GALAXY

About Me

As long as I can remember, I've always loved music. Growing up I spent most of my time trying to play instruments, and trying to sing along to every song I knew. Even when I was young, I can remember several times, trying to get a bunch of friends together to play music, or to be in a band. As time went on I began trying to write my own music and my own lyrics. My parents would find pieces of scrap paper all over the house with different rhymes or different music parts written on them.
I didn't start playing guitar until I was 13, before that I had always messed around with drums, or toy keyboards and things like that. Ever since I picked one up for the the first time, I couldn't put it down. It took me a while to learn it myself, but as time went on I soon started playing along to all my favourite songs, and even started writing some of my own.
This isn't really a band, or a side project. It's just a chance for me to get all the songs that I write in my free time out there for people to listen to. I'm always writing songs, so I thought it would be a waste to just let a lot of them go to waste, which is why I've started this.
The songs vary from each other, some are me sitting down to write a song about a specific situation or feeling, others are just a product of me waking up in a cold sweat late at night in my bed with a tune or lyric in mind. They're not designed to be anything specific, or to attract people's attention, they're just simply me.
