I'm never very good at making intro threads on forums, but I'll give it a try. I decided to take on music six years ago after being involved with making art and cartoons for most of my life. I've always had an interest in music, but never felt like I was good enough to actually play music (although I could write lyrics and sing). After teaching myself how to play guitar and bass, plus learning some things about electronic arrangement and music production, I feel that I have gotten to an adequate level though I strive to get better (especially on the production end). I've come here mostly to look for a second pair of ears to listen to any incomplete songs I make and provide production pointers, though I'm willing to collaborate on others' work if need be (I have done some collaborative work with other artists in the past). Anyway, I hope this place is a good fit for me.
