Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
A big chunk of my early music influence come's from the 80's synth-pop era. I started playing the guitar with a few bands, and was obsessed with sound experimentation through the use of effect pedals. I eventually bought my first sampler in 1996 and have evolved with my sound into what Yoda Yen is today.
