Hello everyone,

It is my dream to become a producer in the electronic music industry. To create my own professional music, perform, travel the world, ect. It may seem like a cliched dream (probably is), however, I am really keen on pursuing this dream and achieving my goal. However, I don't know where to start, what to expect, and where to learn. What should I do based on my situation?

I am a 16 year old in Canada. There isn't any electronic music scene (Trance, Drum & Bass, House, etc.) where I live, Only Pop, Rock, and Hip-Hop. The only place to go to is the internet. Over the internet I have learned the basics of any DAW (except trackers), the basics of most genres of music, and the basics of DJing. Now I sit here on my computer with 7 Computer Music magazines, 3 small pieces of gear (25 key MIDI keyboard, Hercules dj console Rmx, and Sennheiser HD 280 pro's), and the internet.

I only have 1 year until High-School is finished and I'll have to go to University somewhere or in the workforce. I have no idea what to do to achieve my goal, what to expect in the music industry, how much work is needed, and where to start. I have browsed through this forum and I noticed there are many experienced and professional people here. Could you please point me in the correct direction?

All help is very appreciated,
