William Vance is the managing editor at Magnetic Magazine, a go-to platform for music production and dance music culture. With over twelve years of experience in music production—four to five of those at a professional level—William has also ventured into running a couple of record labels. His passion for creating music is what drives him every day. "What I love most about making music," he says, "is that there's no real skill cap—there's always more to learn and more to experiment with. The fact that there are no exact hard rules is really cool. It's an endless, lifelong pursuit, and the more you know, the more creative you can get with what you know, which is really exciting for me."

However, William's journey into music production wasn't always so clear-cut. It all started with him casually making beats on his laptop using GarageBand back in high school. He kept experimenting through college, where he was studying English at the University of Oregon. An internship at an electronic music blog allowed him to merge his growing interest in music production with his writing skills, helping him build connections that would become crucial later on.
