Aspis on SoundBetter

If you need someone who know music theory you're at the right place. I am 20 years old and over 12 years i'm in music by playing different instruments and for 2 years i make beats on daw programs. recently i am added in a band which play pink floyd as a keyboard player. But i don't know anything about mix and master, i create it they make it shine.

It's Mert Yalçın, born in Turkey. A 20 years old teen who loves music more than anything in his life, actually i cant live without music. When i was 8 i met with guitar and then everything started. 3 years after won a competition between schools. That year i started playing piano. 2 years later i was playing many sonats andclassical masterpieces, that was the year i started playing drums like 13-14 years old. When i was 15 i met with synthesizers and started playing pink floyd variations. Anyway, i finally started making hip-hop beats 2 years ago and for now i have 200 tracks at least. But i dont share them because my main genre is jazz and lo-fi so here my soundcloud account you can listen my song over there. soundcloud.com/aspisinspired
