Citaat:
Hey guys. What can I say? I fucked up. I sold kicks and soundbanks from other artists that weren’t mine. To be honest it didn’t feel wrong to me until I saw the screenshot of the chat on Tim’s post. It didn’t feel wrong because I bought the sounds from someone else aswell.
I would probably save my own ass if I would mention the guy’s name but I’m not gonna do it, I’m not like that. I made a mistake, I fucked up and it’s ok if I will be punished for it. No need to involve more people in it. I just want to say I never had the intention of doing any harm to anyone. I never talked to the artists before which I was selling the sounds from and I had no idea the sounds were stolen.
I never talked to Xander neither and I didn’t buy the sounds from him. What happened between him and Tim has nothing to do with me. I just saw the sounds as an object because I bought them, like you would buy a car or whatever from someone. I asked the guy where he got the sounds from and he told me he bought them from “a guy that makes aftermovies”.
I never knew they were stolen from someone’s computer or that the artists themselves didn’t know about the sounds being out in the open. I thought they were giving away by them for free, like some artists do once in a while. I didn’t see much harm in it, I didn’t steal them.
Of course this doesn’t take away I made a horrible mistake. I sold other people’s intellectual property where they put their heart and soul in and I can understand a lot of people will hate me for it. But please, don’t think you know the story or that you know me as a person when you’ve never talked to me and because you see some bad screenshots going around. There’s always both sides to a story and more than what you can see.
I just want to say I’m sorry and I know I have disappointed a lot of people who believe(d) in me, and like I said before, I never had the intention of doing any harm to anyone. I helped a lot of other producers and colleagues (for free), by giving them help, feedback and tips on their music and business, while I had nothing to gain from it. I also do ghost producing for other artists for ridicilously cheap prices, so I am trying to give back to the community as much as I can.
Music has never been about money for me, I didn’t make a single cent from music for 6 years until I started ghost producing for other people last year. I’m 25 years old, I don’t have a job because I want to pursue this dream, I’m broke as fuck and I’m still living with my mum. It makes me sad to see that people will only remember the one mistake you made but forget about all the good stuff you have done.
To be honest I also don’t think it was a good idea from Tim to post this on Facebook, I’m not saying this to save my ass, but sometimes people just aren’t themselves, even if they fucked up really bad and I can’t imagine what Xander must feel like waking up to a post like that. Receiving negative and hateful messages from people who never talked to you. I don’t even want to know. Ok, he fucked up, but he only harmed Tim by it. Now all of Tim’s following is harming Xander, I don’t think that’s a fair trial, but it’s not my business I guess.
By the way I sold the kicks for prices between 30-75 dollars and I sold them to 4 or 5 people, so don’t think I became rich from it. If the artists would have given me the sounds in trust, so I could learn from it, I would never have sold them. But I bought them from a friend/producer and I guess he just lied to me about where they came from. I also never used the sounds in my own songs. I did a music production class fulltime for 1 year so I have enough knowledge about music to make my own sounds and songs. Every sound I use in my tracks is made by myself, even the main part of my kick is a kick I made 4 years ago, I just kept layering it over the years and I might have used a punch sample from other hardstyle tracks but that’s it, really.
It’s funny how I’m receiving a lot of emails from people now that are interested in the kicks, but in the meanwhile are talking shit about me on social media. If you’re just sharing a screenshot of someone else’s mistakes to get a bit attention and likes or whatever reason, you’re just as bad and hypocrite as everyone else.
This probably means the end of my carreer and I’m not sure what I am going to do from now on. I’m just gonna let this pass by for a while, as I’m really not feeling well. I never hated myself until now. I hope you understand. I made a mistake and I will probably make a lot more mistakes in my life, but I’m not a bad person.
I want to thank everyone that believed in me and supported me and I’m sorry I’ve let you down.
Love, Amedee

Wat een vaag onsamenhangend verhaal maargoed.
