It's Your Journey...
I started learning music production out of pure curiosity and a deep love for underground electronic music. What began with messing around in DAWs quickly turned into an obsession — teaching myself through trial and error, online tutorials, and just spending hours crafting sounds.
That journey led me to start releasing music under my own label BINARY to support other forward-thinking artists. Producing music isn’t just technical —
it’s emotional, experimental, and always evolving. If you’re just starting out, keep creating, keep learning, and don’t be afraid to sound different.
