Said The Sky returns on the XLNT Show! Tune in to how he breaks down his creative process, why he made an album with almost no drums, and how he’s built a sound that doesn’t quite fit EDM—but still dominates it.

We dive into songwriting vs sound design, working with vocalists, creative identity, and the real challenges of making emotional music in a scene built for drops. Plus, a deep convo on AI in music and whether it’s helping or killing creativity.
