I recorded a few albums by age 21, self-produced in my studio. Distribution was very limited, mostly among friends.
I also mentored a young woman who became fascinated by the ambient music I'd introduced her to. I set her up with CE2k (that was Audition before Adobe bought it), and taught her how to mix down tracks and in no time she produced some wonderful ethereal choral ambient material. When I last checked in on her she has made quite a name for herself in the music scene after she moved down south as a vocalist and guitarist. I'm glad to see she's using her talent.
Every now and again I consider composing leftfield ambient music. I would have a lot of fun transforming found sounds and abstract field recordings into longform compositions. But there's seriously enough of that in the world.

What was the woman's name if I might ask?
And nothing wrong with producing music for yourself either man, even if it's not original it can still be used for personal reasons and gain.
