I've known about this website for many years, and as a kid, I'd check it out now and again whenever I had the chance, but I never really made an account until a few years ago, to which I didn't do anything.
Through those years however, I've picked up some hobbies such as creating Pixel Art, and making music, and I started posting them on YouTube and Instagram.
Recently YouTube started going about doing things that I don't really like, not to mention their copyright bots are a real pain in the behind, so I left it altogether and decided to find a place I can just share my music in peace.
I looked all over the internet. I looked at places like Soundcloud, which seemed nice, but somewhat limited. I looked at other places that offered music uploading, but it was all for commercial stuff, paying to upload my music and then I start making money in the process. Sure that sounds like a good thing, making money off of my hobbies, but I don't want that!
I'm someone who believes in making music and pixel art as a passion, and I won't sell anything unless I put a tremendous amount of time into it.
Most of my music isn't the most professional sounding, just about everything I know about making music and music theory is self-taught. This also applies to pixel art too, almost everything there was learned through trial and error as well.
But anyway, I digress. I was looking for a site to upload my music when I suddenly remembered something.
I remembered Newgrounds. I used to go here as a kid, like I said, and I'd always play the games, watch the animations, listen to the music, and it was great.
Then I thought, I could upload my own music here as well. I honestly don't care to make any money off of it, and I'd be happy if people would want to use it in things (with proper credit given of course), because I love seeing what people can create, and to be someone to have contributed to another's desire to create is pretty amazing.
I don't make music too often as it's a pretty big challenge each time, but it's a fun one and I hope to create things that people would enjoy.
I will likely be uploading a few older tracks of mine I originally had on YouTube that I thought turned out pretty good, but you'll have to remember that they're probably pretty old and definitely not the best that I think I can do.
Even if my music barely even gets seen, I'm totally fine with that too. If no one cares about it, sure!
I mostly want a place to put my music to have online and maybe share with friends.
Anyway, it's been fun coming back to this place after a long while, and I hope to meet some people here and share my passion for music.
Also, if you're for some reason interested in my Pixel Art, I do have my Instagram account linked in my profile. I won't be posting my pixel art here as I already have that covered there, this is primarily for my music.
