PAWA UP FIRST

About Me

PAWA UP FIRST started out as a recording project around 2001 and has since then evolved into a quartet mainly comprised of piano/synth, guitar, bass and drums with occasional collaborators including a horn section, percussionists, guest vocalists and MCs. Heavily influenced by film music, and mixing elements of dub, electro, hip hop and rock, PAWA UP FIRST creates a wide range of atmospheres and dynamics with its (mostly) instrumental repertoire and video projections. 'The Scenario' released in 2006, and 'Introducing New Details' released in 2007 are both available on Dare To Care Records.
