ill.Gates is a name known by nearly all producers in the English
speaking world. His
songs have been in the iTunes Top Ten Electronic Charts several
times. DJs play his
music every weekend and fans wear their ill.Gates tattoos with
pride. Some of his
collaborators include 42 Dugg, Alanis Morisette, Andrew Huang,
Apashe, Beats
Antique, Captain Hook, CloZee, Conrank, The Dead Kennedys,
Destroid, Eprom,
EyeOnEyez, G Jones, Gucci Mane, ill-esha, KJ Sawka, Liquid Stanger,
Masia One,
Mimosa, Minnesota, Mr Bill, Opiuo, RIP Kenny, Stephan Jacobs,
Stylust, UHNK,
Vaedynn, and Zain Effendi (composer on Pirates of the Caribbean,
Dark Knight). His
ringtones can be heard on the Windows Phone and the animatronic
Droids perform to
his music at Star Wars Disneyland. At this point I think it’s safe
to say ill.Gates is a
household name.
When he isn’t composing his own music ill.Gates is teaching the
next generation of
musicians and providing employment opportunities through Producer
Dojo, an
organization he founded in 2016 with the goal of ‘launching 1000
music careers’.
Producer Dojo uses a martial arts belt system to cultivate
discipline in young music
producers, provides them an outlet for release on the Dojo record
label, and helps them
create an online business selling samples, sounds and services.
ill.Gates is known for traveling the globe but has recently moved
to Los Angeles in order
to build a studio for the Producer Dojo, which opened in 2018.
