The Billion Dollar Quartet

life is cheap and i have expensive taste.

About Me

Some waffle taken from a Press Pack for a Promo CD. circa 2006."The Billion Dollar Quartet takes his name from “The Million Dollar Quartet”, which is the name given to the recordings of an impromptu jam session between Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash (it is a quite nod to some great musicians and hell raisers from the ‘Golden’ age of music). He is an American citizen born in North London with close ties to his mother’s home city, Detroit, Michigan. He works teaching Music Technology/Production to disadvantaged youths, at Camden Town Hall Centre. Creativity is in his blood; his father was a reluctant architect who really wanted to be Bob Dylan, his mother is a photographic journalist/university Art lecturer, his older brother is an ex-punk drummer, who now works as a sound engineer and his younger half-brother is an accomplished Drum ‘n’ Bass DJ from Bristol who now works for Magnum photographic agency. Although B$Q’s sound is very individual you can definitely still hear the rhythm of Detroit pulsing though his music. Don’t take my word for it. Check it out....."
