Influences: My first love in terms of music was metal. Before hand though I had been bought up on my dads side by 60's and 70's rock like Jimi hendrix, Joe Walsh and Queen and on my Mums side by old cheezy black soul music and smooth cheeze like phil collins, Chris Rea and Cliff Richard.......ow....nasty eh! When I got into metal I was drawn to bands like Pantera, Sepultura and Slayer, and then became obsessed with the NU-Metal phase. During the later parts of this musical enjoyment I started listening to Drum 'n' Bass, whcih lead me to leave my roots and listen to dance music. But most of this early dance music stuff ended up boring me after a while and didnt have the same interesting structures as my prior tastes of metal for instance. So I started listening to electronica and IDM stuff. Since then Ive just become a whore for any style of music regarless of its associated image or culture. I just fuckin listen to anything like every fuckin one else and tend to enjoy anything thats got some fuckin raw passion and effort sewen into its fuckin seams. I dont want to hear the same old fuckin genre specific stuff that just sounds exactly like an already established artist but remains a b-side in quality and individual expression. In my eyes your never gonna produce something so pure and original that would make you the pioneer god, For me I just try and make something that comes from within me and from my heart. I try and not give to much of a fuck about how its gonna be percieved, i just try and conscentrate on what it does for me. Hope you enjoy the tunes on this page, thats the end of my little rant. eh! cheesr!!!!!!
