I started making music in 2009 just playing around with free versions of different softwares
I can act like I play guitar but I only know a couple cords
I use Acid studio 9 by sony
My laptop is the only thing considered to be hardware at the moment
I mostly listen to tracks from soundcloud I don't listen to very many artists that are well known because its easier to find new stuff from the people who don't already have a contract signed with a company
Mine would have to be a underground recording of a set by a DJ named Doc Watson we had a cd of this set list and played it from the time I was 5 until I was 12 or so
Growing up my dad was into going to clubs and stuff like that and he would bring a cd home every now and then of the playlist that was used in the club that night and I would listen to them off the computer so I pretty much grew up with all kinds of different music in my life
My music is a little more raw I still have spots to improve and tricks to learn but I'm still proud with the tracks I make even though they may not sound like something you will hear on the radio
I do landscaping and things like that
