Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started writing music with my friend Stephen Dunlop when I was 11. At the time, we were writing simple rock songs.
As years went on, I become more interested in dance music and got more into DJing and wrote my first few songs on an old keyboard I got for my birthday a fe years back.
After teaching myself keyboard, mostly picking tunes up by ear, I got a new keyboard off my parents.
Soon after this, I got some music making software, where I learned to make basic songs.
My music career has only recently made any progress since I started colege and have met many great musicians and producers as well as learning how to use different types of equipment and software.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Mostly gigs for parties and functions.
