KSSSJA!

About Me (warning: frivolous oversharing!)

I was born when i was 0 days 0 months and 0 years old in a little town in NY called Holley. I grew up speaking Russian and English, and i was homeschooled because i absolutely hated social interaction and refused to go to school. I spent alot of my time in Holley’s bordering town Brockport and in Rochester because there’s not really anything in holley (besides some abandoned buildings, a Dollar General and 3 Crosby’s corner shops, lol). As an adolescent I enjoyed urban exploring & experimenting with music (still do.) I started making music when i was around 13 i’d say, i wasn’t very good, i just liked to experiment with synthesizers and DAW production. I bought an audio inteface and a mixer when i was 14 which was quite the game changer. I started progressing and eventually bought a turntable workstation, specifically the Edison Scratch 2500, which led me to start putting together sets in my garage, and eventually around other local venues and basements. I still have my flashdrives from some of my old sets. I got a Numark Party Mix deck for christmas one year and I began working w/ software DJing, and creating mashups of songs i really liked, which i still do. I was not very liked by the members of my town to say the least, me and my peers thought it was funny to go around every night and bother everyone, and we constantly trolled our local neighboorhood watch facebook page (stoopid asf). Around the time, I had discovered a tiktok account for the group whistlegraph. I have made some minor collaborations with them, but i really do not associate with them anymore due to some personal reasons. I was on probation during the time due to making extremely stupid decisions, (hence being a bored teenager in orleans county) and was barred from accessing the internet due to posting a terroristic threat. I was upset with the fact that i was not able to share my works to the internet, which was very short lived after my sentence ended after one whole year. it was quite the time. i am very grateful that i made it off of probation, because one night my dumb young self and one of my peers decided to steal my family car (which i was unlicensed at the time) and drive to Brockport, where we got pulled over by local police due to not abiding by the speed limit. The officer found out i did not have a license and took me and that friend into custody, and alerted my probation officer. He called our parents to pick us up, and when i got home i chainsmoked yellow american spirits while crying. I was taken to court for violating probation, where the judge dismissed the case, which was incredibly surprising. By the way, this is your reminder to never ever do stupid shit and get on probation because it’s not fun at all. To this day, i still write and produce music, and i produce music for other people who i really enjoy working with. I have previously published my music to streaming services, and have a soundcloud account where i post (and delete) projects that are not worthy enough to go on higher platforms. I currently still live in Holley (unfortunately) and play at live shows locally. Thats about all that i wanna summarize, so goodbye telephone mary!
