Biographies in Third Person are for Narcissistic Scrubs

Who am I?

I'm a dude from California who's stuck in Arizona and complains about how much it sucks living here compared to California.

What do I even make?

Everything I make falls into an electronic sub-genre of some sort.

There's no consistency to what I create.

House, Electro, Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Chiptune, Hip-Hop, Trance...

It's easier just to browse my SoundCloud page to get an idea of what I'm talking about.

How did I get started with this mess?

I started my journey with music by dicking around in Music Masterworks around 2002.

A year later, I became obsessed with StepMania. Within one of the sim files I found a comment nested in the details tab of an mp3 file: "Made with Sony Acid Pro 4.0."

I downloaded Acid Pro and slowly started to familiarize myself with making music with a DAW.

Over the next 6 years I networked with other electronic musicians over the internet.

Eventually this led me to get connected with Alillm who offered me a gig to create soundtracks to his flash games in 2009.

This motivated me to enroll at The Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences in 2010.

I graduated with flying colors, but didn't end up pursuing the audio industry.

Since then I've set audio production aside as a hobby, squeezing out a remix or song here and there when I find some free time.
