What kind of similarities do you see yourself having with comedy-oriented acts like Weird Al or Flight of the Conchords?
I believe you once said in one of your videos that memes / comedy can lead you to getting views or selling music. My tutorials were a culmination of going to film school, learning art history, signing into the music industry, and the existential crisis of dropping out of college and being 40K in debt.
Then, around eight years ago, I was introduced to Fruity Loops and it was love at first sight. When I was a kid, I was obsessed with MIDI files and used to make my own. I was always singing and yelling rhythmically. I even formed a little band to play an Arctic Monkeys cover of “Mardy Bum” for a Hope for Haiti benefit concert. I’ve always been playing music and making music since as far as I can remember. Then I was in marching band all throughout high school, where I played alto sax and marimba during drumline competitions. Then I saw this Spanish guitar and I borrowed it from school and never gave it back. In elementary and middle school, I played clarinet. I was in orchestra all throughout my school life. How did you progress to where you are today? You started making music, but how did that lead to your tutorials? Based in Los Angeles, Calif., Contreras grew up learning several instruments and then studied film as an undergraduate student.
