   About McGazz

McGazz is a Scottish-born singer, songwriter and electronic music composer, originally from Paisley, near Glasgow, in Scotland, but now based in Liverpool, England.

Since his first attempts at recording "bangin'" rave tunes in a local studio, aged 15, McGazz has dabbled with electronic music. He spent his student loan on a four-track and a sampler (later thrown in the bin, in a bizarre nervous breakdown incident). Since 2003, he has been recording regularly on a PC and putting the results online for free, in the vain hope that people download them.

Influences? No conscious ones. In 2004, he coined his own term, "BBC Hip Hop" to describe the music he was making. As no one else knows what he's on about, we can hardly argue.

From 1997 to 2004, McGazz organised gigs and records in Glasgow, as well as being the singer in obscure Glaswegian alternative pop band My Legendary Girlfriend, who gigged around the UK, put out several CDs, and once reached the dizzy heights of supporting The Fall and John Cooper Clarke at Glasgow's Renfrew Ferry.

Hello, just passing thru to say that voting has now closed in the Kidz on Fire Worlds Most Hip Hop Breakfast Cereal poll. Competition between cereals has been fierce throughout although the real stars really shone through by the second bowl...



The results are as follows;


In 3rd place came Lucky Charms for all of you that can remember that far back...


Second place went to Coco Pops giving the only serious competition to our eventual prize winner... Plenty of chocolaty goodness :-)


In first place, voted as the worlds most hip hop breakfast cereal, came Crunchy Nut Cornflakes! :-D This cereal works hard to entertain us with some phat flavours 24/7. Hats off to the dedicated support team at Kellogs, without them it would have never been possible.


Thanks to you also for your participation in the blog and the poll. :-)


Here is a photo of Kidz on Fire enjoying a McDonalds breakfast before the awards ceremony.





Have a great weekend!

Greetings McGazz,
As you are one of myfriends I have taken the diabolical liberty of thinking you might also be interested in the most excellent new Mr Bird LP, 'Know Your Rodents'. There is a few tracks up on the following myspace link from this awesome album:

RedEnt Studios !! RECORDING FROM £25 PER SONG !!





Mar 15 2007 2:16 PM

Hi!

Just thought we'd let everyone know that as of Monday 19th March all our studio prices will be increasing slightly. BUT any band / artist who contacts us before the 19th March to book time for whenever in our studio, will get it at £25 per track still!

So if you want to record your band to high quality for less than the price of a night out give us a shout asap and we'll book you in for some time.

We give you 7.5 hours of recording time for £25 per track!

Let us know anyway!
