Ninoo

My real name is Antoni Duguay and I make music for fun. I mix and produce almost all my songs. I was born in 2003 in New Brunswick and I've been raised in a French-speaking Canadian city. I started producing on FL Studio around the age of 11 using the knowledge I already had from my piano lessons since I was 6. I started having OCD symptoms in 2019 when I was 15 and a couple months later got diagnosed with severe OCD. My grades used to always be very good at school but went to barely passing every class since the symptoms started even though I was staying after school for help and had a private teacher outside of school. It affected pretty much every aspect of my life, but I still managed to look somewhat normal to others since most of my OCD happened in my head. Became an expert at hiding it when I had to even though it was taking 90% of my time. Medication did help when I started having it but it really wasn't enough. During this whole time, producing has been the thing that felt the easiest for me even though I had to deal with OCD while doing it. Most of the time it was my reason to wake up since even though I would have liked to do other things, I just knew I could not have done them in my condition or even enjoy them if I did. The OCD would ruin the fun of most activities by making every step stressful and take way too long. So I ended up being good at what I could do and I'm glad it was something I already liked. In 2024, progress has finally started to slowly happen.
