Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I am a 16 year old musician producing instrumental ambient music from my bedroom. I play piano, guitar, bass, and ukulele and use all of these in my music, as well as a lot of electronic instruments as well.
Here's a link to my latest released single:
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
In terms of who has influenced the music I make, I'd have to say Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens, and Sigur Ros are my top three. My taste changed a lot over the past four or five years but recently it's settled into something more consistent, and I'm always finding new artists I like that influence me.
What´s new right now?
I'm putting the finishing touches on my first full-length album. Currently it has nine tracks, all quite different to each other with some acoustic-based tracks, some electronic-based, and some with a mix of both. It's fully instrumental and covers a lot of different styles.

What was the biggest mistake you made when you started making music and what would be the number one tip you could give to a newcomer musician?
Leaving tracks unfinished. It's always best to finish an idea when you come up with it, no matter how long or short it is, or how good or bad it is. Finishing a song opens up so many new ideas and ways to go with it that you may love and run with.
