the other side, getting no’s, doors in my face and prejudice; all of which didn’t allow me to express myself. it was not easy, but I never gave up because I love music and it is something that is present every day, in every moment and in every mood of mine.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
as many of those who know me know, i am a mountain lover; many of my tracks were born there and i really think i would show them northern italy trying to convey to them at least some of the emotions that certain places (like valle d’aosta) make me feel: the calm, the scent of the green, the wind… and so on

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I don’t have anyone in particular to whom I dedicate this shotout, I would feel like addressing (as I always do during interviews) towards all those underrated artists who spend their time receiving doors in their faces and “no” from labels, managers or more famous artists with whom they want to collaborate: don’t give up, your time will come and you will be ready !
