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…

inspired me as well as imense audible pleasure.
