Artist History I have been writing songs for about ten years, though I have just gotten around to orchestrating about five years ago. I often find myself fighting between 'pop' and 'art', usually the listening public wins and I end up making pop music. I began recording music on my PC in 1999. I don't exactly have the monetary means to go renting out studios and million dollar engineers to fulill my 'visions', so I end up recording a lot of the stuff at home on a cheap recording program. This, and my less-than-stellar technical proficiency guarantees my listeners a magical experience.
