Music & Sound
"Music is not just a passion, it's a language that speaks to the soul.
And production is the tool that allows us to craft that language into a masterpiece."
ABOUT ME
Music has been a constant presence in my life since childhood. I vividly remember learning to play the piano at age 7, attending individual classes at a Music School in my hometown. It quickly became my second home, and I spent most of my free time there learning new instruments, theory, art, drama, and even pursuing my passion for professional dancing, competing across Europe.
As time passed, my love for music only grew stronger. By the age of 15, I had become a classically trained pianist, drummer, singer, and had even started to play guitar. I joined an orchestra, which usually kept me busy over weekends. We traveled the world, attending many competitions and festivals. It was during this time that I realized I wanted to become a teacher and enrolled in a Pedagogical High School focused on Preschool and Extra-curricular education.
However, my passion for music never dwindled. In fact, it only became stronger. I decided to pursue a degree at the University of South Wales, and after being accepted, I moved to the UK in 2018. It wasn't easy at first, and it took me three years to re-learn and understand "Welsh-English." But eventually, I earned an honours bachelor's degree in Contemporary Music Performance, with a focus on drums.
While studying, I played in several local bands and collaborated with many talented artists from various creative fields. During the COVID-19 lockdown, I started recording my own covers using cheap equipment, which sparked my passion for music production. I then decided to obtain another degree, this time a master's degree in Music Engineering and Production, where I discovered my true passion for combining music and production in creative ways.
Throughout my musical journey, I have been fortunate enough to collaborate with many talented artists and work on various projects. I also became a tutor for local primary schools, teaching pupils how to use GarageBand for digital music production. Additionally, I am excited to be the head of the music department for 'ElectronicGypsy,' a thrilling new project.
Despite my busy schedule, I still travel back home to perform and compete with my orchestra from time to time, and I continue to work as a session musician for other artists. If I find any free time, I enjoy composing my own music or re-arranging covers.
Music has been a lifelong passion for me, and I hope to continue exploring new ways to combine my love for music and production in the years to come.
