Holding a mic nervously before a crowd, standing on the stage to perform is what every musician experiences at the beginning of their musical career. In fact, it’s quite common even amongst professional musicians to feel anxious before a performance. Apart from that, it is no secret that almost all great performers struggle to find the inspiration to write the lyrics and compose their masterpieces. Even Eminem rapped on the street of Detroit before becoming the star he is today. Then there is Ed Sheeran, who spent his nights on the streets because he was homeless for two-and-a-half years before his career kicked off. Believe it or not, but it is the struggle, ambition and talent that help these artists shine on even in their darkest times.
When it comes to music producers, they are the ones who support musicians, no matter renowned or up-and-coming. In fact, their experience allows them to gauge the potential of a musician in a matter of seconds. Moreover, they play an incredibly crucial role in polishing the skills of an artist and helping them achieve stardom. Their support and resources also allow such artists to completely explore their creativity. Truth be told, every great musician or band always has an inspiring music producer on their back. They are the ones who put in efforts to develop a musician’s career while staying out of the spotlight. And Sheldon Thaxter is one such music producer who is doing just that. Not only has he carved a niche for himself in the music industry, but he is one of those great music producers in the United States with whom every new artist wishes to work. And it won’t be wrong to say that Sheldon is a guardian angel for budding artists as he helps and supports them through his music label, KillaImij Records.
Sheldon Thaxter has been known for producing record-breaking singles and albums, thanks to his incredible sense of music.

Besides, Sheldon understands how much talent is being wasted out there, as he knows that brilliant musicians are waiting to be discovered.

Music has a universal language that unites everyone; it is, in fact, a form of free speech in the world. It has been helping artists showcase their message and journey in the most beautiful and extraordinary way. “Musicians’ brains are wired differently than non-musicians. Studying music from a young age gave me an intense internal desire to keep growing, and water finds its own level. Music inspired me to be who I am today,” explains Sheldon. For people like Sheldon Thaxter, music is everything, and with Killalmij Records, he aims to keep producing inspirational music and help young talent to embark on a successful musical journey.
