Aaron Emerson

I was introduced to music at a very young age by my father who knew a thing or two about piano playing and was encouraged to learn a progressive rock version of 'Chopsticks' in 7..8 from the age of 5 or 6. After my left hand fell off I decided to play the guitar in the hope of picking up more chicks that way. After a few disastrous attempts, my mates at school said they needed a keyboard player for their band, so I switched back and we formed our first band, Curfew. The first cover we ever played was Booker T and the MG's version of 'Green Onions'. We stayed as Curfew for 5 years or so, before forming Buzztonic and got picked up by a record label. We enjoyed some success with the release of 'Prime Time People', now available on eBay for the bargain price of £1.99. (Hell, the record label's got to get their money back somehow!) but the band didn't last long after the label got bought out by a larger company. I began sessioning and worked with such acts as The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Lene Lovich, and I played on the live album, 'Eclectic' with Big Country. I later went on to join a band called DON who were already signed and after completing a tour of the States the band split up and I moved to California in 2000. I continued playing and did a few gigs up and down Sunset Strip, (my father was my roadie at a couple) before returning to England in 2003. I now work in collaboration with DJ Steve Mac, previously with the Rhythm Masters, and we are currently putting the finishing touches to our two year long project....watch this space...I now live in Hove with my wife Jo, and my son Ethan who was born in September 2005.
