When I was like 10 years old I asked Shariq to teach me how to write music.
The result was more of me watching him write a song as I contributed small ideas. I did get to play with the step sequencer too!
That never really went anywhere though. He did let me borrow his Dell laptop to play with it by myself occasionally. When I installed FL on my laptop a year or two later, I started to actually try and make my own things. They were terrible, obviously, but I made my first remix and posted it here too, about maybe 3-4 years ago.
Yadda yadda something about being a douche and not understanding criticism yadda
and that's how I found out that Excalibur was an imposter.
Oh, right. I kept sending my stuff here to get butchered by Rozovian for a long time, and then I made a bad final fantasy remix and found out OCR standards were actually pretty low compared to what I thought they were when it got accepted. And then ego happened and then hey you're up to date.
