Started playing keyboard when I was really young, didn't take lessons but just gradually learned to play by ear.
There are a lot of artists I could say influenced me, but the ones that stand out would be artists like The Crystal Method, The Prodigy, and Rob Dougan.
I use a Juno 1, a Korg triton LE workstation, korg kaossolator, akai mpd 18, roland D1000, Arturia's Matrixbrute, Korg Minilogue, and Fruity loops.
