I've played drums for 10 years with proper lessons for about 6 of those. I took them up because of a presentation my school did on their music lessons and I just really wanted to try it. My dad used to be a drummer too so that probably had some involvement.

I'm self-taught in guitar for about 6-8 years. That mainly came out of not being able to play my drums at whatever time I wanted, but also because I wanted to make something with melody and progressions. I probably play guitar more than drums now

I can play Piano to an okay level, nothing special at all. I want to enhance my skills greatly on this instrument because it is probably my favourite. Back when I was younger I didn't really appreciate it like that because it's not exactly the 'cool' instrument when you're 11. I'd love to be a competent Jazz pianist.

Whilst not an instrument in the traditional sense, I've spent the last 5 years learning to use DAWs and compose electronic music as well as recording my more traditional instruments. I've become quite good at it, If I may say so myself, and I hope to be able to make a living out of my solo compositions one day.
