I Produce. i have been into music from a very young age. I started making my own at the age of 12, music is my life. Everything i know is self taught.
I adore uplifting trance, it's heaven to slam on some happy trance and drift away in the music. there's something magical about music that can't be explained. but we all have that special connection to it and it has that ability to take you away to places in your mind we can only dream of.
i have music on 24/7, i can also beatbox (properly) i don't need to use my hands to make it sound better. trying to teach people how to do it is hilarious.
Reason, CuBase, FL Studio.
I listen to everything, if it has a good bassline, a good beat and rhythm then i'll listen to it. i can't pick a favorite.
The list is endless.
Mauro Picotto, The Warp Brothers, Show-Teck, E-Type, Eminem, Slipknot, Elvis, Mud, Sweet, Smokie, Alan Jackson, put it this way, the list of bands and artists, DJs etc is endless....
i have 2 kinds. 80% of what i make is happy uplifting trance, house...if im pissed off then i tend to make some hard heavy house. slipknot is good anger music too, i know they aint everyone's cup of tea but hey i like them.
