Name : Jon Krasheninnikoff Skarin Location: Denmark/Amager Age : 23 years old † Artist : Music producer The name is Jon Krashenninikoff Skarin. And here’s the story… I am born and raised in Denmark at Amager and have always been very fond of music.’ Every since I was a little boy I have been playing with my moms piano, and was at that age already inventing my own themes and melodies. I can’t read notes, i have always been abel to "play by ear" Back then I didn’t think that much about what music were, and what effect it later would have on my life. When I was 15-16 years old, I played ice hockey on the national ice hockey youth team. It was a fantastic time with friendships and bounds, which I miss this very day. Back when I was 13 years old, I fell down and become def on my right ear; also I have now got tinnitus, but that was not going to stop me, after a small break continued my hockey. All thou I got older, and started to “hit the town”; many things back then resulted in that I stopped playing hockey. I lost some of my friends,i got shot at, I stated to drink a lot, and do drugs… Kind of messed my life up, witch I regret to day. I just said… “.... it all”. I forgot my hockey, my friend, forgot what It meant to have a family. “Never forget to remember, that the friends we keep, is the family we grow, that is all that matters”. I wish that I could turn back the hands of time. But life goes on, often easies said than done! The evil curse, our old memories will always return to us and haunt us. I started to realise that I had ran into a messed up situation, witch I my self had created. I would be hard to get up upon that horse again, and I’m still trying to claim to the back of my run away horse. When you get down as low as I, you just have to get up again, you have to be strong, you have to understand your situation, and then try to get through it with the support of your friends and family. My gratitude stay with these people, I will always remember those who have help med get to where I am to day… Thank you, if it weren’t for you guys, I don’t think I would be sitting here today. But of cause there is also happend greate things in my life. The time with my family and with my friends from the old public school, from the hockey team and from Amager and my producer/composer homies, the men and women from my inner circle for those, I am thankful. Also I love nature very much, there are lots of thinks!. To understand the person that I am, and you might have a picture in your head right now; you have to understand the “world” that I am living in. So when you hear the music I am creating, you might understand Why I create this music that I do. My music: Well, as menaced I started in front of my mom’s piano, where I with time created melodies and song (with out notes). I think that is the reason why I later became very fond of music. I created my first “peace of art” back when I was 6 or 7 years old, it was about 20 seconds long. But time went by. I started put time and thought into every peace of music I heard and tried to understand the artist that had created the peace. It created a whole new universe for me, a new world. I started to think, what is the artist behind the music thinking? How is he or she as a person? Why have he or she made this peace of music? What is he or she trying to express through this music? I find this very interesting and developed a whole new perspective around the fine art of music. Music is art, an art that tou ches us, and our feelings. Just like a painting does, maybe even more. By creating a peace of music, you create your own story. You Close your eyes and step into another world, and it’s fantastic. When all is dark and black, you need light, and comfort. When you have been down as low as I have, you need medicine. Music is my medicine, my comfort, and light in the dark. It helps me psychical. Fear became depression; depression became a mild form of schizophrenia. But I make progress as my music progress. Maybe my story can help you, maybe listen and find your self I my music. Music is fantastic. Thanks to my family, thanks to my friends, and thanks you music. Jon Krasheninnikoff Skarin
