Well, hello. I'm North Kozar (or Kozarious) but people just call me Kozar. I highly doubt anyone here knows me, so I'll get to meet new people, yay! Anyway, I found my way to this site awhile ago when all the epic Balloon Party teasers came out and have been meaning to join up but just hadn't. I dunno why it felt slightly intimidating joining in at what seemed like "late in the game" -- but I'm over that now and just wanna get more into this awesome community!
I'm from the northern land of Alaska, born and raised here. An 18 year old High School Senior, trying to figure out sdjhfgjadhfgsjdhf what to do for college and all the fun that comes with that. I currently have no idea. Interestingly enough, when I finally finished all my college applications is when I completed my first (and currently only) whole MLP related song. I think the stress of this transition from High School to College is messing with my creativity a bit.
Also avid video gamer, mostly console in the past (ME3 came out today! super excited to start in on it soon, collectors edition is best edition). Only reason I own an Xbox though is because of Halo 3. My game collection grew around that. This summer one of my friends got me into League of Legends and I've really been enjoying that alot (any LoL players here?)
I also really love doing photography/photoshop/layout, and worked on my high schools' yearbook, designing the cover (granted I didn't take the picture that's on the cover, but still, pretty cool to leave that behind as a senior). I also love doing video editing and montage type stuff. Always wanted to do a Halo 3 Machinima and got pretty far in ideas, but never made one. Also stuck using iMovie. Le blech, but it works. Anyway, onto the music stuffs!
I used to play the violin for a couple years, starting it in private lessons, continuing into our junior youth symphony, but due to complications involving my private teacher, that fell apart and I haven't played it since 7th grade. Other than that I don't really know much involving music. All I can go off of is what sounds right to my ear. As well, ever since I got my first computer back around (I think) the beginning of 6th grade, the first thing I did was open up GarageBand and start throwing loops around making dinky little things. I did that fairly consistently, expanding here and there as I learned, but not really ever doing my own unique stuff (just loops) until roughly three years ago when I made a piece that I played all on my keyboard (no programmed notes). And for some reason after that, I stopped doing anything musically related. Just about two years went by until I slowly began getting back into it, discovering dubstep (which I had been thinking of melodically, but never had heard anything/knew what it was until that point) and finding artists new to me like Pendulum and Feed Me. It's been a slow process from that point, but it's picking up pace. Inspirations come from everywhere, and I'm never without an idea it seems, I just lack the motivation to do it (which like I said, could be related to my mental congestion lately). My hopes are that getting feedback (as I live off of feedback) will help me to keep up doing music, which I do love to do. Recently I've switched over to trying out Ableton from GarageBand.... Oh man, that's such a nice change.

I also just want to become more a part of the Brony community. Oh, right, the show. I got started on the show indirectly via a friend posting a link to "nyan cat" on Facebook. And I'm like, wow this is old, but I saw Alex S.'s Nyan Cat dubstep in the recommended videos. From there I randomly found his Glitchstep MLP Theme remix, which floored me. I had no idea what the show was at the time, looked it up, was slightly confused, read more, and left it for a couple weeks. Came back, watched the first two episodes. Left it another week. Then watched the third. Later that day I finished the tenth. But most of the awesome, in my opinion, is the Brony community at large.
Also, I guess I can ramble. Loquacious. Well, maybe you can see this 'wall' from spaaaaaace. One last hello from me to everyone!

). Some of it even introduced me to new genres of music. Never thought i'd love electro in certain cases.
