Aiden819

Aiden (born: )https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aLHzVf7_rE better known online as Aiden819 (abbreviated to A819) is an American YouTuber whos known for his Animations and music.
== Appearance ==
Aiden819/A819’s appearance usually has him wearing a navy blue, or darkish bluish hoodie (Specifically the one he has in-person, which would be a 'Hanes Hooded Sweatshirt Hoodie - Navy Blue.') Aiden also has black, wavy/curly long wolf-cut styled hair, a pair of glasses, in between neutral/olive-like skin or basically just plain white for his OC, alongside a pair of black jeans. 
Despite actually having a short mustache/miniscule facial hair in his actual look, it doesn't feel like it would be necessary to him to add detail to that of his drawn character officially, since he prefers 'less would appear better.'
== History with Starting out/Animation ==
Aiden always loved film and animation since he was barely a toddler, as well as TV cartoons/internet ones, interpreting it as hypnotic and yet so inspiring in it's own way. He always wanted to be a part of a video-making, film, or animation industry as a personal goal for himself, a goal for television too even, some day.
The first ever experience Aiden had ever done animation digitally in his life, was through an ABCYa website, the game was titled ‘Animation.’ He discovered this during Computer Lab in 2nd grade.
Aiden originally used to make tons of paper comic-books and drawings from Early 2017 to March 2019 since he also loved to draw as a child. He would also have a close old-school friend of his by the name of Gavin who had similar humor to him, they would hang out everyday, every time. After graduating his IEP in 5th grade, Aiden was given a choice to have his very own Apple I-Pad as a reward from his mother, he took it in (March or April??) 2019, and basically had quit drawing paper-comics.
He used it from April 2019 - March 2021 since he had gotten a new one during Christmas, 2020. He gave his old I-Pad away to another artist/animator in a way, they were a tattoo artist by the name of Toby, a friend of Aiden’s mother.
This was when he discovered FlipaClip, from that point he was already focused on what he enjoyed most, animation, he had his very own small channel at the time for these projects he did.
These video lengths would vary from up to 1 minute to 7, 8, 15, or even 17 minutes.. Usually producing animated shorts, skits, holiday specials, and even episodes for his own personal series.
During the remainder of the year for 2019, he never deemed it stressful or considered it painfully time consuming, in fact, he enjoyed it at the time, he would finish these around a few weeks to a month. His determination to continue this would grow rapidly.
Later on, when the pandemic & quarantine had hit in early 2020, he got used to using the internet overtime, slowly migrating to a smaller online community, starting off in Roblox where he would easily find smaller groups/people there instead, mostly on any game he preferred. Some of which would doodle with him on ‘Free Draw’ and whatnot from time to time, around July 2020 to December 2021 he kept this up.
During July 2020, he unsuspectingly met up with one animator/artist on Free Draw, who was actually CrownedX Wolf. Aiden really liked their animations they had made within their channel, and the amount of attention they had gotten for it, as well as their art-style. He was given a chance to gain some exposure by being shared to their fanbase, however, Aiden was overwhelmed and unsure about the idea of his smaller channel being shared, considering the massive amount of followers they had already. Aiden disregarded the opportunity to, and kept his small channel just as it was.
Eventually, in August 2020, his first ever experience in animating with Adobe Animate happened. He didn’t seem to enjoy it, nor knew how any of the basic tools worked, despite his success in exporting his first-ever test, he just stuck to FlipaClip instead from that point on.
Overtime, he continued to meet up with other Free Draw artists or generally just random people or friends that he found on Roblox.
Later, Aiden would soon create a Discord account in late 2020, actually getting a chance to speak with the people that he met on Roblox through there instead, or even just anyone else that he interacted with, while easily being able to share his FlipaClip animations/videos there too.
Throughout time, things were easy-going here and there for Aiden and his friend groups online. Though some issues might’ve taken place time and time again, it was still smooth-sailing from there.
Around June 2021, he would find himself meeting the FNF Developer, Frimple Schnips on Free Draw. Aiden would animate a short cutscene for a previous mod idea of his, involving the classic animated internet series, “Hellbenders.”
Because of Frimple, Aiden would discover Wick Editor and use it more often, alongside FlipaClip.
