DJ Fakt is an avid Mac user who has been writing music since he was 8 years old.
"I used to bang on a steel rack and cookie cans with a pair of chopsticks. That's probably what developed my sense of rhythm. Soon after, my father bought a family tape recorder, which changed everthing. It set the path for my future in music and audio. I remember singing into the tape recorder, playing it back, and singing a harmony part with it. I didn't even know what a harmony was at the time, but it was nice."
Jump forward to 2000, when Fakt started putting together a "real" MIDI studio. "I played in a band for several years, but I never liked my role as a keyboardist. I always felt like I was in the background and nobody noticed me. I also didn't like the idea of playing other people's music. My heart was into composition and recording. I guess I'm not a "live" person. So I bought a ton of MIDI and recording equipment, along with a Power Mac G3 computer. After a few months of learning Cubase VST, I eventually decided to record and release some music. Minor Things is the first polished recording that I've released. It's airy quality makes me feel like I'm "in love." Not with anybody or anything, just that feeling.
DJ Fakt plans on starting his own label in the future. Right now, he prefers the studio life of writing and recording.
