My reason for wanting to build a career in the music industry is to bring joy to audiences.

Music has played a big part in my life. It helps with all my emotions related to my autism and gives me drive and purpose to reach my full potential. I would love to be able to create music that unites everyone and also gives them serenity.

One particular avenue which allows people to escape reality is through video games, therefore I have a particular interest in creating foley and music for video games. Specifically Rockstar North in Edinburgh as it has created some of my favourite video games franchises such as Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, Bully and Max Payne etc.

I've produced 47 tracks which are a combination of original tracks and remixes and have published these, under my pseudonym 'Decan Usmic', on various streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, SoundCloud and YouTube. I have appeared on the Nine Show when I was interviewed by Fiona Stalker regarding a song I had recorded with Horse McDonald who is the ambassador for Nordoff Robbins in Scotland.

My name is Jack Tidy although, creatively, I'm known as Decan Usmic. This is an anagram of Dance Music which reflects my preferred music genre.

I started creating music back in 2018 by using FL Studio as my first ever DAW. Additionally I have been playing keyboard from a young age and my musical inspirations are Alan Walker, Porter Robinson, Clean Bandit, ILLENIUM, Melanie Martinez and San Holo. I enjoy listening to a diverse range of music such as The Beatles, ELO, Keane, David Bowie, Kate Bush Queen etc.

I attended Forth Valley College where I obtained an SQA NC Level 6 in Sound Production. However, as this was during the COVID-19 pandemic it resulted in a reduced hands-on experience. I therefore decided to redo the SQA NC Level 6 in Sound Production at Edinburgh College (Milton Road) to experience more practical elements of the course.

I also attended the Academy of Music and Sound in Edinburgh where I studied advanced sound production.

I also worked as a volunteer radio presenter for SAM (Scottish Autistic Media) radio station.
