Hi, I'm Marcel/FLagstar, a German producer, composer and guitarist who specializes in Japanese Pop, Rock, Metal and Soundtracks, but I'm not averse to other genres :)
I have 13 years of experience in music production, 15 years as a guitarist and 21 years as a composer. I started out with western Pop/Rock/Metal, but got more into Japanese music over the years due to its complexity and the amount of talented musicians. Anime and games are my two passions and another big reason why I'm making this type of music.
I produce instrumental Cover Songs, Original Songs as well as Sountracks. A full song production takes 5-10 days depending on the volume of work.
