If you’ve been using my beats, or you’re thinking about it, here’s a bit about me and how all of this started.
Producer · working worldwide
Music has always been powerful to me because it can take you somewhere. That’s still the first thing I’m after when I make a beat.
But the beat is only half of it. The story is yours. The right beat doesn’t make you sound like someone else, it makes you sound like yourself.
Everyone has something only they can tell. If one of my beats helps you tell yours, and it reaches the people who need to hear it, that’s the whole point for me.

Every now and then someone asks me how @prodaram and @ARVMBEATS are connected. They're both mine, and each one started for a different reason.
@prodaram is the first channel I ever made for my music, back in February 2020. What got me started was other producers more than artists. I loved that deep, cinematic, atmospheric sound, and the way music can pull you into a different reality. I wanted my music to do that too.
On that channel I've always made whatever I wanted to make, even when it cost me views and sales. Not every beat there is for everyone, but I can look back on years of music I'm really proud of. It's still the one closest to me.
In September 2023 I started ARVM Beats as an experiment. I was making hip-hop beats in my own time, the kind I was listening to (J. Cole, Kendrick, JID, Travis Scott), and had nowhere to upload them. That lane was also doing well on YouTube, so it made sense to give it a try.
I made a batch of beats to start, scheduled uploads 30 days ahead, and stopped myself from checking views or subscriber counts, so I'd keep the ball rolling instead of fixating on single videos. Somehow it took off. The beats connected with more people than I expected, and bit by bit the channel turned into something serious. A little over three years in, it has passed 30 million views and 80,000 subscribers, and it has truly changed my life.
ARVM turned personal too. Along the way I found out how much I love the fantasy side of music: a new world with its own story and characters, the way some of my favorite albums work. That became The Story of…, where I tell the story of one character, real or fictional, in three chapters, one beat per chapter.
People loved it, and a few of them reached hundreds of thousands of views. They're still some of the most fulfilling music I work on.
Whichever channel you found me through, the beats from both are all here in the store.

So I share more than beats. On ARVM Beats I post things meant to help you grow and keep going. Some are encouraging, some are more direct, depending on what I think you need to hear that day.
Whatever stage you're at, you're always welcome to reach out. Maybe you want a beat recommendation for a song you're writing, or you want to brainstorm where to take your project. Maybe you just need honest advice, or feedback on a track. Send it my way and I'll help where I can.
