Theme music inspired by the Nordic winter

A celebration of the start of a new year and the prospect of new opportunities. I, for one, am ready to embark on a new musical journey.

25 for 25 is a celebration of the start of a new year and the prospect of new opportunities. I, for one, am ready to embark on a new musical journey. Born with EEC syndrome (Ectrodactyly–ectodermal dysplasia–cleft syndrome), caused me to withdraw from performing music in my teenage and young adult years due to my low self-esteem and concerned about conforming to society’s ideals of normalcy.

25 for 25 behind the scenes

My aims for 2022 are to grow my YouTube channel’s reach by uploading more music and behind-the-scenes video, with a focus on impairments and music production, as well as how to make the most of available tools. By December, the goal is to have 1000 subscribers (which is quite a feat considering that I started with only 59 subscribers). I humbly request you to subscribe to my channel. 25 for 25, was submitted to Native Instruments competition in 2021. The rules of the competition was that the entry must include sounds from the Twenty Five collection. Here is the soundlist for my entry:
