About Me

My name is Sam and i am 14. i come from a small village near Winchester and go to swanmore secondary school. I started playing guitar when i was 8 or so, when my musical tastes consisted of Robbie Williams and the Spice girls..... Luckily i saw the light and realised that actually this new pop music wasn't that cool. my dad took me to a couple of gigs to see Gary Moore and Jeff Beck and i thought to myself, wow this is so loud and cool i want to do that! So about 2 or 3 years ago i stopped playing so much classical/spanish guitar and started trying to play like hendrix and my dad (bought my beautiful fender stratocaster about the same time, which i did all the recording with, obviously not including the singing, drums and keyboard.) A year ago now i realised i could sing a bit also and started singing lessons and about the same time my Dad came home with this Jeff Buckley C.D - Grace. I have been obsessed with it ever since that day and infact all of his stuff! Then more recently i became obsessed with Radiohead and in that gap i became obsessed with Nick Drake.... i could go on for a while so i wont. I have done lots of gigs with various bands and made CD's with all of them all, which is great! I made an album by myself last year, some of which is on my myspace music player, but its a bit old now so i'm going to make another one as soon as i can find the time! I usually go busking quite alot but its been so cold i can hardly play, so i'm not doing that so much at the moment. please leave a comment, i like comments! www.samjohnbrothers.tk

Sounds Like: My Mum says i sound like thom yorke from radiohead.... i dont particuarlly, but i like to think so! I don't ever limit myself with guitar, i try and fit in with the music, making a nice sound, not always just showing of for the sake of it. thats what playing the guitar is really about, you can make a better noise just strumming some weird chords on a 12 string than doing a full out shredder solo, though sometimes that could sound right to. As for everything else well, just keep it simple because everybody knows the best instrument in the world is a guitar.....
Type of Label: None
