Hi! A good and somewhat open question..! I studied music at university at undergraduate level and before that I had some very lovely music teachers at school who encouraged me with compositon. I made stuff up on piano vaguely since I was young. improvising, recording tunes on tape and writing them down, experimenting with computers, and listening to/playing/studying in an informal way music that I liked – including, very important to my development, Nobuo Uematsu’s Final Fantasy scores – that’s all part of it…
