History

"Just add water!"

InstantSonic became a member of the Sonic community in 1998, frequenting Sonic Fan Games HQ, and the now-defunct SegaSonic Network, but only lurking at the time. He made his own short fan games through the means of Klik and Play. Around this same time, he learned of Sonic Robo Blast 2, and it wasn't until 2001 that he joined the team responsible for creating Sonic Robo Blast 2, Sonic Team Junior, and became an active member of the Sonic community.

InstantSonic then started to pick up on voice acting. He did not have the proper audio equipment at the time, and used headphones and Music 2000 aka MTV Music Generator to record and put together his acting sessions. In 2003, he acquired more professional means of recording, and in the same year, met his now-fiancée Katzu Niku through his small Sonic-related voice acting website. In 2005, Katzu Niku and InstantSonic moved in with each other, eventually getting engaged in December of 2010. They both combined their talents and organized Sonic Amateur Games Expo 14 (2009) and 15 (2010), which are widely revered as the most successful incarnations of the event to date. As of 2011, InstantSonic now runs the fangaming section of Sonic Retro.
