Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've been a musician for most of my life, classically trained originally, taking piano lessons in the earlier part of my life. Eventually, though, I began to make up tunes in my head, and I'd mess around with them on my still functioning Yamaha PSR-230 MIDI Keyboard.
So, when I actually got into writing music I was completely new to electronic music. I was shown a few programs, like Fruityloops 3.56, Acid, and Reason back in early 2001. I found FL to be the easiest to use, so I stuck with it.
I've come to enjoy most styles of electronic music, but in particular I like Trance, Dream, Darkwave, and DnB all mixed with elements of Hip-Hop, Rock, or Classical. Especially Classical.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I do stream live online at UStream at times, but I'd really love to do some real live shows.
