Producer Vid “The Vidko” Hrga is a rising star in the music industry. Based in Ptuj, Slovenia, The Vidko is known for his involvement in the Eurovision and Popevka competitions in Europe, as well as his work with countless artists across the world. Most often working with his fellow PVRE Records artists, The Vidko has firmly established himself as a force to be reckoned with in Europe and the United States.
Tell us a little bit about you, what is your business? What do you want people to know about how your business was created?
I work as a music producer based out of Ptuj, Slovenia. It was very tough to start, I’m not traditionally musically trained and I had no network or mentors to rely on. I was stubborn, I never invested in marketing and I believed that good music will always find a way to show itself. My thesis proved itself correct when DDB Ricco and Alex “Sin City Thrilla” Jernigan heard my music. Over the past several months we formed the PVRE Records team that is on pace to break through the ranks and achieve big things.
Who have you used as inspiration in building your business?
Scott Storch’s story inspired me to start producing Trap music. His story, his amazing piano skills, and the fame and reputation he gained because of his music drove me to start making beats. But the whole idea of making music myself came after I found out about Mozart. His music just makes sense to me and It helped me push my own limits.
What are you currently working on? What is the next step in your business’s growth?
I’m working on new stuff all the time. I would love to be able to start working on albums and EPs rather than just singles. I also really want to succeed in my home country, which is why I have been working on the biggest projects yet for Popevka and Eurovision.
If you could collab with anyone else who would it be and why?
Tyga, we would make a magical team! He makes summer club bangers all the time and that’s also my specialty. I would love to work with Post Malone on some sad projects as well.
What advice would you give to a younger version of yourself if you were just starting your journey?
I would tell myself to learn musical therory and take piano lessons. Both of those things are much easier to learn at a younger age and would have made my journey much easier when I was starting out.
