About Willy The Producer

A professional pianist and producer who’s been in the entertainment industry since age 15, Willy The Producer moves through the world with an open mind and spirit. He's been the musical director of the Tito Puente Jr Orchestra since he was 19, and has traveled all over the world performing in front of thousands of people with his Latin band, La Excelencia.

He has shared the stage with artists such as the late great Celia Cruz, Juan Luis Guerra, Lauryn Hill, Sade, George Clinton, The Gypsy Kings, and Oscar De Leon. He’s worked as a producer/musician with artists such as Bruno Mars, Dafina Zeqiri, French Montana, Kanye West, and Nas to name a few. He has also collaborated with great producers such as Rick Steele, Havoc, Irv Gotti, Arizona Slim, and DJ Khalil. Aside from music production, he also manages Mr. Derrick Wright who is currently Adele’s drummer.

In 2012, a music tour through Haiti changed his life forever. While there, he realized that no matter how bad a person’s situation can be, music can heal people and for a moment inspire and empower someone or completely change their life. Soon after that tour, he started his own entertainment company named The Valens Agency.

What is Splice Sounds?

Splice Sounds is an industry-leading catalog of royalty-free samples, loops, one-shots, MIDI and presets for music production. Browse sounds by genre, instrument, key, BPM, and more, preview individual sounds, search by text or audio, and download the ones that fit your track.

Are Splice sounds royalty-free?

Yes, every single sample on Splice is 100% royalty free, meaning they're free to use, even for commercial use. You can download samples on Splice, then make and release original music with those samples, and you don't owe Splice (or anyone else) any more than your subscription fee, even if your track goes viral.

Can I use Splice sounds for commercial use?

Yes. In fact, we can even supply you with documentation in case you ever need to prove that your music is royalty-free and properly licensed. The license for sounds you download from Splice Sounds permits use for commercial and non-commercial purposes so long as you remain in compliance with our Terms of Use.

Is my DAW supported?

Splice Sounds works with any DAW. Download samples and add them directly to your projects using the Splice Sounds Plugin (beta) or the Desktop App. All purchased samples are downloaded locally to your machine in .wav format.

Ableton, Fender Studio Pro, and Pro Tools users should use the Splice direct integrations in their DAWs for the best workflow experience, plus a rotating selection of free sounds for their projects.

For all other DAWs, download the free Splice Sounds Plugin (beta) to search, browse, and preview samples in your project's key and tempo. Then, subscribe to download sounds or create Variations.

How do Sounds credits work?

Use credits to download your favorite samples, loops, one-shots, presets, MIDI & more. All samples are one credit each. MIDI patterns and presets use up to three credits each. Unused credits automatically roll over to the next month. Keep everything you download, even if you cancel.

With our DAW integration plans for Ableton Live, Fender Studio Pro, and Pro Tools, you can license up to 100 individual samples per day by simply dragging and dropping the samples into your project. Once licensed, samples live in your Library, and you can download them at any time. With a Creator or Creator+ plan, you can also license up to 100 sounds per day directly in any of our native DAW integrations without using credits.

Do I have to download a full pack or can I download individual samples?

You can download individual samples on Splice, not just full packs. Every single sample, preset, MIDI, one shot, and loop on Splice is available for individual download, so you can only download what you need.

What happens to the sounds I download if I cancel?
