About Me

Music Fanatic, Fun-Lovin, Hard-Workin Lunatic! I live way beyond my means which has it's pro's and con's. Always busy doing something, be it business or pleasure, and love to over-do it, surviving on berocca, red bull and tablets full of herby good stuff. Work hard, play hard, yup.
There is an exception to every rule, nothing is set in stone, if you haven't worked hard for something it isn't worth having.
I work in music; it’s my passion and i love it. I have worked on a load of UK festivals and music events for the past few years, I enjoy this a lot! Also work /worked with both massive and tiny music companies in marketing, promotions and PR.
If not working, i love going to festivals and as many gigs and as possible. Any given night i'll be propping up the bar in one of the sweat riddled venues on London's live music circuit checking out new/old/good/shit bands.
DJing is of my biggest passions and i'm probably vinyl snob (plus i couldn't afford CD /MP3 decks). I 'DJ Busdaphunk' mostly spin tunes that make you feel cool and generally glad to be alive. Funk, Rare Groove, Northern Soul, Motown,Hip-Hop and all that wonderful breaky stuff you love. I've played venues and bars all over! Look out for Soul-Ternative and the Retro-Phonic Sound System -coming to a london venue soon(See friends).
I'm in to vintage trainers and own about 30 odd pairs, all with customised phat laces! If i had more money, i'd wax the lot on shoes and records.
My company 'Busdaphunk Music' is mainly concerned with management, PR and A&R. For more info see www.myspace.com/busdaphunkmusic and www.busdaphunkmusic.com.
It's not all about music though, im in to anything artistic and creative, and love to be around these kind of people. Food and global cuisine in general interests me, as do other cultures and traditions. I'm very frustrated that i don't get to travel as much as id like to. One day i'll brush up my French and learn Japanese. Apparently i have 'magic hands'! And would love to study Chinese massage at some point.
I'm incredibly lucky to have the friends i have (aren't we all?!), but mine are good.

Music:

All of it! Especially old-skool /real hip-hop, filthy hard funk and dirty rotten soul. It's all about beats, beats, beats. I especially love new exciting bands. I'll listen to classical and heavy metal in the same hour, it's all good.

Movies:

Warriors, Snatch, old badly-dubbed martial arts films, Spinal Tap, Labyrinth, 12 Angry Men, Swingers, Rounders, South Park, Lock Stock, Scratch, anything Quentin Tarantino, Bond, Beavis & Butthead do America, anything boisterous or funny!

Television:

Despite popular belief, TV is not the source of all evil, it only controls your brain if you want it to, it does not transmit sub-concious messages from the government, aliens or any other evil sources. Do not fear the TV!

Books:

Biographies mostly. The Dirt, by Motley Crue is fun! Howling at the Moon, by Walter Yetnikoff, Star Man by Michael Francis.

Heroes:

You, me... anyone who acheives greatness in their field and pushes the boundaries of human endeavour. Most of all though my parents and grandparents.
