About Me

Dean Kraig Emson. 25 year-old spare-time songwriter from South Wales. All Demo's heard on this page are written by myself. After waiting to start a band for the last 7 years it never happened so decided go solo (new years resolution 2008!) Musically, I try not to complicate things: Simple riffs and melodic vocals. Tend to spend more time writing the lyrics. I like songs that create a mood or tell a story or express some sort of political opinion etc... They don't have to be clever - they just have to be about something worthwhile. Wrote my first song at 18 and have been trying to write ever since. There's something about writing a song that I'm addicted to and I can't explain why... I'll get my rhyming dictionary and thesaurous out. Go on the net to research the subject - its quite obsessive really but I can't and wont change! Ambitions? Hey, not gonna lie - I'd love my music to pay the bills! More Realistic Goal - to eventually form a band to record and perform my songs properly as I imagine them in my head (and to sing 'em without having to play the fucking guitar!)...watch this space! PS. Thanks to Ross Mckeown aka The Mighty Muse! for creating the page for me - cheers also for the lyrical debates, riff ideas & your constructive (although sometimes wrong!) criticism. Peace out.
