Ivan began by simply playing along
with the radio with his guitar & keyboards. Becoming bored playing
other people's music, he began to compose his own to great acclaim from
his listeners. He also found that he could compose "any style that
he set his mind on" and has been using MIDI for his compositions
since 1982. Though he has played live in the past, nowadays he prefers
to stick to the studio and work with a trusted group of co-performers.
Ivan Multimedia Productions is dedicated to the production of original
commercial music. I do it all from Pop to New Age, R&B, Jazz, Urban,
Hip Hop, Ol Skool & Easy Listening. All of my compositions are
original works (not samples). Some songs have loops but the loops are
used as fill in parts and not the main presence of the music. Our Songs
are Available For licensing world wide from the Harry Fox Agency. I feel
that the Internet is going to give everyone a chance to be heard and
seen. Plus It will give the recording artist full control over their
music and a chance to make more money from their music.
I listen mostly to independent artist, all types of music. I also listen
to some top 40, Modern Gospel & House. Some of my influences are
Guy, R. Kelly, Kenny G., H. Town, Mint Condition, Baby Face, New
Edition, Larry Carlton, Quincy Jones, Black Street, Rush, George Duke,
Barry J. Eastmond, Michael Jackson & Sade."
