ABOUT ME
My name is Alexander, also known as Vexento. I was born on the 25th of July 1997. Born and raised in Oslo, Norway.
Music has been a huge part of my life, and i have always been addicted to music. I literally can not go a single day without listening to music, and I’ve always wanted to be able to create my own tunes. I just didn’t know how.. That was when i found this free, simple program called “Virtual DJ”. You can not really do much with it, but i had lots of fun messing around with other tracks. Then i moved on to something called Mixcraft (I think thats what its called). And then from Mixcraft to Garage band. I also downloaded a whole bunch of other music making programs, but i couldnt find what i was looking for. All these DAWs had too many loops and samples. Thats not what i wanted.. I wanted to make my own melodies, sounds, beats etc.
I first discovered FL Studio when a friend of mine introduced me to it back in 6/7th grade. And i have been playing around with it ever since. It had everything i was looking for, and yes, it was very complicated at first, but i got the hang of it after some time. I remember when i first downloaded the demo version, me and my friend, Sondre made cover tracks of movie soundtracks. I especially remember when i did a remake of the Titanic theme song (Celine Dion – My heart will go on). Those were the days!
I never released any of it though. The thought of getting harassed or made fun of scared me. I kept everything for myself and i only shared it with my friends. My best friends, Daniel and André always told me to upload it to YouTube, but i was too shy. I dont really talk to Andre that much anymore, But i would not be here without any of them.
School got harder and i eventually had to switch schools. I then got diagnosed with ADHD, Aspergers Syndrome and a whole bunch of other stupid things. I basically just lost all my friends and the people i used to talk to (I never lost Daniel, He is like a brother to me and i will always have him in my life ❤). Me and my mom moved a lot so it was hard for me to find friends where i lived. I spent more and more time alone in my room. I had a lot of emotions and feeling that i couldnt get out. So one day, i decided to open up FL Studio and actually try tomake an original track. Well, obviously it sounded like shit, but it was a way for me to express my feelings and that is where it all started!
I fell in love with FL studio and the whole music production in general. And so i kept producing. A friend of mine were hosting a party, and he wanted me to make a track for him. So i sat down and started producing.. That is when “Go” was born. He loved it! And he pretty much forced me to upload it to Youtube. He told me that i could get big. That people all over the world would love it. So i made some really simple Audio spectrums and uploaded the video to YouTube.
I then signed out of Youtube and told myself never to look at it again, because i was scared. But i did.. I signed in again a couple of weeks after, and my head just exploded. There were so many amazing comments and likes. You guys actually liked it! And that surprised me. It really did. The video got more views and i received so many beautiful comments, and it motivated me to keep going. So i decided to keep producing and upload it to YouTube. And look where we are today. 20 thousand subscribers and over 2 million views in total. (Still counting) And i am working on my first Album!
It has been an amazing journey so far, and it is not over… It’s only just begun (:
