We had the good fortune of connecting with Cymphani Cyrine and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Cymphani, why did you pursue a creative career?
I chose the career path of being a Music Producer because I have been intrigued by music since I was really young. My first memories are recording into a tape player and singing along with the music and witnessing my cousin write music and rap. I took after him in my early ages of childhood and begin writing poetry. By the age of 11 I was learning to play piano and I knew at that time I wanted to make music. Music fulfills me and helps me relieve stress and just takes me to a place a way from whats possible. Everything in music isn’t so practical and literal and I feel thats a great way to live life just being in tuned with yourself and nature.
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My art is music production, and what sets me apart from others is my unique beats, creative marketing techniques, and extensive knowledge of the music business industry. I am most proud of my ability to create instrumental albums that resonate with listeners and provide a platform for other artists to showcase their talents.
Getting to where I am today professionally was not easy. I faced numerous challenges along the way, but I overcame them through hard work, dedication, and perseverance. I started my journey as a shy songwriter and poet, gradually teaching myself to produce music and expanding my skills through collaborations and networking. I enrolled in college to study Music Technology and Graphic Arts, which provided me with a solid foundation and opportunities to learn and grow.
One of the key lessons I’ve learned is the importance of continuous learning and adaptation in the ever-evolving music industry. I stay updated with the latest trends, techniques, and technologies to ensure my music remains relevant and innovative. Additionally, I discovered the value of building strong relationships with fellow artists and industry professionals, such as my close bond with the talented artist Fayro.
In 2015, I founded Cymphani Music Productions as a way to help other independent artists and utilize my knowledge of music business and marketing. It was a result of my determination to make a positive impact and create a collaborative space for artists to thrive.
I want the world to know that my journey is a testament to the power of hard work, dedication, and perseverance in the pursuit of one’s dreams. I believe in supporting and uplifting fellow artists, and I am proud to have been nominated for awards and sponsored events by giving away beats and marketing packages. Through my music and brand, I aim to inspire others to chase their passions, embrace their uniqueness, and never give up on their dreams.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my best friend was visiting the area for a week, I would definitely take them to downtown Atlanta and Little Five Points. Here’s a little itinerary for a fun-filled trip:
Day 1: Explore Downtown Atlanta
– Start the day with a delicious breakfast at a local cafe in downtown Atlanta.
– Visit the iconic Centennial Olympic Park and take a stroll through the beautiful green space.
– Explore the fascinating exhibits at the Georgia Aquarium, one of the largest aquariums in the world.
– Have a delightful lunch at a trendy restaurant in the downtown area.
– In the evening, catch a live performance at the historic Fox Theatre or enjoy a concert at the State Farm Arena.
Day 2: Little Five Points Adventure
– Begin the day with a visit to Little Five Points, a vibrant and eclectic neighborhood known for its unique shops, street art, and alternative culture.

Throughout the week, I would also recommend checking out local events, festivals, and live performances happening in the city. Atlanta is known for its vibrant arts and music scene, so there will always be something exciting to experience.
By exploring downtown Atlanta and immersing ourselves in the vibrant atmosphere of Little Five Points, we would have an amazing time discovering the city’s unique culture, delicious food, and exciting attractions.
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Theres a few people that gave me the boost and nudged me in the direction and position I am in today.
So first had my Mom never bought me that little toy keyboard, I probably wouldn’t be here today and also paying for a lot of stuff like lessons, speakers and supporting all the time! so definitely shout to Ma Barbara Williams!
The 2nd person my cousin Egzabia he inspired me to make music because he makes music even after my early years watching him go through the music process I went to him before releasing my first album to learn how to register and copyright my own music. That piece of information he gave me led me to now having a vast knowledge of the music industry as well as resources and artistry so big shout out to cuz for that.
Shout out to Andrew Ward. My spiritual twin flame who has continued the guidance of my spiritual path as well as challenging me to channel my emotions into my passion and think outside the box. A dear best friend. Thank You Doc!
Later in my journey my first week of college I met someone who changed my life by giving me the program Fruity Loops Studio 9. He doesn’t know that I downloaded FL 7 many years back and accidentally lost it due to deleting an email and never got a chance to learn it. But this person was Michael Johnson. I met Mike at Southwestern Illinois College (SWIC) and we had a Music Theory class together. He gave me a ride home after class and put Fl( on my computer. Not only did he give me the program along with sounds but he would sit down with me and teach me to use the program and now because of that I have about 20 or more projects under my belt. Thank You Mike!
And last but not least I have to give a shout out to my partner, best friend, love of my life and the best artist in the universe Fayro! Fayro has supported me since the first day I met him and always challenging me to be a better person and producer and learn more. He was the first artist I assisted with releasing a project and the first to trust me with his music. We have been on such a wild journey together and are building an amazing empire.
I thank everyone on this shout list because without you all I don’t know where I’d be today but all of them played a major part in who I am today even though they probably didn’t know it.
Thanks Guys!
