His debut EP “Spitfire”, which was released when Porter was 19, separated him as a producer with a deeper knowledge of music than his peers, while demonstrating his potential to make music that attracts an enormous audience. That sheer dedication combined with a mind for all things digital is what lead Porter to producing some of the best electronic music in the last 10 years before he was even old enough to legally drink alcohol. He found his sanctuary in virtual worlds (pun intended) and instead of channeling that love into making the games themselves, he started making music. Given how totally awesome it is to be outside it might be hard to believe that anyone wouldn’t care about the outdoors, but when you take into account Porter’s raw talent it really isn’t that surprising. “I love big, vast, beautiful landscapes despite never caring about the outdoors and I fully attribute that to games.” Here’s something Porter tweeted right around the time he was developing visuals for his live show: From a very young age they were spending every moment inside playing video games and tinkering with computers, and Porter was one of them. See, while the the image of the superstar producer may coincide with the pretty-boy celebrity, the majority of producers who came up before EDM “exploded” were actually on the opposite side of the spectrum. Well the answer is quite simple: spend every single moment of free time learning how to produce. Have you ever been watching Porter Robinson’s live show and wondered: “How the hell did he get so good?”
