My influences are vast and various. I grew up on a staple diet of classic bands such as The Beatles, The Who, Led Zepplin, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Pink floyd and Genesis.
Lots of my influences come from the 80's & 90's from such artists as New Order, The Smiths, Blondie, The Jam, The Stone Roses, The Verve, Oasis, Radiohead, Ocean Colour Scene and the Manic Street Preachers.
Among the more obvious, my music also has some roots in classical and folk, namely Vivaldi, Mike Oldfield and Clannad.
I am a big fan of modern artists such as Kasabian, The Music, Reverend and the Makers and Arctic monkeys. I also enjoy and am influenced by dance music, finding alot of inspiration for melodies and drum beats. My most inspirational dance artists are The Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy, Groove amada, The Shamen and Utah Saints.
I admire others who put time into their music and am a big fan of subtleties and changing dynamics.
Finally I would like to cite my influence to all those people who are being themselves and not trying to be something they're not. If you have read this far, I thank you greatly : )

What Others Have to Say:
Electricity is awesome! Nice modern vocals, with an almost retro-esque instrumentation feel. Kinda bluesy and kinda classic rocky, but staying fairly upbeat modern pop rock. Love it! " (MatchBox Radio)
"A new face on the Hull acoustic scene, who is already making a big impression after only a few gigs" (Music H.Q.)
"Great voice, great guitar playing. Would look at home on any stage" (Katie Knass - Hull Daily Mail)
Im 24 Years old and am a singer/songwriter currently living in Kingston-Upon-Hull. I am busy performing my own material and cover material across Yorkshire, Lancashire & Lincolnshire. If you are interested in booking me to play at your venue or would like a free demo CD, please contact me at: alex_stork@hotmail.co.uk
I first picked up the guitar when I was 16 and soon started to have a crack at singing along and writing my own material. I continued to write and also started playing drums when I was 20.
I have co-written and enjoyed playing music with lots of people, namely ’The Quays’ for who I play drums and backing vocals.
I have now embarked on this solo project, through a desire to record and perform my music. I am trying to create a universal sound to cross different styles of music as I am a big fan of various genres (see influences). Musically, I’d try anything once and am forever open to new ideas and techniques.
