| How did you get started in music?: |
|
I started off with basic music theory and flute lessons on a local music academy
when I was around 6 years old. On my teens I started taking violin and classical
singing lessons, and I became interested in alternative rock, progressive rock and
metal. I've always loved melancholic music, so I was very inspired by gothic and
doom bands. Later on I became interested in jazz, post rock, world music, and began
taking jazz harmony lessons. Nowadays I try to keep my ears open to absorb as many
musical influences as I can.
