“There’s no stage in your life that doesn’t have a song you can reference,” says Stoni, the New York-based producer and DJ known for her hard-driving hip-hop beats. “Like when you graduate from high school, you’re listening to something, and every time you hear that song later you think ‘Ahhh!’ And you get to recapture that feeling, and it makes you feel great.”

Almost every day in Stoni’s life is marked by a particular song, track, or beat - by music that she creates with her ensemble of controllers, groove boxes, and software programs. “Making beats” for her is as constant as it is natural. It’s her way of expressing herself - of channeling the mood she’s in that afternoon. Her newest tool is the Seaboard RISE. She has gotten in the habit of taking her RISE to a park bench at New York’s Christopher Street Pier where she sits, cross-legged, and explores sounds with headphones on and head nodding.

“Music has always been a part of my life. I do everything with music. I take my shower with music. I make love with music. I think with music playing in the background. Music makes me feel. Music reminds me of my childhood. Music reminds me of life. It’s healing, and the reason is that it’s coming from somewhere. These tools” - she says, pointing at the Seaboard RISE - “are just conduits for getting those feelings out.”
