DJ Awesome Extreme Techno was born in Wichita, Kansas. He started listening to electronic music when he was 5 years old, acquiring unreleased records from his underground circle of dj's as he started a movement in Kansas. At the age of 9 he played his first gig in Ibiza, 4 hours into the set he collapsed from an overdose on cocaine. After a 3 year hiatus and completing his MCAS tests he came back into the electro-househop-breakno movement and played at the mainstage of DEMF. He started producing 1 week later and topped the beatport charts with his remix of Sanjay Gupta's "I Am No Witch-doctor"

People talk in 3rd person to make themselves seem more professional. i did it because I think saying

Helloooooo im ______ i made music cause i love it an here is my massive choons.

isn't putting yourself in a pro light. My myspace bio is exactly what your talking about. Its because if a label or company or fan goes onto the space they are visiting an artist, not you (almost like you are a company or a product) So sayin "Richard wilson is a dance producer from the UK" is like presenting yourself to them.

Same way I start a resume with "A determined and creative individual with a drive to succeed"

instead of

"My names richard and i think im creative and i do seek to succeed in life"

Whereas if my myspace was a personal one for example if I didnt intend to make a career out of some form of music and just to show mates etc i might say "hiya richard here just thought id make a space for my songs hope ya like"

Its all about the 3rd person I was a recruitment consultant for years and i would rewrite cv's from people into the 3rd person to show clients of mine. If your myspace also is in 3rd perosn maybe you didnt write it? a layperson may think its the label?

I like it anyway, but im seeing it as a career not a hobby and often direct labels,companies,teachers etc to my myspace.

BTW im not saying my myspace is anygood i havent even been on until 2 seconds ago for months!

Also myspace is not as good at promoting yourself as Facebook+soundclud is. That said I have got signed from myspace so I do have a softspot for it.

Processing a highly structured and complex pattern of sensory input as a unified percept of "music" is probably one of the most elaborate features of the human brain.....understanding how music is perceived and how it may elicit intense sensations is far from being understood.

I don't think there is a problem with writing in the 3rd person per se, but if it is badly written it becomes obvious that the producer did it himself and not a 3rd party, at that point it starts to look a little silly and pretentious IMO. This is especially true if it's full of bullshit boasts about being the next big thing....
