Erik "Jit" Scheele is a Composition major in Ontario. He grew up taking piano lessons, after he was discovered teaching himself from listening to his mother and going through his older sister's books. Working with the music team with Homestuck has been his first foray into producing music on a computer, rather than writing it on sheet music. His major influences are probably the video games, musical theater, and classical music he grew up with. He doesn't really have any major figures he can think of, though.
