How It All Started: Fairlane Talks Upbringing and Emergence Into the Electronic Music Scene
Canadian electronic producer Fairlane has been musical for most of his life. At a very young age, his parents had him enrolled in piano classes, where he first got a taste of music and performing. Unfortunately, it was a bitter memory, as Fairlane recalls making a minor mistake during a piano recital when he was 10 years old. “I vowed to never perform music again,” he tells EDM.com.

However, there was one small problem: he did not know how to read sheet music. “I’ve always learned everything by ear,” he explained. “I had the same problem with piano.
