Bio
Starting off around 11 years old I first learnt "old macdonald" on guitar....followed by "smells like teen spirit"....followed by slash's lead guitar on "sweet child o' mine". From there I was hooked on music and for almost ten years now i've been experimenting and self teaching the world of music. Keyboard/piano lessons started in high school as well as drums, even african drumming. By 12/13 years old I completed my first dance track using playstation's "MTV Music Generator 2", it was a real hit with my mum! However, this was not enough so I started to get instruments to learn and play at home and focused more on writing my own things than learning others. Up til now i've created hundreds of riffs, melodies and motiffs that I probably should have kept- but without any way to record them many were lost. In 2005 - after leaving school - I got a job and started saving to upgrade instruments and to get recording equipment. Life threw me off track for a couple of years until 2008 when I found fresh interest and began saving and buying recording equipment- I think I made the right choice on going with computer recording although I love using multitracks. My plan now is to record and produce a showcase album featuring all the genres I can write and bring the music to you. Drum & Bass, Indie, RnB, Rock, Dubstep, Experimental, Dance, Reggae....pop? :) I'm a jack of all things musical but a master of nothing, if I were ever going to make it anywhere in the industry I would need to be taught DJing, Producing, Mastering, All instruments and music theory. The only thing keeping me going is my imagination and my strange ability to "Know how a track should sound if it was a hit on Radio 1"- something like that. I will now let the music speak for itself and you can judge whether you like or dislike. But where does this all take place?....My living room, Bristol :)
