Meet Logan Holderread of Holderr in Lakewood

Today we’d like to introduce you to Logan Holderread.

Logan, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
So it all started when I was in elementary school and my parents made me pick an extra thing to do other than just school and the choice was in between playing a sport or joining band, so I went with the obvious answer to me which was joining a band. So I chose to start on the saxophone and stuck with playing that in school for about five years.

When I was a freshman in high school I spent a lot of time on the internet just messing around and learning about new things and I just happened to stumble upon electronic music. I started off as a casual listener and then slowly figured out that I could make my own stuff with my own computer. I was probably around 15 at this point and I was just messing around for fun but then I figured out that I actually really enjoyed doing it more than really anything else so I kept practicing and trying to get better.

Then when I was a Junior in High School I took a class on digital audio production and that was what really opened the door for me. Made me realize the infinite possibilities of making music on a computer and how in-depth you can really get in the programs to make what your thinking. After that, I just kept going at it and practicing in Abelton and slowly got to where I am now with my music.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Oh no, it hasn’t been a smooth road. But if it was all easy then the music wouldn’t be worth it. My biggest struggle personally is accepting when something is done, I have a problem with working a song over and over and over because I’m a perfectionist so getting to a point where I’m comfortable enough with the way it sounds to release it is always a huge struggle.

Can you give our readers some background on your music?
What sets my music apart for others is the overall soundscapes that I curate. I don’t make typical electronic music, its more grainy and low end focused less focused on the danceability of the music.

So, what’s next? Any big plans?
I want to spread my message to a larger audience and provide a safe place for people to be weird and forget about the troubles of life for a few hours.
