Question: Summing up 2015, in a musical nutshell what did music do for you and where did it take you?
Answer: 2015 was a pretty solid year.. I started over 20 tracks, some were struggles (writers block) and some I managed to finish. Music helped me get through Uni, gave me something to go to after a shit study session. In a nutshell I think 2015 was about me finding a sound I really like working with.
