Listen.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
It started with writing lyrics, and after years of manipulating words to evoke emotion in readers, it grew to much more than words on a page. A whole other world was opened up when my dad bought me a music mixing software, and I discovered the VST synths. That, combined with my keyboard (and low-quality mic) enabled me to express the emotions contained in my lyrics in a whole other spectrum.
Enjoy.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Well I'm workin on that one, I want to have good tracks before I do gigs. Once I move to L.A. I suspect I would venture onto the live music scene.
I do compete in these Japanese singing competitions, where I perform songs by Japanese artists. We'll see how I place this year.
Your musical influences
Jade Valerie, Porcelain and the Tramps, Koda Kumi, Mike Shinoda, Linkin Park, JJ Lin, Marilyn Manson.
What equipment do you use?
Yamaha DGX-305 keyboard, random VST synths I can download, Audjoo is the latest phase. I use them in either Magix Music Maker 10 Deluxe or Sony ACID. Shure SM-48 microphone, Fender Squire (yeah, so what if I'm low-budget), BOSS distorton pedal.
Anything else?
I'll play anything I can get my hands on!
My dream is to own both a Grand Piano and a full size harp.
For now though, I am content with my beautiful keyboard and barely-alive laptop.
