Music kind of just happened spontaneously a few years back. I found a track on YouTube that I liked – it inspired me, and it made me start exploring producing myself. Everything started online with people, or rather nicknames, from around the world helping each other out. Now music is a big part of my life”. Follow them for more updates on their Facebook page.
