I am glad you decided to fill out this interview Yeelp and let us know more about yourself.

 I’m a super friendly kind of guy wanting to get known for my music and outgoing personalilty. I know I have a long way to go to get there but I am also really excited for a challenge and a rewarding journey! My top 3 hobbies include making music, keeping fish and listening to music. I don’t play a whole lot of games; I like to keep myself busy. I guess you could say that makes me a bit of a workaholic – I blame school for that. My music dream is to have a fan base that I can interact with everyday; I’d want to be really close with my fan base to keep them interested in me and to keep me interested in them. It’s a two way street in my opinion. But most importantly, I’d like a fan base that supports me and appreciates me.

How did you make up your username?

 Ha. That’s a short but funny story. To be honest, I’m not sure why it happened the way it happened but the best names in my opinion are the ones that come with little thought process.

Here’s my story. I was playing some Halo on the school computers one day, but I of course needed a username to use. Now, this was back when I would look at the keyboard more than the computer screen when typing. I wanted to name myself “Yello”, kinda like “Hello”, but with a “Y”. Not quite sure why. However, I had one pretty bad typo and got “Yeelp” instead. I didn’t even notice until I was in the game. It felt kinda cool so I just went with it.

When did you start making music, how did it happen?

 It kinda just happened one day. It was like a thirst or craving that needed to be quenched or satisfied. So, I decided to give it a go. I used Magix Music Maker to start myself off, as I had no idea of DAW’s and the sort. I kinda liked how things were going, so I got FL Studio to further my hobby.

Is there a certain message you want to give your audience in your works?

 Not yet, I’m working more on my production and composition technique. Then, I’ll focus on a central theme or message that I want to deliver.

Would you have any difficulty composing a certain type of music or genre?

 I try to stay pretty opened minded, but genres with more “style” and less “structure” seems to be a little more difficult. Electro swing, jazz and disco genres seems to fit here. But with practice, I’ll get the hang of it.

What programs/instruments/other things do you use?

 I use FL Studio. I play trombone and banjo so setting those up for recording isn’t out of the question. I just haven’t tried it yet (Nor have I practiced those instruments in a long time!). I use stuff like Sytrus, Toxic Biohazard and 3x Osc. I’m currently looking for good non native instruments to use in my works.

Do you see music as a career?

 Totally! I’ve even considered post-secondary education just for music! However, I probably won’t take that route and keep music as a hobby or a side career if anything. I wouldn’t use it as my primary source of income.

Are you working on anything right now? Tell us about it.

Tons of things! I’ve revamped an old loop of mine: Canadian Morning. I'm gonna see if it's any better from the original version. I’m gonna give drumstep a try and I’m really excited to work on some electro swing! I have a dance song that’s nearly done too; I just need to tweak it to be just right. I’m also working on a book series: The Chronicles of Yeelp! I post weekly updates about it on my profile page. The first book: The Devil’s Castle is a story about a dictator, more or less, controlling a world where technology and magic combine. Who is this dictator? He’s none other than Death himself. I’m currently fleshing out the Yeelp universe in Smart Ideas 5 to better organize my thoughts before I head to the paper. There’s around 15 or so characters: 5 protagonists, 1 main antagonist, and 9 henchmen. I plan to give sneak previews on chapters as I complete them. I really hope that this is something people will enjoy.

Other comments? (This section is for anything else you would want to write)

I’m TOTALLY friendly! I don’t bite! I’d really like to get to know the Newgrounds fan base in order to expand my own fan base. PM me or find me on Tumblr or whatever suits you most. I’d totally like to hear your opinion of me!
