There’s a reason musician Butch Serianni refers to himself as @oddkidout. “I always felt like people didn’t understand me, nor did they understand that I wanted to do something different,” says the 20-year-old Drexel University sophomore and co-host of FACT Magazine’s #FACTInstaBeats series. No matter. Being on his own just allowed him to build up his skills, first on the drums, and then in electronic production. The chronology makes more sense when you check out his videos, where he can be seen gliding across a Native Instruments system, tapping out a beat in real time. “The format I used to learn drums, I took that concept and transferred it.”
