Think of your favorite song. No average person ever thinks to themself, \u201cI wonder who mixed this song\u201d, or \u201cI wonder who helped the artist write this melody\u201d. Or better yet, we\u2019ve all seen that documentary where our favorite artist has old video footage of them in the studio, right? But do we ever ask ourselves, \u201cWho is that person sitting at that strange, huge console (who we can only see the back of their head) pressing all of those buttons in that same clip?\u201d Not usually. Well, \u201cthat person\u201d is known as a studio engineer. There\u2019s one engineer that has never truly stepped out of the shadows until now. His\u00a0resume speaks\u00a0for itself, but you most likely won\u2019t be able to put a face with the name. Ramon Rivas aka Lifeof9000 is who we are speaking of. He is better known as Ramon Rivas, but was given the name 9000, by none other than Andre 3000, His current projects include mixing the new\u00a0Isley Brothers\u00a0album,\u00a0Belly,\u00a0Puff Daddy new LOVE\u00a0album, which he thinks will surprise\u00a0plenty.<\/p>\n

Ramon Rivas aka Lifeof9000 is a full time parent, so instead of chasing the sun in Lamborghini\u2019s, he\u2019s chasing his\u00a0kids’ next\u00a0scheduled event. With having a tribe of girls in the home, there\u2019s not a moment that goes by that his mixing session isn\u2019t interrupted by one of his daughters asking permission to invite a friend over, for a Zelle or cash app advance, or weekly allowance, but he loves it though. Family first.<\/p>\n

So the question remains, how come he\u2019s not on the cover\u00a0of a billboard\u00a0somewhere, or with his picture plastered on some Lifeof9000 billboards across the country? Well, to keep it simple, the life of most studio engineers is spent, well\u2026.in the studio. Who would\u2019ve thought it? It takes hours upon hours to mix and master most artist\u2019s records which leaves no time for many activities you see your favorite singer or rapper indulge in like clubbing, yachting, or the occasional paparazzi frenzied photoshoot. Work comes first for Lifeof9000.<\/p>\n

But 9000 is in those most elite celebrity circles all the same. He was considered family to the late great Nipsey Hussle, even before Victory Lap dropped. He attended both NIP and Kobe\u2019\u00a0Bryant’s\u00a0funerals. Rest In Peace. He even mixed Kobe tributes and Yonce\u2019 performance songs. Lifeof9000 DJ\u2019d for Dolla (RIP), and rubs shoulders with Akon to this day from that connection. Still 9000 remains a private guy. \u00a0He tries to keep business and family somewhat separate by carrying around two phones, but overall not a flashy type of guy. Lifeof9000 just enjoys helping out those deserving of his help. He enjoys creating opportunities. You can know the guy for years, and he\u2019ll give you a little to work with until he\u2019s fully comfortable with you. No wonder, most people don\u2019t know who and what an engineer does right?! Lifeof9000 has worked for JD at SoSo Def, got fired by Damon Dash at Roc-A-Fella, hung posters up for Diddy (when he was Puffy), and even wrote and coached Birdman (you know, the Mega Platinum CEO of Cash Money Records) on some song ideas.<\/p>\n

And what about the music industry ladies you ask? Yes, Lifeof9000 has partnered pens with Cardi B,\u00a0Megan thee Stallion, Tinashe and some famous woman whose name begins with the infamous letter B. Any other legends that Mr. Rivas worked with. Well, of course. He\u2019s been mentioned by the infamous D.O.C. and built a rep with the Legendary Producer\/Engineer Dr. Dre himself. By proving his work ethic, drive, and understanding of the music business 9000 was able to work his way up the ladder from an Intern at the label to an Engineer for the stars\u00a0to a coordinator A&R with cash money records.<\/p>\n

Some musicians Lifeof9000 enjoys collaborating with are G Herbo, Bugzee Lix, Nudi Blockchain, Dolla, Lloyd, and\u00a0Reese Youngn. His accolades are etched in stone, and he has a\u00a0Grammy\u00a0from working with both Ariana Grande, and that famous Black is King Diva to prove it. For his latest resume\u2019 builder,<\/p>\n
