Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hi there! I'm AX-! I was part of the massive collaboration that resulted in a SOCIAL TV EXPERIENCE EMMY® with PIVOT’S "HitRECord on TV: Season 1,"and I've since moved on to do more in the world of creativity. Not only do I compose and create industry quality instrumentals for TV and Film, but I've also developed skills in Graphic Design and Social Media Management.

I also provide industry quality instrumentals to YouTube entertainers, video bloggers, bands, rappers, and other DJs. I began making music on piano at age 8, and progressed to playing most stringed instruments as a teen. I was in music theory throughout high school and after. As an adult I've developed more rhythm and skill with percussive instruments as well. I combine recorded raw instruments with MIDI-tracked compositions to create a prolific catalog of beats spanning across genres. Some examples of the production work I've done for others, can be found at:

How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I started out by trying to play the melodies from my favorite cartoon and video game them songs on my tiny Casio keyboard. As I developed a better ear for music and learned more theory, I found myself wanting to branch out and create more. I practiced writing music in all different keys, time signatures, and styles until finally arriving at a blend of hip-hop, acoustic rock, jazz, pop, and classical. My taste in music has changed with me as I've learned more.
What´s new right now?
I've curated some groups of my favorite shirt designs at https://bit.ly/AxMediaShirts if you'd like to take a look. I'm currently working on new music for NeenaB, TekForce, and Huge Euge; and I'm also still creating new original music for TV and Film that can be found at https://www.songtradr.com/ax.stinnett
