Every once in a while I’ll make a song to try an idea or piece of software. I am most influenced by the 8/16-bit era of video games from my childhood. My music is not polished and I don't really have the time to polish it.

I grew up listening to rock and pop music, until in my early teens, my parents adopted a fundamentalist Christian ideology, and I was thenceforth forbidden from hearing anything except worship music. This directly led to me secretly hosting/dj-ing for the pirated music streaming radio station, Share-or-Die.

From 8th to 11th grade, I volunteered full-time for a megachurch, where I learned sound design for live performances, recording and mix engineering, graphic design for print and digital media, how to use a Mac, how to do professional, commercial-quality printing, binding, and finishing for things like books, CDs/DVDs, and so much more (like AVID, ProTools, PhotoShop, Illustrator, Quark Express, how to use production finishing machinery, video switchers, light boards, making chicken biscuits in massive bulk, brewing 50 gallons of coffee in under an hour lol)

In college, I was the lead singer, producer/engineer, and rhythm guitarist of screamo-metal band, Paradigm. A few years later, I was the creative director, artist producer, and recording engineer for the (now defunct) multi-media production label, Brainiacs Studios. (Rest in peace, PJ. Thank you for gifting me the best years of my life)

These days, I am a just a lowly sysadmin/devops engineer working in the enterprise sector and father of 4.
