About Me
Hi There,My name is Louis Batey ("SWING CAT").I am a Solo Music Artist and I write all my own original songs.The songs you are now hearing on my Myspace.com Profile Page, were written, produced and recorded by me. Also, I performed all Lead/Backing Vocals and I played every Musical Instrument on all the songs.My Musical Influences are: Big Band/Swing (Glen Miller,Count Basie Duke Ellington and all the Big Band Swing Greats). Jazz/Rhythm & Blues (Louis Jordan. Louis Prima, Louis Armstrong, Big Joe Turner, Ray Charles, Charlie Parker), Rock & Roll (Elvis Presley, Bill Haley And The Comets), The Rat Pack (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr), Western Swing (Tennessee Ernie Ford). These great talented artists had a profound musical influence on me and inspired me to learn a Musical Instrument. I want to keep the memory of my musical heroes alive, by writing and performing my own original songs in the same musical genre.I enjoy Swing/Jive dancing as a hobby, as well as writing and recording my own songs in this musical genre.I would like to meet people with similar musical interests and also, make contact with Record Companies and Music Management Companies, who are involved in signing/marketing and promoting Jazz, Swing/Jive and Rhythm & Blues.
