About Me

If you haven't noticed already I've retired my full name from the page and decided to go with the name "Later than 8". If you're asking what does this mean and am I going to be taking things in a completely new direction the answer is...yes and no. I'm still doing things my way same as it's always been but after connecting with another artist of the same name I decided it best to distinguish myself to the public. With that said things are still on course and this hasn't disrupted production whatsoever. You'll find above a sample of a song that is set for release (Not the Single) but this is more or less a taste of what kind of music is coming your way with this whole record.As always for those of you new a little blurb about me....I produce all my own music independently...everything you hear is me. I do like to collaborate from time to time though.I grew up listening to a lot of classical music as well as some of the best classic rock out there. I'm heavily inspired by people, events and stories...I think music is an important thing to have in life for me it's a way of getting things out that I want to say and gives me a chance to feel free.My new album is now officially in production stages. I was very eager to get something out for you all to hear just to get an idea of things I'm experimenting with. It will be up for purchase upon release so I encourage you to support me by buying it if you enjoy.I do think getting new material is hard in the sense that I never feel fully sure of what should be my next presentation of work that I do. Stepping out of the box and making something for you all to hear is my goal...I hope that soon my efforts will reflect the absence.I look forward to hearing from you out there so send me comments!-JT..

My Interests

Member Since: 01/09/2005

Influences:My influences rang from a varity of sources and sounds. I love good classic rock, metal, old-school hip hop, some Rap but not a lot and mostly for the beats, I like bands that mix it up! Nine Inch Nails has been a huge influence, and Linkin Park has been a big impact on my life and music. I'm finding myself getting into a lot of artists like Mogwai and Imogen Heap as well as Asobi Seksu, Kate Havnevik weather or not they play a part in my writting it's just good music to me. The ambient sounds move me. I've started listening to some chiptunning music...Bubblyfish is good.
Sounds Like: Linkin PArk, Temposhark, Nine Inch Nails, Stabing Westward, Placebo...I've just heard I sound like these judge for yourself. I think I sound like me.
