I have been playing music since I was 6 years old. I started on a xylophone, then worked my way up to trumpet, piano, then guitar. I began writing poems and songs in 7th grade, in 2004. My Youtube channel is nateleephillips
In 2008, at age 17, I had my first experience with Sony ACID Pro. I bought ACID Studio 7 later that year and played with it for a couple of years before I bought a new computer and couldn't transfer the license. I recently bought ACID Pro 7 and have been occupying my free time making tracks with it.

Favorite bands: Switchfoot, Relient K, Petra, Whiteheart, and Weird Al Yankovic.
With regard to loop-based songs, I'm often inspired by a loop. I will build a track around that loop or a set of similar loops.
Songs that I've written usually sound Contemporary Christian, vaguely similar to Relient K and Switchfoot - not just because of the music itself, but because of the cleverness of the lyrics.
My loop-based music is usually mellow and chill, but sometimes I'll go a bit crazy with heavy synth-based fast tracks.
Work in manufacturing. I am currently floating between assembling parts for high-end aluminum railings and working inside sales for the same company.
