Tell Us About Your Music (Genres, Influences, etc)

Electronic-heavy instrumentals and pop-flavored servings of emotional melodies. Synthesized instruments as well as virtual pianos and strings are a mainstay in my work. I was influenced by video game composers such as Yasunori Mitsuda, but also inspired by Madonna and other mainstream artists.

How Do You Promote Your Music?

I give my CDs out to my friends. They love them. Admittedly I'm not in the public eye very much right now.

Do You Release Your Own Music? Do You Want a Deal?

I would like a deal. I would like to collaborate with other composers, I would like to write songs for professional performers to sing and perform, and I would like to license my songs to films or games. I hope if I'm loud enough, I'm gonna get myself noticed by someone.

Tips and Tricks

  • I love Adobe Soundbooth. If I could buy it I would. I used a demo of it a long time ago then it expired.
  • If you really love music, please try not to waste too much time on other dumb things, you're just going to disappoint yourself. Spend all of that energy on doing something that really emphasizes what you are good at, and do it while you are young!
  • Music is really a spiritual thing, I think. Music is what you feel. There are so many people who try to teach you how to think musically but I believe you need to feel it your own way because that is what makes it REAL.
