i'm 21 years old, pursuing a BM in music composition. ever since i can remember, i've been constantly composing music, either consciously or subconsciously. i sing and i play the piano, violin, and the guitar, and a little bit o' bass.. i'm always willing to learn more instruments, though, particularly the cello. i have a lot of complicated music planned out in my head; however, all i have right now is FL studio, some instruments, a mic, and my own mind to work with. (sorry for the fuzziness of the recordings i've got up here; i have a new mic now, i've just yet to upload anything using it. =^P)
Why this name?
i feel like it's way too personal for me to use my given name on my compositions, so i figured i'd pick an artistic pseudonym that i liked. and i liked this one. ^^
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
oh man, i don't know. i don't want people to screw around with my art. yeah, i know.. that makes me a selfish composer, but if they're going to slap my name on these songs, i better have had control of everything involving the way it sounds. it's one of the MANY reasons why i admire trent reznor.. he ain't afraid to speak out against the record companies. XD
