Ameon

Michael 'Ameon' Sena began pursuing music back in 2008. Since then, purchases of keyboards, synths, programs, cables, microphones and a whole lot else has helped him develop skills and talents in the area of creating great dance music. The origin of his name? His computer pseudonym has always been meo, and his strong Christian faith is the backbone of not only his life, but also his music. What better way to combine the two then in the equation meo + amen = ameon?
