Interview

Tell us about your background getting to where you are today?

My name is Maximilian Rostopora, and I go by Milian Beatz. I have been in love with music for as long as I can remember. I grew up in Kyiv, Ukraine. My father used to play a lot of instruments. I began making music when I was 12 years after my father bought me my first guitar. I began performing at live shows, singing and playing with the guitar. I eventually learned how to play drums and piano, and I started performing with a band. I originally moved here in 2001, and then moved back to Ukraine in 2002. After my father passed away in 2012, I moved back to Los Angeles with my mother. I was constantly on the lookout for other artists to work and create with, but nothing was really happening. At that point, I took matters into my own hands and started making Hip-Hop beats on Logic and networking at various studios throughout Los Angeles. From there I met many artists that I still work with today and my manager, Barry Rosenblum, as well. From there, I have been blessed to work with artists from Atlanta, Los Angeles, and across the world. I am not even close to where I believe I will go.

How did you get into music?

My father played a lot of instruments and bought me my first guitar when I was 12. He taught me how to play a few chords and I have not stopped playing ever since. I began playing drums and piano shortly after.

What is the most challenging thing you have overcome in your life?

My father passed away when I was 15 years old.

Who inspires you the most musically?

Scott Storch, Murda Beatz, Metro Boomin.

What do you want people to take away after listening to your music?

I want them to feel my soul, heart, and emotion that I put into the music. I don’t take the opportunities I have been given for granted, and I want people to know that I am hungry every single time they hear my tag on a beat.

Anything else you want the audience to know about you?

Everything I am doing is for a purpose. I want my music to last forever.
