"Now when Jesus stepped ashore, there met him a certain man who for a long time was possessed by a devil....Many times it had laid hold of him and he was bound with chains....but he would break the bonds asunder....And Jesus asked him, saying, "What is thy name?"
And he said Legion...."
Luke 8:27-30.
JOHN THE RAPTIST: A BRIEF HISTORY.
I do not wish to bore any readers / friends with tedious details of my career in the music business only to say that I have been practising the art of an MC since the beginning of 1993 to the present day.
Starting out as a member of local Hip Hop outfit Force 10 I learned to ply my trade, gaining valuble studio / gig experience during my stay, before making the bold decision to embark on a solo career in 1997.
There have been many trials and tribulations along the way, perhaps the highlight coming in late 1999 when I signed a contract with London based company Ruffworld only for events to take a downward turn before proceedings had ever really gotten off the ground or any of my recordings had been released.
Thankfully I have never lost my appetite for the never ending struggle to gain a foothold and a modicum of success and so now I finally arrive on MySpace.
On the subject of the lyrics, I write them and perform them.
And on the subject of the music, I write, produce, engineer and direct it.
I have a saying "If you can't do it yourself....Why fucking bother?".
Anyway on a different note, don't be shy and make John your friend / fiend.
Yours SINcerely JTR.
