I had this message sitting in my youtube inbox. Even if it is or isn't him, I was pretty excited.

Hello! Despite the fact that I do not usually partake in behaviors considered norm in the YouTube community(rating, commenting etc.) I see this is the easiest method of contacting you, so I proceed.
Allow me to properly introduce myself, even though I have a strong feeling that you are already aware of who is speaking with you. I'm a composer(much like you) for the game developing company Rareware. Yes, Banjo Kazooie and Perfect dark and such. I take great pride in my compositions and am very aware of the fan base I may have unwillingly concocted.
But; I digress, as I am not trying to rant. It has come to my attention that minors of the generation are more and more musically fascinated than was normal when I was a child. I am very happy about this, and like to believe that I, and countless other composers, have contributed to this growing interest in music. There are now numerous programs for composing pieces, such as; FL Studio, Anvil Studio, and by far the most famous here on YouTube, Mario Paint Composer.
While this program does not usually involve original compositions and may be perceived as theft, it still takes a great deal of skill. I understand that you, young Banjario, are a fan of my musical works and an exceptionally talented Mario Paint Composer. So, I hope you are proud of the fact that I took ever-precious time in life simply to tell you that I am honored to have you as a fan!
I hope that this message may inspire you to some day precede me, and best my works. That some day, maybe it will be YOU in the studio composing music for Rare. Hell, you could end up composing for Banjo 5, or God knows what! That is how much faith I have in you.
I am writing this message not only to boost your confidence, but too express my actual feelings about your potential. If you were on the edge of your seat waiting for a message like this, congratulations. I wish you a bright future.