Things slowly got more difficult for Aiden and his two major friend groups around November 2021 - January 2022, they would slowly disintegrate and drop him, one group of two people online would slander him, and abuse him online during the week of 2021 coming to an end, while one friend tried to back him up. Alongside this, he was dealing with harassment, being cyberbullied/stalked, and impersonated, this would leave Aiden in a traumatic, miserable and fearsome state.
Aiden would close/hide his small channel on December 29th, 2021 (with only around 50 or so subscribers) Due to fears of him being found out or seen by his stalker. Aiden would abandon his accounts on other platforms he used previously.
January, 2022, this time would change Aiden’s life ultimately online. He created his new channel/identity, which only went by the name ‘Aiden’ but it was then modified to ‘Aiden819.’ 
Aiden would eventually install and practice using Flash Professional CS6 after-school on his own, he learned how to use it by watching Oneys old Flash tutorials. It was a huge help for Aiden to understand the basics.
Aiden started his channel and uploaded his first video (which was a lip sync test that he made through his phone) on January 14, 2022. 
Aiden would make a new Discord account in February 8th, 2022, alongside with this and his new YouTube channel, he would continue to meet/see animators that were to his interest over the years, the list includes; Anna-Mates, Maxterel, Tristone the Person, Lauty Stuff, Crubbles, Derpy0069, KingCrankyKid, Bananaman, NeoTgl, L0LK, ZacMB, Boomy, Robo Plank, Wise Animations, Pundone, Niffum, Megacharlie, ELIMAKESSTUFF, Saltycow, Samwell, Kaidenguy, Tuffz, Beanster, Ivan, Chinzverse, Brombo, Raca, Meffols, Fooffle, Etc... https://www.youtube.com/@Aiden819/featured# (Check all channels featured).
When his Flash professional free trial ended, he switched to Adobe Animate CC, Aiden would soon hate Animate 2022 and switched again to the 2018 version of Adobe Animate. 
(However, the consistency of the animation software's that Aiden uses is undetermined; he would switch to things like Adobe Animate, FlipaClip, Wick Editor sometimes, Adobe Flash Professional, and even ToonBoom Harmony…)
Aiden eventually got burned out and took a break on May 26th, 2022, due to his summer vacation, however, Aiden would come back within just 14 days later with a new animated parody/satirical video about a trend he found repetitive, 'SUPA! (BFB FAN ANIMATION).' He came back so quick, only because he was able to work on his videos/animations elsewhere, while being at his grandparents place to visit for 3 months. Aiden had basically come back to YouTube at that point, and soon made lots and lots of friends overtime. 
Aiden was a part of the America Collab that premiered on July 4th, 2022, which was hosted by NeoTGL. (His scene was first.)
Aiden came back home/returned from his vacation on August 8th, 2022, then continued to pursue his skills in animation and community buildup from that point on.
In October 14th, 2022, Aiden went through a bad breakup and experienced lots of heartbreak and other emotions, he stated himself that he had gotten grounded right after November 1st, 2022, then came back on the 17th of December with a video titled 'Alone.'
However, during his disappearance in November 2022, he was developing a personal video (only with FlipaClip, I-Movie, and Capcut) he was doing as a Middle-school puppet-video-project, which was shown in an auditorium for everyone to see in his Drama Class. Later on he was given some cookies and a plastic little trophy for it as an award for getting the most votes, for being the 'best video presented.' Even though he was grounded to an extent and had the ability to come back anytime afterwards, he still broke away online for a brief moment, using FlipaClip most of the time on his Ipad, focusing on Middle-school, actually went bowling with his uncle, had some personal streams, and kind of enjoyed himself now and again, but still dwelled on his friends online most of the time.
At the very end of 2022, he was a part of a Christmas MAP (Multi-Animator Project) that Derpy0069 had hosted himself, and also completed on the night of December 31st. Aiden also premiered a ‘Farewell, 2022’ video as an end to the year that changed him most. They both premiered the night he was at another place, in a New Years party with his family.
(However, unfortunately during New Years too, there was another animation that he did which shows visuals upon it's negative and dark times for Aiden during late 2022, or throughout his time growing. Hence goes to show you, not everything was perfect for him throughout his new identity. Though he would overexaggerate his negativity at the time, it's not as bad as the mentality he deals with now in 2024.)
In February 2023 he got 500 subscribers. Aiden would join all kinds of MAPs overtime. 
In August and September 2023, two new episodes of two different internet animated series came out, which his work was within. (Disregards - by Pundone || 3 Idiots Become Pirates - Samwell.)
