Music Style and Inspirations

The music magazine The Fader has described Wheezy's music style. They said his productions are "spacious and spare," meaning they sound open and not too busy. They also gave him credit for the clear and unique sound on albums like Barter 6 (2015) and the Slime Season series.

Wheezy uses FL Studio to make his music. He also uses an M-Audio Oxygen 88 keyboard. He often uses samples, which are small pieces of sound from other recordings. He especially likes to use older, "vintage" sounds. Wheezy says he "blends" his snare drum sounds. He often uses a software tool called VST Purity, which he has used since he first started producing.

Glass has been inspired by other music producers. These include Drumma Boy, Shawty Redd, DJ Toomp, and WondaGurl. You can often tell his songs by his special producer tag, "Wheezy outta here!"
