"Pony Music is a Swiss musician who joined the herd in October 2012. He dedicates all his musical productions towards the fandom and tries to be supporting for his fellow Bronies whenever he can. EDM is what he enjoys to do the most, mainly Dubstep, Chillstep and DnB. One of his resolutions is never to stop experimenting with styles and to try to have a collection of varying songs. "

"Jacob Pritchett is a brony vocalist and musician. Perhaps more well known for his software development (he single-handedly developed the BronyNet social networking site and the BronyTunes app and music service), he's recently begun to try his hand at recording vocal covers of songs from the brony fandom. Before his vocal covers, though, he made several pitch-corrected versions of songs featured in MLP: FiM, which are available on BronyTunes and YouTube."

"What makes me unique from other brony musicians out there, is that I mainly create my own my music. I don't remix other people's creations. Daniel Ingram is one thing, but anything else other than that just pains me because the music is not true to the artist who remixes it. It's not their melody. I create my own melodies out of pure inspiration from a number of electronic music artists in Europe. Therefore, I create the music genre over there known as hardstyle. I love this music, and it's the primary reason why I am even in this fandom, the fact that I can make hardstyle."

Notable Tracks:The Waltz of Nova

Ruiness

Bandcamp

Location: Seattle, Washington
Age: N/A

"One day, a unicorn singer/songwriter and a gryphon who knew her way around electronic music decided to combine forces, and Ruiness was born! Ruiness is a meeting of styles and can be hard to categorize...Rainy Mood is all "blah blah pony feelings" and Astrid the Gryphon is all like "beep boop beep boop" and also there's some saxophone and guitar involved...and the resulting stew is Ruiness."

Notable track: "Breathless (Song For Spike)"

"I started making music when I was 15 years old with FL Studio. I joined the fandom one year later and then I realized that the music community was pretty cool. I make mostly Hardstyle and Hardcore, but I always try to make other styles too. I'm not a pro, I'm still a noob but I try to have fun making music because that's the joy of being a producer, don't you think? I'm really slow at making tracks but I try my best to make them sound cool and melodic."

"I've been listening to electronic music ever since I can remember. When I was a kid nabbed every DDR game I could get my hands on (no internet at the time, so it was my only source of music.). Fast-forward to 2009 when I learned about things like FL and Abelton. Naturally, when I learned of music making software, I jumped at the chance to start producing. In these 4 years, I've never really developed a "style". I love to experiment with every genre under the sun; drum and bass, techno, hip-hop, ambient, etc. I've always only considered it a hobby, but thanks to making soundtracks for futzi01 (that guy who makes all the pone flash games you like), I've taken up interest in doing game music."
