Hi Folks!
My name is Alex Wayt and I'm a singer/songwriter from Glasgow, Scotland. I started writing songs from when I was around 16-17, but didn't start taking it seriously until people started telling me that they really liked my songs and that I should keep going at it.
So, that was when I realised that I was actually good at something else (apart from drawing) and so quit playing the drums and focused on more of a solo career.
I wrote and played at shows myself for a few years while trying to form a band together. I even tried joining other bands in the hope of maybe performing my own songs that way, but things never really worked out and I eventually took it as a sign that I should just do it all myself.
But I realised how much I wanted to take this seriously and if I was gonna make any kind of imapct, I would need a band to inhance my sound live. So, no matter how much I got knocked down, I was determined to let the hunt go on until I found the write people. And I did.
So far, through out my life as a musician, I have been lucky to play with some of the most amazing musicians and nicest people I've ever met and that includes, Alan Jones, Roddy Grey, Rob Wilkie, Lisa Evans, Shona Fraser, Ailsa Aiken, Meg and Kate from The Midden, Lizzy Wilson, Sam Gallager, Neil McDougle, Rosie Bans, Steve Scott and a few other folks. Also, some of the people that have sang along with me when busking or at open mic nights, lol!
I've seen and done some amazing things so far, being a musician and music has done so much for me, that it is become a huge part of who I am. I can honestly say that music is my life and it is the one thing that I am truely in love with. So, who knows what lies in the future for me and my music. I guess I'll know when I get there.
Thanks for reading,
Enjoy!
Alex ;)
Hello all, this will be our final release of 2009, and a great way to end the year... Pinklogik asked 10 artists and friends to remix her entire "Learning To Trust Higher Frequencies" album and what an eclectic and stunningly produced work this is. Each track has its own feel, thanks to the diverse range of artists involved in the project. A shimmering journey through ambient colours, broken beats, sweet melodies, a little bit of quantum physics, and is one hell of a trip....

[S27-030] MIN-Y-LLAN : Dark Days (Downtempo, Ambient)
We are fast approaching the last days of 2009, so what better way to celebrate than this release from Welshman "Min-Y-Llan" who offers us this collection of atmospheric ambient pieces, the melodies within are dark and cavernous, being the perfect listening for the walk home on a frozen winters evening. Each track has a very melancholic feel as if looking towards a future that isn't as bright as we hope for, but nevertheless are powerless to escape. Free download!
