Now That’s What I Call Crispy Vol. 1: WZRD Gundlach

Getting back to writing about music has been fun, and while I’d planned to write about an album today, there was a different topic rattling around in my head. In the vast ocean of music producers on X, WZRD Gundlach stands out not just for his approach to music but for community, growth, and straight-up gratitude. That attitude of gratitude is what’s inspired this series, and that’s why I’ve titled it “Now That’s What I Call Crispy Vol. 1: WZRD Gundlach”. This goes deeper than a song connection.

The Art of Engagement: WZRD doesn’t just produce music; he engages with his audience with real intent. He’s created an ongoing dialogue with listeners and fellow artists. Those interactions aren’t just about improving his craft, but about building a genuine connection with talented creators.

Paving the Path: The journey from 0 streams in 2022 to becoming a For Your Consideration (FYC) Grammy contender (submitting production work for categories like Best Spoken Word Poetry Album) is nothing short of inspiring. WZRD has been transparent throughout this growth, sharing milestones, celebrating with followers, and motivating everyone watching. It sets a real example of what dedication, consistency, and community focus can achieve in music production.

Quality AND Quantity: The output never slows down, and he keeps dropping track after track of absolute fire. Here are just a few of the artists I love that WZRD has worked:

• @Amenta_Asylum – Deep, genuine artistry.
• @AttaboyPaulo – A mind blowing lyricist.
• @Its_me_Khalima – The smoothest of vibes.
• @WhoIsOSmith – Standout flows

The People’s Champion: Not only was WZRD the first DAW Wars champion (shoutout to The Beat Lounge on Twitch, those producer battles are fun and intense!), but his commitment to the indie community has earned him the title “The People’s Champion.”

WZRD is more than a music producer; he’s a community builder, an innovator, and part of my extended family. His journey is a beacon for indie producers everywhere, proving that with engagement, quality output, and personal passion, you can move the needle, and keep pushing toward that golden gramophone dream. You’re gonna have to make due this this for now, WZRD
