I have only been making myown music -and remixes for others-for 2 years.
I do play live a couple of times a month.I am part of the nyc undergroud electro-clubkid-fashion scene.New york has some of the best clubs in the world but not very live performer friendly.Someties I perform for a thousand people at clubs like crobar or 10 poeple at dive bars like the slide.I always give the best I can no matter how many people are watching.
I love 80's new wave!Dead or alive are my heros and people with great style like Duran Duran or Annie Lennox make me want ot also recreate my image.Even though I am not much or a rock person my greatest insperation is David Bowie.
Mostly software synths.V-station is my favorite along with Vanguard.I was recording with Cubase but I have been phasing that out for Live-5 which is really amazing.I also have novation's X-station which is a synth/midi controller/audio interface.
I don't usually eat dairy but I love nachos at the movies!
