Surprisingly…there are no secrets haha. I went to a school that required me to study abroad my Junior year (out of Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish I chose…well, the obvious) and during that time I did not have access to much/any way of making music during the 4 months abroad.
I have played saxophone since I was 12, so music is important to me, but of course I was not able to bring it to Japan. Tried to play on another sax, but that’s like DJing on someone else’s equipment all the time….Luckily, before I left my homie gave me a ‘version’ of FL Studio 9; so one day while cleaning my desktop I said ‘hmm….why not give it a try?’
Needless to say the initial results will not be posted to soundcloud haha, however that is what sparked my interest in making music. When I got back into the states, I got into DJing, graduated college, got a job teaching English in Japan between me going to graduate school, and here I am hustling to get some credit here in Japan land.
2011 April is when it all started – and I hope it doesn’t end until I retire. 🙂
