Megan McDuffee is a recording artist and composer for video games, trailers, and film. There wasn't a defining moment per say when she thought to herself, "I want to write music." It was just there from the beginning.
In 2006, she heard Film Composer Hans Zimmer speak at a composer's convention in Los Angeles. He basically said if you can do anything else, do it. The music industry is terribly difficult to break into, so if you have any penchant towards other fields, go for them instead. Only the people who absolutely cannot do anything else in life and be happy should compose music for film and video games. She can safely say that she is one of those people. She honestly would not be satisfied if she didn't pursue this challenging and rewarding career.
As an electronic recording artist, her style is synthwave/synthpop with heavy influences from the 1980's, retro-futurism, and cyberpunk aesthetics. Megan often co-writes and sings for other electronic producers, including Craig Connelly, Mitch Murder, ALEX, Moonrunner83, Stilz, and Fury Weekend.
She brings her creativity and extensive musical training to every project and is driven to produce music of the highest caliber.

I don't know what it is, but in DWTD's discography this record really stands out to me. Picking a favourite track is difficult because all of the songs sound incredible to me, but POISON is probably the most fresh and energetic song in my opinion. zWarhead

This EP is superb. I did not expect the closing track to sound the way it does. Such an atmospheric and emotional sound, it really turns the rest of the EP up to eleven. zWarhead
