Peiderezek first heard music in mid-1999; specifically, he heard the song [xyz] of the Baphian rock band Jowemu Kyezupe. Peiderezek described his experience in his biography ''Blackstar'': <blockquote>It was an ethereal experience, first listening to music. It still remains vivid in my mind, more vivid than anything. It was eleven in the morning, I had woken up hours earlier, and she [yamahati mother] had finished helping me take a bath. I suddenly heard muted, aggressive noise coming from the living room. Me, in the bathroom, flinched and almost broke down in tears; I was reminded of quarry noises. She was confused as to why I was breaking down in tears, but regardless comforted me — eventually, she asked me what the matter was, and I asked, through my tears, what the noise was. She frowned and looked at me. "It's music," she said. I had heard the word but never even knew what music was: I simply had never heard any music before, no singing or playing of any kind. Slowly, I dressed and made my way to the living room of the house, where I sat down on the couch next to [yamahati]. He was watching a music video of the band Jowemu Kyezupe. I had never even conceptualized anything like them. I leaned into him as I listened, perplexed. "I want to listen to music for the rest of my life", I decided then. </blockquote>Peiderezek began to obsessively listen to music, so much so that [yamahati mother] and staged an intervention, where in [yamahati mother] asked Peiderezek why he was "so obssesed with it [music]"; Peiderezek responded, "it fascinates me". He began to curate his tastes in music primary towards electronic music, mostly post-disco and dance-pop, and alternative rock. As he listened to music, he became inspired to create his own music, though was hampered by the lack of musical training. As such, practically as soon as he became literate in Baphian, he learned how to read music, learned to play the piano, and began receiving vocal lessons from [yamahati mother]. At the same time, Peiderezek discovered the internet, interacting on music-centered forums. Peiderezek became known as a frequent user of the Baphian music forum Soyandoje''.'' | Peiderezek first heard music in mid-1999; specifically, he heard the song [xyz] of the Baphian rock band Jowemu Kyezupe.

Soon after Peiderezek began to create music, he began to hone his songwriting skills. In November of 2000, Peiderezek discovered R&B, and was immediately inspired. On the 29th of November 2000, posted a video on Soyandoje entitled "Tage". The video featured the song "Tage", which Peiderezek had wrote between the 2nd and 3rd of December 2000. "Tage" was recorded by Peiderezek in one take on [yamahati]'s personal camcorder, with the on the floor below the piano, the camera pointed at the wall, only showing Peiderezek's legs and tail. The instrumentation of the version of "Tage" posted on Soyandoje only featured his voice and [yamahati mother]'s upright piano. Despite the poor quality of the recording, the video blew up on Soyandoje and was quickly reposted to various other music forums and social media sites. On the 1st of December 2000, [[Jezang Dsim]], a Baphian kaneed and a marketing executive at [[Inforadio Srn]], clicked on the "Tage" video on accident whilst browsing Soyandoje. Impressed, he tracked Peiderezek down to his [xyz] home and converesed with him and [yamahati mother], and convinced her to let him take Peiderezek to Turku to re-record "Tage" at Dekyenu Studios in Turku. [Yamahati mother] initially felt reluctant, due to Peiderezek's trauma, technical legal status of being enslaved still, and Peiderezek being a kali, but after several minutes, she and Peiderezek agreed to record "Tage". On the 6th of December 2000, Peiderezek's 18th birthday, Peiderezek, [yamahati], [yamahati mother], and Jezang Dsim travelled to Ëndaija, and then flew from there to Turku International Airport, arriving early in the morning of the 7th. | Soon after Peiderezek began to create music, he began to hone his songwriting skills.
