What can I say...the worst thing on earth is having to talk about ones self...but here goes!

Well I started off experimenting with sound many moons ago, by making my first radio transmitter out of a 'make your own random instrument' Tandy/RadioShack gizmo. (not sure if any one remember those things...probably not) what a treat that was, only seven and tuning in and swearing accross the airways ..even though it was a short range..

Since a kid I was always interested in art and sound, the former being the one that I was encouraged (forced) to pursue, being discontent with art in its static form I decided to break away and adapt my visual ideas into sound…Stumbling across Music technology, it opened up a whole new and exciting world in which to apply my ideas and manipulate sound..I've have been addicted and engrossed ever since.

My musical influences were varied and wide growing up as a nipper, ranging from listening to soul to psychedelia to jazz and funk. As a young teenager I locked onto some of London's finest Pirates and followed the musical evolution from the tail end of acid house right up to the Drum and bass explosion.

As a teenager and early adult I frequented many an illegal rave as well as doing the club scene, those such as Sterns (Interdance), Camden palace, AWOL at the paradise, Lazerdrome and roller express…Ahh those lip gurning days…

With Drum and Bass still at heart, I sniffed out new sounds and locked onto the slower, curvaceous sound of Breaks and successfully got a track signed to a small label (you live and learn form life's experiences!) however still hungry for fresh music, I've been inspired over the last Year or so by the diverse and electrifying sound of Dubstep. No holds barred with this genre, Phat drums, dirty bass lines and experimentation seems to be the way for this bass rich mixture of soundscape soup.

 

I started out on the prodcution side of things around eight years ago and to enhance my knowledge further, In 1998, I enrolled on a two year music technology course and went on to do a BA in Music production graduating with a top notch grade.

….A massive Bigup to those who had belief and to my mentors who shared their skills…you know who you are!!…

Well, I couldnt bare to go on any more, the end of useless information and the beginning of new horizons…
