Music is the oxygen
Without it breathing is not possible
My life with music first started on piano, playing Bach, Bartok, Beethoven, Ravel, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Liszt, and many others, but after a while I got tired of playing other composers music. The easiest way out of that was to play anything, so I started improvising. Sometimes it was abstract, other times simple and tonal, but improvising was what changed the way I approached music. After that I was introduced to keyboards, midi and audio. I started playing in bands, and programming and recording music. I like to create different kinds of music. Any sound possible is part of music, and I prefer not to define it because like a great writer who I don't remember once said "Definitions are usually like a fisherman's net: too small to encompass Leviathan, but with a mesh too large to hold many of the denizens of the deep" so there is no reason to place anything in a category and leave it there. In the end you either like it or you wont. It doesn't matter what you call it. I prefer to just use adjectives like heavy, groovin, mellow, blistering, solid, calm, dense, elaborate, simple, supersonic, downtempo, or whatever it makes you feel.
I studied composition for 4 years at the SF Conservatory of Music and while I was there I wrote a lot of music for piano, cello and piano, wind quintet with marimba, voice and piano, percussion and piano, 2 electric guitars and piano, and more. At the same time I was also writing music and performing in bands with a sound as diverse as goth, experimental, punk, manchester, electronic, and progressive. I started picking up some of my band mate's electric guitars and eventually that made me decide to start seriously playing guitar as a second instrument. I also did sound fx and scores for short films with one film winning an award for composition in the SF International Film Festival.
