So i was traveling from page to page on the audio forums clicking profiles today and i suddenly had an idea. My Idea was that all (or at least some) Audio Artists should post a Mini Biography under this post (not like the bio you see on your profile page) but instead a bio relevant to the audio forum and portal that can be utilized by Flash Authors who want Music for their Flashes. I saw a post a while ago that pondered for a solution to the "Music Wanted For My Game" Kind of Posts, they had many ideas but they eventually agreed that the posts weren't made often enough to be counted as spam posts, that on top of the actual need for flash authors to find music for their projects in time. So I'm proposing that all willing audio artists who want to submit a mini Bio consisting of this type of information please do so here. This is an example:

1. Name
2. Music Page (Examples)
3. Favorite Genres
4. Most Common Type of Music (eg. loops vs. songs)
5. Any Sort Of Acheivement (such as: maybe a contest win or some kind of degree, that kind of thing)
6. Years of Experience
7: And a little something about yourself maybe throw in some of your favorite stuff or something

This may have been tried before but not successfully, i tried to give i a cool official sounding name just in case this works and people refer back to it to get the info they need on individual artists

- Maybe a sticky?.. most likely not but anyways go ahead and start

i hope i don't get flamed by loansindi lolz, no disrespect tho

I'm glad i got a nod here, but i actually kind of like this idea. Not that anyone looking for a musician would look at it.

1. Derek Bever (loansindi)
2. I think my best works for demonstrative purposes are 'Musings in Bm', 'Pickin and Missin', and i guess... 'opposite of pro'. I pick these as a a good representation of the variety of styles i try my hand at.
3. Metal, ska, rock, 8bit, most anything that doesn't fall into country or rap. Most pop makes me sad.
4. Metal and 8bit
5. I once won a starbucks gift card playin bass
6. I started playing guitar in 2006
7: I use FL mixed with as much 'real' recording as I can manage. Guitar/bass, as well as any other 'real' instruments that I have access to and can play. I do a lot of recording for other people as well. I do live sound mixing for musicals.

1. Devin Powers
2. Anything is fine
3. Any genre that makes you think out of the box
4. Ambient, Downtempo, Experimental
5. I've won 3 NG shirts in various MACs over the years
6. About 5 years of writing and playing guitar
7: I use a mix of Reason and Ableton Live with various, mostly free VSTs. Also any other kind of instrument/noise maker I can get my hands on

3. Metal and classical
4. I've written everything from classical to video game music, and no style really stick out more than another.
5. First runner up for the Edward E. Montgomery Jr. Piano Competition several years back. It's the only real professional competition I've entered.
6. Piano nineteen years, saxophone thirteen years, french horn six years, mellophone five years, mallets two years, trumpet one year, composing seven years.\
7. I use FL Studio at the moment, but my main experience in recording and producing is in Pro-Tools. I've actually had two albums I produced and/or assisted in producing that were released on indie labels. I also play piano at a lot of weddings in my free time.

dear god things really do come full circle.. there was a site like this in here years ago where everyone had a little bio of themselves and then a pic at the end - which was the precursor for the piccies thread.. ah well might as well throw my 2 cents in.

1. Name: Shawn Dall
2. Music Page: Have fun
3. Favorite Genres: Video Game, Industrial, Ambiant, Classical
4. Most Common Type of Music (eg. loops vs. songs): Songs
5. Any Sort Of Acheivement: 3rd most amount of songs, most reviews responded to, original roster
6. Years of Experience: 6
7: And a little something about yourself: My name is shawn as you all know - I am 25 years old - I came to this site at the age that most of you are at NOW - when you were all little kiddies (even paragon was a kiddie then) back then there was the high roster - people in their 20s - Evil-Dog, Dreamscaper, RageVI, ZeRo-BaSs, Jarrydn, Me, and others.. we ruled for a bit.. then the new roster came along - B0UNC3, and.. the rest of you ;), and then they made the redesign, and we all scrabbled for somethnig meaningful, and the end result - this forum - this community, its all we have left is each other man.

1. Jeff Mitchell (Kaizerwolf)
2. Here (Most Popular Songs: Oxidus Water [2009] Escape Plan [2008])
3. Ambient Electronica, Trance
4. More common for me now would be ambient electronic. Mostly songs, not loops.
5. Won the "I Swear It's True" contest. (such as: maybe a contest win or some kind of degree, that kind of thing)
6. 1.5 years of experience.
7: I started making music with a cracked version of FL8, but i recently decided to be decent and buy it. Buying it has actually increased my confidence in my work, and i'm now more satisfied with the things i can prodice. Music has always been a big part of life for me; i have what some folks call "perfect pitch." I can tell any note, basically anytime. This helps in recreating melodies or even keeping nelodies in my head for long periods of time.

This was a cool idea. :D

To be honest, there's hundreds of artists that're younger than 13 and have had albums etc. Some of them have had a whole career by that age. *Cough* like Michael Jackson.
