Me, me! Yeah, I grew up playing Rachmoninoff, Beethoven, Mozart, this Barber piece was my favorite... 11 years of piano, all with a focus on performing complex pieces. My mom wanted me to. That was pretty much the basis of why I did it. Studying music of any sort will get you some nice neurogenesis going, so I don't think it was a waste of time. Now I'm composing pop-ish electronic stuff. It's a totally different thing, and I'm doing it because I enjoy it. When I was 6 or 7 I jammed Ace of Base on my cassette walkman. Pop was my destiny... or something.big DJ/house/EDM people
