I have a similar story to many others on here; I started out as an english major in college, but about halfway through my third semester I realized something had to change. Sure, I was doing well in the classes, but I realized that I was just regurgitating the information the instructors were giving me. I couldn\'t tell you why this rule applied to this certain passage but not the other, but I did know that something had to change, and that I needed to do something that I would enjoy, for the forseeable future, at the very least.

I have been a musician, again, like many others, for about 8-9 years, starting out on the violin. Once I got into high school, my tastes started changing, but I stuck with the violin, hoping for a scholarship or that it would help me get into a respectable university. Well, halfway through my Junior year I picked up the guitar, and never looked back, save for flip flopping between that and the bass every 6 months or so. Playing the guitar soon led up to interest in the production side of music, and before I knew it I was behind the desk, doing simple recordings on an extremely old version of Reason we installed on a school computer, and I was bitten by the bug. Sure, I wasn\'t doing anything more than just hitting record, stop, and doing some simple mixing, but it led me to where I am now, and I hope it takes me much farther.
