Hi my name is Nick Drakos,

I currently enrolled in this program in hopes of growing connections within the music industry. I have been recording and producing music for the better half of a decade with Ableton & Fruitloops software and have recently been publishing my tracks onto my SoundCloud page under the name, "Paax." My genre of choice is house music and various electronic. 

I was first introduced with music at age 7 when my mother bought a baby grand for me & my brother to learn. I played for 8 years up until high school. I was without music until I graduated college and started playing guitar. From there I experimented with piano, guitar, mandolin, bouzouki, harmonicas, & even random finds like ocarinas or panflutes. Everything was self-taught and soon afterwards I became obsessed with synthesizers & music production software. Now my music is recorded using a Roland TR-8 drum machine, a Korg MS-20 synthesizer, a Moog Minitaur Synthesizer & an Akai Mpk88 Midi Controller. I own a lot of equipment but those for now have been my recent go-to toys for me. 

Anyway, music is my life.

Cheers.
