As an amateur in the world of music production, I have always been in awe of the thought of releasing my tracks on legitimate platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. However, I never imagined that the day would come when I would see my productions on these platforms. But to my surprise, it did.

For me, music production has always been a comforting and therapeutic process. I find solace in creating my own tracks and experimenting with different sounds and beats. My first-ever production was "To Love's End (Lo-fi version)" where I incorporated a piece from the anime Inuyasha with lo-fi beats that I found online.

I never thought that I could make it happen without spending any money. I used GarageBand on my laptop, which I already had, and connected it to the keyboard that I had at home. I stumbled upon the Inuyasha soundtrack randomly on YouTube, and even though I am not an avid anime watcher, I found the song calming. Naturally, the next step was looking for tutorials on how to play it on my piano and recorded it right away.

As for my latest release, "Spring Day [Lo-fi ver.]," it is undoubtedly one of my favourite BTS songs. The chord progression, lyrics, and vibe of the song resonated with me, and I decided to make a lo-fi version of it.

I am aware that my music may not be perfect, and I am not a professional in this field. But, my interest in music production drives me to continue creating and experimenting with different sounds. I hope you enjoy listening to my tracks and would appreciate your feedback so I can improve in the future.
