Slamcast Ep. 2 - Stefon “Bionik” Taylor
Welcome to SlamCast, where your hosts Neil and Brea chat with creatives about their process and how they navigate the grind of promoting themselves. This week they sit down with Stefon Bionik Taylor. He is a composer, producer, & multi-instrumentalist from the Twin Cities who strives to contribute to the community through creation, collaboration, and teaching.
Like the part-human, part-machine allusions of his nickname, Bionik is at one in both acoustic and electronic realms. Bionik has composed, arranged, and collaborated on countless records with classic and contemporary artists ranging from Lizzo to Phil Collins.
In this episode of SlamCast, Bionik gives us a run down of his start into music production in the Early 90’s. We get into his inspiration to switch from Pro Tools to Ableton production and how it lead him to Slam Academy. We talk about his career as a whole and how creativity comes in seasons. Following these cycles in your own growth is a crucial part to enjoying the process and flowing naturally through it. We also talk about the progression of technology and promotion. Bionik’s key advice is to never get stuck in one lane. Always evolve & put your work out there for people to hear. You’ll be happy you’ve left yourself a trail of progress breadcrumbs for future you to look back on.
