Untitled Song

<p>My dad (DJ Ryder) is the guy who got me interested in music and introduced me to some of my influences like pink floyd, mantronix, soul sonic force, sugarhill gang, and a bunch more. I started playing trumpet when I was in middle school for band and I learned how to read and write sheet music. about 2 years later I started getting back into music when I met Vyncent Flaw at the Crest theater. Me and my friend (Rewriter) started talking about forming an electro band since he had some instruments and he hooked me up with a program called Fruity Loops so I could start making songs and that is pretty much what got me started. I have tried to get into a real metal band for a while but nothing never really worked out and the band I formed with my friend has not gone anywhere, instead we just worked individually as he became Rewriter and I was just David Mercer. I wound up buying an electric guitar and an electric drumset at the start of my senior year but the drums broke so I stopped using them. I just kept programming with FL studio and made&nbsp;quick songs here and there&nbsp;but because I&nbsp;never put anymore then&nbsp;30 minutes they never went anywhere. I took a try at other genres of music&nbsp;with side projects such as 8-Bit Bonanza, Dolphin Strangler, and I tried to form groups with other internet musicians.&nbsp;The one song that did have&nbsp;some success was made under&nbsp;the Dolphin Strangler&nbsp;name, which I only made one song&nbsp;for. Dolphin&nbsp;Strangler was created to see how dark I could be with a mix&nbsp;of metal and&nbsp;industrial. The only song&nbsp;I made was "Blow Hole" and it featured my friend James St. James who sung the song for me. it was featured on a big collaberation CD&nbsp;for the site enterthe404.com but I stopped working in the project shortly after because of the material it contained. <br /><br /><br /><br />Now In 2008 I have&nbsp;released&nbsp;2 EPs under&nbsp;David&nbsp;Mercer and 1 under 8-Bit Bonanza.&nbsp;I have been making music for about two years and i now that I have graduated from high school I am currently working on my first real debut album. I am trying to take this very professionally by purchasing a Microkorg that comes with a vocoder and a better mic for better quality so I can do live shows. At the same time I&nbsp;just joined a new metal&nbsp;band and I think that this one will acctually&nbsp;last because the people are really good and they want to&nbsp;start working on&nbsp;music as soon as possible.<br /><br /><br />I am also the admin (and have been for almost a year now) for a big music&nbsp;promotion&nbsp;organization&nbsp;(focusing mainly VGM and chiptune bands)&nbsp;called the Squish&nbsp;Squash Squad, or SSS for short. I am currently working on the first episode of the SSS podcast which&nbsp;have a&nbsp;big amount of different genres of music and exclusive interviews with some of our featured artists.&nbsp;Last but not least I have been a moderator for hackthemusic.com for a while&nbsp;before it shut down.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
