Good afternoon! Today is November 20, 2021, which means that X-Man turned one year old today. And in honor of this, I would like to tell you about where I started and what I came to. By the way, TheBMmusic already asked me about this a week ago. Therefore, almost the entire letter is copied from my TheBMmusic response. By the way, if you're reading this, then know that you're in my post.

It all started in 2019. I suddenly had a certain passion for musical creativity. By the way, before that I was not interested in music at all. I started listening to rock from the band Skillet. And I liked it. However, I got tired of this band and absolutely different music began to get into my ears. And then came the turning point. In February 2020, I learned about the Geometry Dash game from my friend (he is also my second cousin and classmate), which we are still actively playing. I was very hooked by the music from the game, and my brother and I sometimes danced to it. Later I got the news that there is a website called Newgrounds. All soundtracks used in Geometry Dash are taken from it. I sometimes visited this site and listened to something on it. I really liked it, it's one of my favorite sites. The very concept of freely posting various content and rating on a 10-point scale went to all 10 points for me. I have a desire to become a part of Newgrounds myself. In July 2020, my father bought me an iPad 7 for 27999 rubles. There was a program - GarageBand. This is actually the same application with which I started learning how to create songs. My very first track was "New Day". This is some trash... I did it on November 19. And the next day I just created an account on Newgrounds. I called him by my then nickname "Creatorsstudio". And after that, I abandoned the account for 1.5 months. During this time, I managed to create 5-7 tracks in GarageBand and almost all of them were full bottom. Then I remembered about Newgrounds, found out how to convert a file and released those tracks for which I was not ashamed at the time. Now I regret some of them. That's how I rate those tracks. Good ones: "Ballad Of Knight", "Air War", "Blackstep", "World Check", "Danger Above", "Nightmare". Averages: "Dance Of Every", "Orchestral Race", "Unnamed". Bad ones: "Alien Attack", "Polismania", "Eternal Battery", "Complete Victory". These are all my compositions made in GarageBand and released on Newgrounds. I have 19 more tracks that I either haven't finished or didn't want to release. This was my first experience. Then on February 10, 2021, my laptop was repaired. I downloaded FL Studio 20 and switched to this program. After 4 days I released "Travel North". This was my first track made in FL Studio 20. And I consider it worthy for the first attempt. Then the quality of my compositions improved and now we have come to the present time. I like making music, I often watch videos on YouTube where they tell me what to do, try to take advice from some other musicians, etc. In 2022, I plan to popularize my activities, go beyond Newgrounds and start mastering other platforms, but I don't think they will like them as much as Newgrounds.
That's my story.
