Aaron was born in Glasgow in February 1978. He then moved to his Mothers' birth place, London, before moving back to Scotland at the age of five where he was raised in a small village in Ayshire called Muirkirk. At the age of seventeen, Aaron visited a local bar with his parents (Linda and Billy) to attend a Karaoke night. This is where he and others realised he had hidden talents. He sang for the first time in public, a rendition of "End Of The World" , a song he remembered as being his late Auntie Anne's favourite. It was when the song had finished he received a huge appreciation from his audience and noticed a few people with tears in their eys. This gave him his first taste of the lime light and he liked it! At the age of eighteen, he moved to Hereford in search of work, oh, and as many Karaoke's as he could find. His stay in Hereford saw him advance from Karaoke to form a two piece band called "Tonic" with his best friend Graham. He then joined a number of different bands including "Pacific" and "Breeze". Finding that he couldn't settle to a band environment for various reasons, now, at the age of twenty five, he has decided to go solo.
Aaron recently took part in the National Finals of thr Smirnoff Sing-Off competition and beat off over 3000 entries to secure his title of Sing_Off Champion 2004. Aaron entered the competition in his local Litten Tree pub in January. After winning the House Heat he went on to represent Herefordshire up against eight other regions across England on 29th February. A combination of talent and support saw him cruise through the regionals earning him a place in the National Finals in Birmingham, where he went up against the best of the best from all over the UK. He sang Everlasting Love, Hot Fudge and Come Undone. Aaron won a cash prize and is now heading to London to record an album, then he is off to Ascot to record a video for one of his songs. Since the competition Aaron has already taken bookings in his home town in Ayrshire, Scotland and all over England and even a few gigs in Europe. Aaron and his team would like to thank everyone who supported him through this competition.
They Came From The Stars I Saw Them www. myspace. com/theycamefromthestarsisawthem “One of the highlights of my year, without a doubt. Visionaries follow their muse regardless of the world around them and that couldn't be more true of they came from the stars I saw them... Numbering as many as 30 in the past, they've now trimmed down to a more manageable four-piece, but their music is still as astonishingly catchy as ever, somehow combining krautrock, space rock, free jazz, soul and funk into a pure pop concoction... with brilliant titles and wonderful, hypnotic singalong tunes.... ahead of their time... John Kennedy on XFM and in Dazed Confused
White Man Kamikaze www. myspace. com/kamikazearmy “They got the voice of the Pistols and the sound of the Clash. It’s a dream combo and to hear is to believe!” Who’s Jack
Shimmy Rivers And And Canal http://www. myspace. com/shimmyriversandandcanal “Most likely to be mistaken for some kind of typo, Shimmy Rivers and and Canal have a bi-weekly show on Resonance FM and a great retro website. Can one band really sound like Nick Cave singing in the B52s?” Drowned in Sound

Well that time of year is upon us, the season is about to kick off in Ibiza and this year I will be gracing the island with my presence =0)
To say cheerio to the UK I am throwing a free party in my home town of Hereford on Saturday 28th April @ Watercress Harrys in the centre of town.
Entry is free and we will be rocking out from about 8-very very late.
I will be playing an exclusive ableton live set and will be supported by my Funkin Dirtbox partners in crime DJ Kris (Kanya, Ibiza) and local afro sporting homeboy Dr Jim Dangerous from Fruitful and Level one notoriety. The vibe will vary from some funked up sounds thru to some retro, tech and electro and I will also be scratching it up like a pitbull in a flea colony!
