About Me

My real name is Mike, I'm from Toronto Canada, and I LOOVVEE music. I started doing this close to 6 months ago, but I've been on and off for a few years. I only recently bought some actual hardware and software, so I'm taking it a lot more seriously now.

I rly have no idea how to play anything. I took piano lessons as a child but never pursued it.

I'm pretty good at making little beats and melodies on the keyboard, but holding my own in a song is not possible

Software I Use

Traktor
Magix Music maker 17
Fruity loops professional 9

10 Favourite Albums

Honestly, ghosts and stuff never gets old for me.

Throw on a good classic rock track, or a good classic euro beat and I'm set

I've always had a soft spot for appetite for destruction...cud listen to that album over and over again forever

Realistically though, I don't have a top 5 list. I don't even have a top 50! I love all music just the same.

My Influences / Fav Artists

Throughout my life, I always had music with me. My parents listened to a lot of classic rock and some old euro style music in the 90's and that heavily influenced me. My main influences are classic euro, dubstep, and some elements of classic rock. But realistically, my only true influence is GOOOOD music. I have an intense love affair with dirty bass beats, club beats, guitar riffs, drum solos....ugh, just magic

My Music Sounds Like

Its kinda hard to pidgeon hole my music, because I like to combine and collaborate different kinds of styles in my music. I like drums, i like guitars, i like synths.....its weird

In My Other Life I ...
