Octavyo With a Y
I'm 18, about to go to college, and really enjoy making music.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Playing piano served as a sort of foundation for the kind of worker and person I am now. I was first signed up for lessons by my grandmother when I was 8 years old and have been playing since then. I became interested in producing after hearing a Skrillex track for the first time and discovering that I would make sounds like that from my bedroom. 5 years after that and here I am.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I've played piano at my highschool's talent night, with my school's band at Innsbrook as well as the VMFA, and I also played piano for church on occasion. My favorite performance was the last talent night when I accompanied my ex-girlfriend in her vocal performance.
Your musical influences
Virtual Riot, Scott Joplin, Aika, Queen, and my grandmother
What equipment do you use?
Ableton Live 9
