Music has probably been my consistent obsession. I started learning piano at age five. Picked up guitar at 13. I started listening to progressive rock around this time, such as Rush, Yes, Pink Floyd and Dream Theater. I soon got my first synthesizer. Eventually started experimenting with other instruments like wood flute, mandolin, and bass. If I ever go deaf, someone kill me.

I have been playing the piano since I was seven and I started learning guitar when I was 14. Also, since April I have been playing the drums. I learned the basics from Wii Music, and once I got to grips with the basics I started experimenting with my own patterns and my own fills. I like to listen to music and play the beat by ear, and sometimes I watch videos of bands and copy what the drummer does, but I tweak the pattern slightly to make it my own.
