  1. Great Tread!!! I have been lurking around for the past month, thought this would the time in jump in the mix. My Name is Sean Nix, im 34 and I live in the Washington D.C. area. I started my music path at the age of 8 (school band - trumpet). I start play keys a few years later. Played in a jazz/ prog. rock group in high school, that was a blast. After high school head to Boston to attend Berklee college of Music. Had a great time there, met some great musician, learned alot, got to play and write alot (Graduated the same year as Paula Cole and Layla Hathaway). After graduating from the Film Scoring Dept. I stayed in Boston an tried get my music career of the gound, alot gigs - Back up band for Rap / Boy Band group , Hatian world beat band (Alot of fun), music teacher, MIDI studio engineer, wedding pianist, dance class pianist, various GB bands, studio stuff, film scoring, arranging, whatever to keep money coming in. By the mid 90's i got kind of burnt out, started working office jobs. Sold my equipment. Met my lovely wife and her son around that time, got married little over 5 years ago. Had two boys in those 5 years (A father of 3 in 5 years). Im currently working as an IT person (databases, web stuff, networking). Very little music in that time . Moved back to DC for Boston 2 years ago ( The cost of living is crazy in Boston, not that DC is great). My wife encourage me to start doing some music stuff about a year ago. Bought a Kurzweil SP88, an amp, and little Korg O5Wr. By luck got hooked up with well know Singer/Guitarist in the area ( www.jimsteed.com ) doing some nice pop gigs (opening for Eddie Money this weekend - remember that guy . Im also teaching a couple of private students. Its been fun to play again. I have been studying the whole digital recording think, checking out a bunch of DAW (which is why I started coming here). Exciting stuff. Im glad that there are forums like this, I enjoy learning from you guy, hope to be able to contribute soon. Thanks. Sean
