|----- Biography -----|
Eclipse was born "James Whitelock" on October 4th, 1990. Raised in a large, busy town on the east side of the UK, Eclipse witnessed pretty much everything whilst growing up. Living accross the street from crack dens, drug addicts, gangs and violent people, he knew he wanted to make something of his life, and refused to become a product of his environment.
Eclipse was extremely bright as a youngster, although his bad attitude and issues with authority stopped him excelling academically. Often choosing his bed, or a piss up with his mates over school, he was viewed by a lot of people as just another screw up, little did they know he was busy building a name for himself in the music industry.
All Eclipse was focused on growing up, was music. Every minute of spare time he had, he would be in the studio, studying his idols and perfecting his craft as both a producer, and an MC. At the age of 16 he established an independant production company - Streetwize Productionz. This enabled his to build a solid line-up of urban talent from the UK, to improve his, and their, chances of success. Working with these artists and producers Eclipse was soon attracting a lot of attention. Receiving various invitations to perform at shows, work with other artists and producers from all over the world and making appearances on tracks and mixtapes on an international basis. As his reputation increased, so did his income. His beat prices went up with almost every sale, he began charging more and more for studio time with every client he worked with, just seeing what he could get away with...a lot it appeared. He couldn't catch a break from business.
Now, after growing bored of just selling beats and spitting on tracks for Myspace, Eclipse is working on numerous full length projects, both solo and with his company. The first of which is due for release at the end of 2007 and is highly anticipated both locally and on the Internet. He is also currently working with some major artists, providing production for mixtapes and albums to be sold on an international level. Big things are in the pipeline for this 17 year old entrepreneur, remember the name, it won't be long before he is man is EVERYWHERE!
