Background
Started composing music and learning DTM (Desktop Music) around age 23, completely self-taught.
I had no prior musical training or education—a bit of an unusual start.
I always loved game music and wanted to create it, so I bought composition software when I was in college.
I first uploaded music online in 2014. Before that, I made about one song every 3–6 months.
Just as my pace was picking up, I suddenly developed leukemia.
The realization that I might die tomorrow became my motivation to dedicate more time to composing.
[Chronic Conditions]
- Crohn's Disease (Intractable Intestinal Disease)
- Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia → Relapsed → Autologous Bone Marrow Transplant completed
I create music while managing these two conditions.