He has continued to make videos until he reached 1K subscribers. 
As of January 2024, Aiden had collaborated on/uploaded a video with Tuffz as a late holiday special, dating back to December 14th, 2023, when he told Tuffz that they should both animate for a short video. Aiden designed the audio on audacity, then put the images of his rough-draft ideas (he made at school) into a video, then showed Tuffz the video. Tuffz agreed, and Aiden developed the storyboard on Flash CS4 in a call with him. (While Aiden also did in-betweens/rough animation/effect composition on Animate 2018.) From there Tuffz and Aiden also helped with the cleanup, Tuffz changed most of the work in his style, and uploaded the finished video on his own channel in January 9th, 2024. (Tuffz also added an Easter-egg into the video with the tree ornaments with faces, Aiden left a random Easter egg of a guy watching one of the characters get punched through a window, and the disturbed snowman's expression in the beginning when the camera panned into the scene.)
He also won the Small animator awards for the smoothest animation in January 2024. (He made a video regarding this, due to some unfairness relating to the awards, but he had gotten a lot of backlash from another community involving it, therefore causing him to unlist it.) 
As of February 2024, Aiden made it in Twixx's final video for a MAP project that he completed in February 6th, 2024. Aiden is also animating for a MAP hosted by Fooffle, he originally joined the MAP during November 2023. 
Aiden is preparing his 100th video, with a sneak-peek of it being considered ‘a flashback to 2023.’ (However, the video in question is taking a lot longer than anticipated, and may not even happen either.. Possibly. He may even change it.) 
Aiden is currently working on a different video as of the middle of March, 2024, with it consisting to be up to 3 minutes and 50 seconds long. This video is targeted as an outlet for Aiden's current thoughts and situations upon other things as of the past few months, or, as he hopes, 'a sigh of relief.' 
During the night of April 24th, Aiden finished up his fan animation that he made for Nirvana and uploaded it on his Twitter and Newgrounds, dedicated towards Kurt Cobain in memory of his work. (Aiden was originally intending to complete it near April 5th - April 8th.) 
The next day, Newgrounds had removed the content (possibly due to Copyright.) So Aiden uploaded it on his YouTube Channel instead. Aiden is also now working on an animated section for Eli's new upcoming Tipy Adventures Short, and trying to use/figure out how to use a new software, to get used to its boundaries. (Tahoma2D) 
As of May 2024, Aiden is currently working on a 42 second animated video project in collaboration with the animator L0LK. Aiden is also busy with schoolwork around this time, and has also been trying to work on his part for Fooffles MAP since he is the last person to actually submit. 
As of May 26th, 2024, Aiden has already started summer break. He is also trying to finish up two major projects for different people, still striving to finish up his part for the 'Getting Over You MAP' by Fooffle, and a scene for Eli's upcoming 'Tipy Adventures' short. 
== History with Music ==
When it came to making music when Aiden was from 10 - 13 years of age, he only used GroovePad beats, it was nothing really special at all. 
 
Aiden soon discovered the Cardboard Box website for music-making, right after listening to a vivivivivi song. Later in 2022, he found out how to use GarageBand on his I-Pad and practiced making music on it as well.
Aiden started making music on his current YouTube in early 2022, by posting a few little demos and videos of his songs, he did this same thing with his older channel once before he had shut it down. On Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube, he even made music for an album he was associated withhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfYqWPp0OzClx4xcjFqbNQ4gwBMy4ry7D.
He usually just made and published his music on his bandcamp here and there throughout May 2022, left the account alone for awhile, then came back later on near late 2022.
In early 2022, Aiden had made a personal album for himself, drawing the album cover art on Procreate, then naming it 'My Beloved Harmony' which was also named after the song itself for it on YouTube. On his Bandcamp he posted the test songs of which he had done on Garageband into an entire album. This album has only 10 songs in total, he did this as inspiration from a cluster of other artists he listened and admired. On July 6th, 2023, after months of silence between the two, Aiden had made amends with a close individual he might've had relations with. During July 2023, the duo Aiden and Ethan developed their very own album to publish worldwide. 
The existence of Hashes happened when Aiden asked Ethan if he would rather do Animation, or Music, Ethan chose music and Aiden wanted to help him make it happen.
