I'm interested to find new ways to make music.

Played bass guitar over 11 years. After 20 years I'm back to do electronic music. I like many genres, like Hip Hop, Techno, House, Dubstep, D&B, Psytrance, Electro and list goes on. But I don't forget my roots with Punk, Rock and Metal music, still my favourite influences comes there.

Sometimes I also stream my music on Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/kettupaini
