A new artist and profile is chosen every month and previous featured profiles are listed below. Current Featured ProfileTyler Smith (known on YC as 'Hands') is a first-year composition student at Grand Valley State University in Michigan. He is trying to make a career in music despite having perhaps the most generic name in the universe. He has wanted to be a composer ever since he heard Danny Elfman's "Music for a Darkened Theater", and perhaps even before that. Previously Featured ProfilesNovember 2007: Jonathan Howie Jonathan Howie was born in Marquette, Michigan, on September 19, 1983, to Thomas and Catherine Howie. At age one, his family moved to West Chazy, New York, where Thomas began working for WCFE-TV, a public television station. Catherine, being a music student herself, taught Jonathan in music at an early age, and began piano lessons when he was five years old. February 2008: Michael Porcaro Michael Porcaro is a composer strictly for the piano, and he has been composing music for about 13 years. Throughout those years he studied in depth the composer Chopin. He discovered Chopin's works at about the age of 15 by listening to the Fantasie Impromptu. This inspired him to memorize every piece composed by Chopin by heart. |