On July 20th, 2023, the album 'Hashes' was released, consisting of 21 songs, with a length of 40 minutes and 12 seconds in total. The album was entirely made with BeepBox, however, two songs (Hyperactivity & SPASM) were made with GarageBand, and woawsahs was made with Furnace.
The Album art for the original self-titled album, 'Hashes' has changed in March 2024 due to the new member joining in, Ethan had decided to change it. Ethan planned the roughly doodled image out, the new member (which we'll go by Jal) had drawn out the original sketch/colored digital image of it, and Aiden had done the bold line-art, shading, shading, and added some extra stars and changed the tint of the image a little bit.
(The old album cover artwork may return however, do to the departure of the extra band-member Jal.)
After some time between the two practicing new music programs like FL Studio for example, improving their music overall, developing a new, robotic, fictional character 'BeepBop' for their band to add more story, they finally succeeded in making their second album. On November 10th, 2023, the album 'Project Beepbop: Vol 1' was also released, containing the same amount of songs that the last album had. (21) The album is 45 minutes and 30 seconds long in length. The album was made with a mixture of music-developing software's; FL Studio, (Github) Cardboard Box, (Github) BeepBox, and GarageBand.
Original Album Cover Artist, 'VeaFlower' would usually procrastinate and take the longest time trying to finish up her work for the duos second album, this took weeks, this was so bad to the point where Aiden had to step in and finish the album art for her through the Krita file she had sent to him.
Due to the silence that the duo has had overtime, Aiden decided it would be best to release a single on December 30th, 2023, titled, 'STOP F***ING IGNORING ME, B****!' The song was made in spite of emotional buildup, rage, or negligence between him and a couple of other people 'close' to him.(The oddly drawn hand artwork came from a photo he took of a super old drawing he had drew when he was little, resembling a hand with red markings on it. He found it in a box of old things/drawings when he was unpacking for his room, he then asked Ethan to place a filter on it, he agreed, later on Aiden overlaid some text over the image and used it for this genuine single.)
Right now, Aiden has been making a few song tests here and there, and publishing most of his music to Newgrounds, since he had gotten logged out of his Bandcamp.
(Here are some examples of his songs);
As of January 2024, Aiden has thought of releasing a very, very special album to Hashes one day when he has the time to, eventually.
Currently, almost towards the end of February 2024, Aiden has had some considerations about quitting Hashes due to the lack of effort nor care for the band/each other. Aiden has also said there has been some issues between their duo, him and Ethan, that he would rather not discuss in detail.
At a time in the very beginning of March 2024, Aiden would decide to change the Spotify artist bio, giving a hint that he had left the band already. Immediately, Ethan had a backup member for the band (which the idea of having the same backup individual for Aiden went way even before Aiden and Ethan's decision upon their first start overall.) Soon, Aiden made a tweet against Hashes, which resulted in a little confusion here and there with his mutuals and followers, and a little bit of arguing. Aiden fully decided to stop the thread by blocking Ethan and the replacement member. Later on, Ethan apologized to Aiden for how he was acting towards him, and for some reason, Aiden would forgive him, not really expecting much of a change but only did it because he felt bad too.
Currently, Aiden isn't really sure if Hashes will have anything special planned, or even what to do with it, (and also still wondering if Ethan has really changed or is sorry either) while still considering about whether to move on or stay there until anything does happen. Ethan has had an idea of adding Robo Plank into the band, but the other member said she doesn't know much about him, which could result in an awkward feel. Aiden is kind of lost with band/music decisions currently, stuck most of all... So he's probably just gonna stick to making music independently for the most part, or whenever he is told to by anyone else, or Hashes.
From around March and May 2024, Aiden, Ethan, and two other band members for Hashes (one of them being Robo Plank, apparently) have decided on releasing an upcoming album later on by the name of, 'Vertigo.' 'Name originally brought up by Aiden because it had an interesting sound to its name and a slightly scary/odd definition. 
Aiden thought of Vertigo because he remembered going to the hospital for a recent appointment in April 2024, facing the window on the 2nd floor of a building with his mom, she had mentioned something about the feeling/sensation about falling off when facing a high view right beside him, that being, 'Vertigo.'
As of May 2024, Aiden has used a little bit of his Soundcloud account, uploaded one song, and mainly checked out, favorited, and reposted some of Aphex Twins music there.
Apparently, around May 23rd, Ethan kicked Jal out of the Hashes team, so now it's just Ethan, Robo, and Aiden within it.
