🎧 Behind the Scenes of “Sunroof”: Dazy on Viral Moments, Ableton Hacks & Drum Perfection

In this episode of Producer Points, Justin sits down with Dazy (Nick Minutaglio)—the artist, songwriter, and producer behind Nicky Youre’s global smash “Sunroof” and collaborations with Role Model, Maude Latour, Tanerelle, Carter Ryan, Quinn XCII, DVBBS, and more.

From his early SoundCloud days to topping charts worldwide, Dazy shares his unique journey, deep dives into his guitar-driven pop sound, and unpacks how he builds tight, infectious productions that stick.

🎶 Song deep dives:

• “Sunroof” by Nicky Youre — how it started as a dorm voice memo, why the guitars needed two dozen layers, and the key change that made it a hit

• “No Rush” by Maude Latour — dreamy vocal stacks, loose doubles, and the balance between simplicity and impact

🎛️ We explore:

• Ableton hacks for faster, cleaner bounces

• Drum programming, groove layering, and tight bass tricks

• Guitar tones, Sketch Cassette magic, and pedal choices

• Building a music career post-college, DM’ing your way into sessions, and how “Sunroof” blew up on TikTok
