this bio (below) is so old, it's embarassing. i will write something new when it's appropriate (like before my next album comes out, whenever that is). i guess not that much has changed since i wrote it, 'cept for three grammies and a brit award. peace out.....
I'm a bit sick of looking at that stock-form bio (no offense, gabe), so i thought i'd just write something else.....
I was born in london, and then my mum (she's great, you would love her) moved us to new york when i was eight. before she moved though, her and my dad would throw tea-parties at their house in st. john's wood and i (3 or 4 yrs old at the time) would sit, eating crumpets & playing air-drums next to the stereo speakers. drums was my first instrument, i have since laid them to rest......
skip to nyc, I started a band in high-school (playing guitar) and i listened to alot of good music (not to be confused with g.o.o.d music--g'day 'Ye). then the brand new heavies came along and i found the funk aswell.....
i started dj'ing in '93 in downtown NY clubs, for whomever had five dollars. at some point, i got good and started to build a nice rep. around the same time, "urban music" (i borrowed that term from one of my college textbooks) got very fabulous, so alluvasuddden, it's like well-blinging. then, the fashion world decided hip-hop was zuper-cooo-el, so i milked that for a bit, dj'ing gucci parties in milan (where i got in a shouting match with charlize theron--i'm usually a very peaceful person, like jehovah's witness-peaceful) and a pair of puffy parties in paris (try and say those last seven words 10 times fast).....
then i hooked up with nikka costa (thanks dom), and me and her husband justin produced her criminally slept on debut album ("like a feather", respect game). that led to my debut album on elektra (rip), "here comes the fuzz"--which kind of bombed in the US, but gave me a nice top 10 around the world with "ooh wee" (top of the pops, thanks for the memories).......
hooked up with rich kleiman and started Allido Records, which will release chicago superstar Rhymefest's record this summer and australian wunderkind Daniel Merriweather next year. we're also putting out the soundtrack to "Half Nelson" (a really good movie with Ryan Gosling) and a series of rocking compilations for the Hard Rock.....
i still love dj'ing (and you can hear me most fridays on my east village radio show (hello Echo) but i'm mostly producing records right now. i have some of my best stuff yet coming later this year--robbie williams, lily allen, amy winehouse, christina aguilera, rhymefest, domino etc....
and, of course, my upcoming album "VERSION" featuring the radiohead cover (hello, alex greenwald--may i have a call back, please?) and many many more joints......Stay Tuned
Why is it so hard for me to say hello, You’ve hit my heart like an arrow, Give me your endless breath, So I could cheat death, I feel your heart beat in my chest.
I’m walking in your direction, All I feel is pain, Love is a losing game, Feels like I’m falling from the sky, I have no wings to fly, Why can’t you just be mine? Life is a one way mission, So I need your heart to listen,
Get to know me, You might get lonely, I could see through your eyes, Love is not guilty, Forget about going our separate ways, Love is a such crazy thing, You make me burn without the flame, Another unsolved mystery, Love is not guilty.

CAN YOU PLEASE COMMENT ABOUT THIS SONG AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK...
THE WORLD IS LYING TO YOU
Everything that I was told was a lie, I don’t want to live or die, I just don’t want to survive, Don’t you ever wonder what’s on the other side? I keep falling its like someone from above is calling,
Tonight I can’t sleep, I’m seeing the dead digging our graves, The governments been hiding the truth with there dirty news, I’m playing my position, Like I was told, The system is lying, How many times do we have to die? To see paradise, If this aint war, Why are we paying the price? Oil is still on the rise, Farmer’s aint getting the right money for BLACK GOLD, Starbucks is selling it for three pound fifty, Some ones getting rich and its not you and me,
If I’m not dead, Why do I feel out of breath? I feel the demons getting closer to my bed, The world is lying to you, So live for to day, Forget about tomorrow, We all gonna get buried in a empty grave, Sometimes I wish I was blind, The things I see is making me lose my mind, God gives us everything but then he takes them back, Like losing your love one, Where’s the justice in that.
Everyday I read an empty book, With empty pages, I believe what I wanna believe, I won’t let the T.V and the radio control me, I’ve got my ears to the streets, I get my news from the wind and the trees, That brings me peace.
