Lets see:
Brief history: it all started with the big bang, then
No, seriously, I'm 25, have a physics degree (and therefore lots of A-levels and GCSEs and stuff) work as a technical and operations advisor for immobilisation of the nasty stuff that comes from nucyoular reactors (its well paid and not wholly uninteresting or pointless but by Thor am I bored with it. Well, the work is OK, but I hate with a passion the work culture here)
Writing music for a band and learning as much as I can about audio, acoustics, tracking, mixing, and what have you for the immediate purpose of recording a demo EP or album that sounds half decent and the dim and distant hope that I can put the skilz it to use in a financially beneficial fashion.
Currently looking into working on the side as a guitar tech. I know it already (doing my own guitars from day 1, getting on for 10 years I've failed and stumbled my way to being a pretty good tech for the simple everyday stuff (up to fret dress)) and people keep asking me to do it, so I may as well make a business of it.
