"Okay, so, Ashlae has been helping me with my tennis game, and I gotta say, she's the most patient person ever! When I started, I was super clueless, like hitting the ball into the net every time. But Ashlae never got frustrated. She just kept showing me the right techniques and giving me tips on how to improve my swing. She broke everything down into simple steps, so it was easy to understand, and she always had a positive attitude, even when I was making a ton of mistakes. Now, I'm actually starting to get the hang of it, and it's all thanks to her patience and awesome teaching skills!

I am an electronic dance music producer of 10 years and have experience producing in a vast variety of EDM genres in FL Studio. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others and take on a step-by-step, collaborative approach in my teaching.

Since music production is an inherently creative activity, I believe in learning through active creating. A personal drive goes a long way.

"Don't let Elijah's youth fool you: he got an early start and has many years of experience creating and producing EDM songs and albums, including collabs with and remixes of music by fellow artists.
