About Me


Tempo O'neil has been singing Live on Dj sets since he was 14. Under a different name. The name Tempo derives from singing soulful down tempo ballad's (80-110 bpm) to doing Garage/House/Techno & Acid and next jungle/drum & bass (165+). These are the types of music he has grown with, soul/disco/Rare Groove, Reggae/Dub/Steppers to hip hop & break beat, elements which are part of music history. His style is based on Old school entertainment. to be original to inspire a crowd and to touch them spiritually. Singing on sound systems on such a high scale meant he had to be original and to set a high standard or be booed off stage.
My look on the music scene! We used to all have different types of music played in one arena, Acid, electro, garage, house, Hip House, Techno, ambient trance and Dub. They've all been segregated. baring some Dj's and you had a host! and a Diva who could sing the place down! it wasn't a club..It was a fucking Party!! its too clubby, winey, pub drinky and stush! I loved the people that dressed as fairy's and cat suits dressed up like clowns tom dick or harriet!! (sorry Tom) Dj's are playing music with minimal vocals, (i used to love all the girls singing away) there is a missing element and that missing element is "The energy that i like to give on a Dj's set" this is Like the icing on the cake for any party, my job is to capture and entertain the crowd and take the energy to a new level. The only person i've heard do anything to a crowd is Robert Owens.
All my tracks are improvised. The vocalist & Host.
SOME MEMORABLE TRACKS: "I'm An everyday Junglist i fight for Survival " Macca rec. and In with "Just for You London" Big City records! (Sweeny) Tuff Jam "Your My Inspiration "Fiftyfirst / Keep Holdin' iRecord / I've seen the Light / Total Control Visitor Records Destination London Town/ Cross Tracks
