A lot has changed since I wrote this music. Originally I did a lot of juggling and family entertainment, and I stopped traveling in 2011 before my first son was born. Its 2024 and I now am a husband and father, and a director at a non profit for people with disabilities. Ive been diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome, fall somewhere in the spectrum, and absolutely love my life. It would be cool if my music were discovered and used and credited, but I also understand how niche and dated it is. I enjoyed listening to what I wrote and if my kids one day discover this years from now, know how much I love you, how glad I am to get to be your dad, and maybe you can share this with your children someday should you choose to become a parent. I guess thats all.Band/artist history
There really is not much of a history here. It started out as my juggling career was getting started and I went to schools and business events, but then I found I had to start paying for the music being played and I couldn't afford that! (Royalties are murder for a juggler!) so I started to write my own stuff. It started out shakey and bad quality, but over time I have ironed out the wrinkles and now whenever families see me juggle, they really enjoy the music as well.Have you performed in front of an audience?I got to perform my music whenever I juggled!
Your musical influences
Though European bands are a bit more hardcore and signature aka BassHunter and Cascada, I love the Jumpstyle tones in there. My song, some music was inspired beat-wise by Basshunter.
Most of my music has been based off of what comes into my head. I think Aphex Twins have been a major source of inspiration as well as many of the dance hits from the mid-nineties.What equipment do you use?
Fruity Loops! I love this program. I write out my stuff on my piano, then I transfer the notes over to Fruity Loops. Pretty soon when I build my own home studio I'll start throwing in live instruments.
I'm in the process of getting a talkbox or buildingmy own. If my inspiration keeps up for vocals, I'll invest in my own microphone. I'm waaay too basic. :PAnything else?
True, my music is designed for performances, but it can also be played as ambiance in clubs and other places as well. Videos, voice-overs...whatever. As you can hear, it's very different than what's out there so use it to your advantage!
