Thank you for 13 tumultuous yet rewarding years on YouTube! I decided to do something special to celebrate hitting 60k so I asked my Patreon community for questions and I did my best to answer everything despite anxiety I get when talking to a camera, and I actually had fun editing the video :) I hope you can learn something new about me, laugh at me, or find something entertaining about this Q&A video.

A short bio that I did not think to include:
I’m half Japanese, half Welsh, born and raised in California, USA. I graduated college with a Bachelor’s in Jazz Studies from CSU Los Angeles. Right now I live in Hayward, CA (near San Francisco, for reference). My goals right now are to make a living doing music (YouTube, MusicNotes, video piano lessons) and find place I can live in peaceful productivity far away from the failed, politically and morally destroyed California. I just want evergreen trees and mountains, now.

If you have any other questions, I’ll try to reply in the comments below :)
