Gittyman Knows Exactly Where He'll Be in Five Years
“More freedom is the main thing.” The Kansas City producer on the end goal, getting picky, and why the window to work with him is open right now.

Third piece out of the same July sit-down, and this one is not about anybody else. We asked Gittyman where he sees himself down the road, and he answered like a man who has already run the math.
Word for word, here is the full answer:
“I'm just gonna continue to do what I do, man. I'm putting myself out there and working with artists. Eventually, five years from now, where I'm gonna be is I'm not gonna need to be working. I'm gonna be a lot more picky. So I'm not gonna be working with artists that I don't see any potential in, or like a future in. I'm gonna be a lot more picky. So now is the time where people can get in with me. If they're, you know, if they have the money to spend, I'm willing to work. But four or five years from now, it's not gonna be the case. I'll be a lot more picky, working with the artists that I specifically want to work with, and just having more freedom. More freedom is the main thing. Five years from now, I'm not gonna have to be in the studio like I kind of have to be right now, and I'm gonna be more picky and specific about the music that I make.”
Gittyman · Duff Radio interview, July 2026
Read it twice and the plan underneath comes into focus. He is not describing retirement, he is describing leverage. Right now the door is open, and the trade is simple: bring the budget, get the beat. The bet he is making is that in four or five years the door narrows, and the only sessions on the calendar are the ones he actually wants.
The tell is which word he repeats. Not money, not credits, not placements. Freedom. Three times in one answer, and he names it outright as the main thing. That is a working producer describing the thing most working producers never get: control over the calendar.
Which makes one line in there something close to a public notice. “Now is the time where people can get in with me.” If you are a Kansas City artist who has been meaning to reach out, he is telling you the window has an expiration date on it.
