BIO / WHATEVER:

I started fiddling around with my dad's guitar at a very young age, which ultimately led me to music. I got my first guitar on Christmas when I was 7. That was the start of my music "career." I started doing various things, such as church bands and even jamming out with my upstairs neighbor. The neighbor was in a small band doing gigs around town and, at one point, even asked me to join them for a gig down the street in a local bar/grill.

I messed around with a program/website called "Soundation, " an online music maker. I wasn't very good at it, so I quit. But later on, I found FL Studio, which was the start of my online music. Then my friend introduced me to one of the single-handedly greatest things that's happened to me: TRACKERS.

My first look at trackers sounded almost like this: "What the hell is this?". My friend proceeded to go on about the thing. I had no idea what he was saying. But he gave me some samples, and I made my first song in trackers. As expected, it sounded.... shit. I watched some tutorials on it, and I made a decently sounding song.

Looking back on it now, it is a great thing that has impacted my musical career in many ways. I've even been invited to a few demogroups, some run by the demoscene veterans. It's been a long journey, and I plan on continuing that journey.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
