This month marks 4 years since i started writing music. Throughout those years i spent hours every day just writing trying to get better and build up skills and i've been posting my stuff on this forum alone since i started, so i thought i'd make a little progression thread of thus far
___
2012:
First songs i ever made were posted here, songs gone though.
Started off on Newgrounds, absolute shit in early/mid 2012
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/490390
Later 2012 pushing through shitty track after shitty track, first 'big break' to me occurred after remixed a sims song, tweeting at sims && they retweeted & commented on song
By the end of 2012 i'd gotten quite a bit into hiphop, and would basically just go on to make hiphop tracks till 2014ish
___
2013:
Started off only writing low-budget hiphop beats with direct samples. Had full album come out, was shit.
Mid 2013, started going by OHD. Had another big break in my eyes when Buzzfeed used one of my songs.
Progressed, practiced, went silent for a few months, came out with 2 EPs in late 2013. One of which had a song on it called Priorities
___
2014:
Mid 2014, Youtube promo channel called "holy chill" finds Priorities song, posts to their channel & soundcloud, shows lots of people my song. Lots of people upload/use priorities. Proudest moment. Love seeing people do what they love doing to something i created

Late 2014, stop affiliating with OHD, decide to just go by real name. Practice writing every day, don't really release anything. Just focusing on getting better. Switched from hiphop influence stuff to more electronic just out of interest in electronic music.
___
2015
Silent year. Kept practicing lots, didn't release anything much. Really found my sound during this year and got confident in a lot more stuff.
___
2016
Now, finally decided to come out from just practicing and make a discography for myself under my regular name. EP in works, 2/3 done ish. Got a manager, been practicing and practicing and practicing

Hopefully you hear some progression/difference between 2012 and now!
That's bout it
