Known for his distinctive vocal style, he often uses techniques like auto-tune and layering to create a unique sound. His laid-back, almost slurred vocal delivery is a signature aspect of his music.

  • Mixing and Mastering: After the recording is complete, the song goes through mixing and mastering. This is where the levels are balanced, effects are added or tweaked, and the track is polished to achieve the final sound.
