Echo Speaks Music (INSTAGRAM) has always been captivated by the power of words. Inspired by the way authors craft sentences that mesmerize readers, Echo channels that same energy into music. For him, it’s not just about making songs—it’s about delivering an experience that leaves a lasting impression on his audience.
Echo’s Journey as a Rapper
Echo started rapping in elementary school but only pursued it seriously in recent years. His motivation comes from three key sources: God, life, and what he calls “wack rappers.” He aims to break away from the repetitive themes of mainstream music and offer something different. Instead of the usual narratives, Echo wants to create tracks that inspire, challenge, and resonate deeply with listeners.
Discovering SOUNDRAW
I bumped into SOUNDRAW while scrolling through Instagram. After taking a look into it, I knew immediately I had to find out more.
The idea of SOUNDRAW is groundbreaking. Creating music can be expensive, especially for independent artists. If you're not producing your own beats, you can easily spend thousands on beat licenses. SOUNDRAW changed that. It gave me unlimited access to high-quality beats and stems for a fraction of the cost of a single standard beat license.
Echo's Music made with AI
I recently created a track where I wanted to push creative boundaries and make my music stand out.
I’ve always loved ‘Sway In The Morning’ and their ‘Five Fingers of Death’ segment, where rappers freestyle over five different beats.
I wanted to create a track inspired by that concept—rapping over five different beats in one song. Normally, purchasing five beats with stems would cost me around $1,250. With SOUNDRAW, I paid nothing extra beyond my yearly subscription.
Without SOUNDRAW, my vision would have been out of reach. Instead, I was able to create an epic and diverse song, seamlessly blending multiple flows over five unique beats.
Crafting a single track with five different beats required a lot of planning. I needed beats from different genres, moods, and tempos that still flowed together naturally.
SOUNDRAW’s customization tools allowed me to fine-tune each beat to my exact specifications, making the process much smoother than it would have been otherwise.
What impact did using SOUNDRAW have on your workflow or creative process?
Some people say AI takes the creativity out of music, but I disagree. SOUNDRAW didn’t replace creativity—it enhanced it. It gave me the power to customize, design, and innovate beats based on my own vision.
Tips for Other Users: Take Your Time
Take your time. Sometimes you’ll find the perfect beat instantly, and other times it’ll take more fine-tuning. Both approaches are valid, and the more you use SOUNDRAW, the better you’ll understand how to make it work for you.
Be creative, think outside the box, and learn the customization tools. Review as many tracks as you can—you never know when you’ll strike gold.
Suggestions for Improvement
Filtering by Mood & Theme – When selecting multiple moods and themes, the AI often generates tracks with only one mood instead of incorporating all selected elements. Genre Accuracy – Occasionally, the genre, mood, and theme don’t match up, such as cinematic tracks not sounding as expected.
I'd love if SOUNDRAW can focus on refining its AI to avoid repetitive tracks and improve filtering. Another great addition would be a community ranking system—something like a leaderboard showing the top rappers using SOUNDRAW in specific regions.
This would encourage engagement and friendly competition, keeping users coming back.
Final Thoughts About the Future of Music
SOUNDRAW puts the power of an engineer in the hands of a lyricist.
I’m no longer limited to just writing lyrics—I can now bring my full creative vision to life. Nothing will ever be the same.
