I'm pretty sure no one cares but I'll be changing my username to Santi or maybe santimo since I'm already done with the pseudonym Elias.
I originally decided to use Elias (how my mother wanted to name me) Alija (her surname) for building my freelance journey doing music for media. So basically I wanted to keep my original name clean in case I went for a full academic path since people in the academy tend to be elitists and often look down on film/game composers. I fell on that trap.
This all lead to me feeling weird about my music, I felt it wasn't really mine but from an alter ego that just made music to profit. Fast forward to the present, now I feel more encouraged to just follow my own path.
That's it! Have a good one ;)
