I am Reachout, a vocalist and producer, who can also been seen moonlighting as a DJ. I was raised in Scotland, but had a transatlantic ubringing which fueled my passion for rap music. Whilst on one of many trips to NYC in the Nineties, I was fortunate enough to hook up with the Zulu Nation and meet Afrika Bambatta. Through this connection I was immersed in Hip Hop culture and subsequently asked to perform in the Bronx as part of the Rock Steady Crews 20th Anniversary.
Taking this energy back to Edinburgh I, with others, set up and ran Scotlands first Hip Hop club 'Seen' and first Hip Hop record label 'Oh Eye Records'. The club became legendary and through the label I was able to release music by myself and other local artists. (Notably the classic Eye Drops compilation and The Bristo Sq EP)
After these releases I dropped my debut album Roks N Rolls. The album featured a host of local musicians and Hip Hop artists from home and abroad. These collaborations helped give the album a Celtic feel while also retaining a true Hip Hop sound.
Until this point I had been working at different studios, but I really wanted to get hands on and develop my own sound. So, with the help of an Art's Council grant, I put together my own studio, named Restless Native, and went to work on my next album ‘Fly Baby’. Basing the studio around a laptop allowed me to follow my passion for travel while continuing to collaborate and make music. The album was recorded in 6 different countries over 3 continents and features a host of collaborations from Moroccan street musicians to Roots Manuva.
Recently other adventures have included playing gigs in Poland and Italy, voicing tracks for Finley Quaye and producing tracks with Roots Manuva for his new album ‘Slime and Reason’.
In 2007 I relocated to NYC and had ‘Fly Baby’ mixed and mastered here at REEQ Studios by Ollie Hammett and Mark Saunders (who has worked extensively with The Cure, David Byrne and Tricky to name a few). It was always my intention to come to New York to release the album and I feel very blessed that it happened.
Since ‘Fly Baby’ I’ve been putting together a mini album/mixtape project ‘The Exile’. It will be free to download via the music page on reachoot.com soon...
