- Musical Style
- I like to try to keep things weird and obscure, like Soly. I used to be this really jumpy guy that always made super cool drum and bass and super happy electro and tried to make bass-heavy stuff, but now I just like to keep things personal. Every song I make now has some sort of relation to my life in some way, and I like to cheesily use synths as metaphors for things. I'm inspired by mostly underground artists, and I think my style is just mostly some sort of spacey classic stuff. I try to make songs seem like really casual chill acid trips. I never tend to stick to one genre, however. "Relaxing" is what I'd call my style.
- Musical Background
- I actually don't have any musical background. I learned a bit of piano when I was, like, 7 or 8 (which is how I come up with chords for my songs nowadays) and I used to try to rap, but that's about it.
- Started making music
- I started when I was 12. My first song was created with audiotool on january 16th, 2012. When I first started, I'd come out with songs, like, every 4 hours. They weren't the greatest, obviously, but I loved making them.
- On Audiotool
- I spent, like, weeks trying to find some kind of cool but free DAW that I can easily make music with. One day I went on the Google shop thingy, and I found Audiotool on january 16th, 2012.
- Message to the community
- Don't worry about what other people think. Make what you wanna make... Oh, and I love all of you guys, as people.
