Illoquint
Producer, Writer, Vocal Arranger, Engineer
Illoquint was instrumental in the production of the "Not Ashamed" album. Illoquint not only worked with Tre' to write most of the songs, but he also produced the album, constructed the vocals and recorded the album. Illoquint and Tre' worked very closely on this album with the first priority being to Glorify the name of Jesus Christ. Together they worked tirelessly to create music that ministers to the heart that listeners can enjoy.
Illoquint is arguably the best producer in the Northwest. He is highly regarded for not only his creativity and versatility, but for the passion that he puts into every song he contributes his musical talents to. Illoquint has been making music for over 10 years with a flair for Urban Pop, Hip-Hop, and R&B Soul. He seamlessly transitions between the genres, which is easily credited to his musically-inclined adolescence. Starting as a Hip-Hop artist at 14, he taught himself to play the piano by 18, and by the age of 19, was awarded in a city-wide competition for his production. The ear he has today for arranging unique and full harmonies is also heavily influenced by his singing in a demand vocal jazz ensemble during his high school years.
