Two years ago we introduced you to Andreas Jahn, a teenager who composes his own music. The then 13-year old has hundreds and hundreds of files on his computer that he made himself.
Using special software, Jahn can compose tracks that mix piano with strings with horns with percussion. He has dozens of instruments ready at his fingertips, and despite his young age, he’s had years of practice putting them together. Jahn says he started messing making his own music when he was 5.
“Of course they were really simple, but that’s when I first realized this is really fun,” Jahn says. “When I was like 7 or 8, that’s when I began actually writing, instead of just using GarageBand samples. I began thinking of actual chords on the piano, writing songs and writing lyrics for them.”
