"So what’s up with this guy...", you might ask?

Great question!

Well, I’m just a guy who loves music. That pretty much sums it up. 🤔

And while I’m no musical genius (nor do I have any academic achievements or degrees in music), what I happen to have is a very powerful hunger that only sound is able to keep in check.

Not just any sound, but music.

Not just any music, but the one which comes out into the world through my own being.

— Music I create and/or perform myself, beside listening.

And this hunger is the main force pushing me forward.

"...and what the heck is a 'valah' anyway!?"

Well 'Valah' in my native language means 'Wallachian' — an inhabitant of Wallachia.

As to give you a hint on where that is, I'll just say that I come from the land of Dracula.

And if you still don't know where that is, I'll let you do the "digging" (🧛🏼) yourself! 🦇

So getting back to our main topic...

I am an independent music creator (A.K.A. I make music on my own because why not 🤷‍♂️).

I create both songs with lyrics and instrumental soundtracks.

And I do it simply for creation's sake. Nothing more, nothing less.

But if I'll someday become able to sustain myself financially out of it, of course I won't say no.

That's the dream, right?

So should you want to be a part of it, you can come over to the dark side! 🌑

(And in case you do, know that I can't thank you enough, and that you are awesome!)

Should that not be the case though, I will keep doing it regardless! 👀

But all that aside...

If I would have to pick one thing, there is actually something that I would like to achieve, if possible.

And that is for my music to touch people in the same way other people's music had touched me in the past, and still manages to do today.

Because music can be powerful. Really powerful. And if used right, it can help you cope with certain aspects of life in ways you couldn’t have thought possible before.

But making good music is no easy task.

There are oh-so-many steps involved in the creative process, steps that can be difficult and complex in their own right.

But at the same time it can be so rewarding...

And it can help both you and those who consume your music as well, which in my humble opinion is the best case scenario.

But anyway...

As far as where I'm standing, while I don't consider myself as being outstanding (pun intended) in any particular way, at the same time I believe that I do actually have some skills here and there that are worth displaying.

And I consider that to be good enough, at least for me.

I believe that I have been given a gift: The gift of creation. And so I finally chose to share it with the world.

So why don't you give it a listen

It can't hurt you. And besides...

It's free! 😁
