Kanye has a peculiar method of collaboration to produce his songs.
The CEO of a computer company seems like a weird person to write lyrics for a big rap album. But when we talk about an artist like Kanye West , who has a fascination with the technology world and a history of collaborating with a variety of composers, musicians and producers, that makes a little more sense.
Alex Klein is the co-founder and CEO of Kano Computing, which is a company that makes computer kits that focus on simplicity. He met Kanye for the first time at the 2019 CES trade fair and the two worked together all year on a still secret project.
In addition to the undisclosed project, Klein recently met in Wyoming with Kanye during the Jesus Is King sessions, and he was part of the team of people who wrote the lyrics for "Water." Klein, a journalist before founding his company, had a bit of a musical background, but had never worked on anything like this.
“There's a lot of typing, a lot of listening, and a lot of people coming up with different ideas,” he says of the ultra-collaborative creative involvement he experienced during Jesus Is King sessions. “And Kanye driving, Kanye is picky. One part of the process that I found extremely useful was requesting more versions and variations and then sharing those versions and variations as a group, ”Klein revealed in an interview.
