About Me

Welcome to the official West myspace.com website.
I am a twenty four year old Scottish artist and producer from Dundee. I have live dates scheduled throughout the remainder of 2008 so look out for the banners, also my debut EP released in 2007, entitled "The BreakThrough EP" is available on request.
I have been performing live for a few years now and notched up some impressive gigs by my standards, as I’ve performed in various cities throughout Scotland. The highlights of which being, performing in front of 3000 people at the Carling Academy in Glasgow, lighting the stage up for 800 people for the Tsunami Appeal at the Bonar Hall in Dundee as well as sharing the bill with Giant Panda and People Under The Stairs. I have also supported artists such as Skinnyman (Mud Family), Scratch (The Roots) and Killa Kela (Spit Kingdom) at the Reading Rooms in Dundee. More recently I performed for a packed Dundee city centre for the Street Athletics project which was established by Linford Christie and Darren Campbell to help young athletes progress and develop there running talent.
Irvo and I ran the Independent Scottish record label Dundee Destruktion Rekordz until mid 2006 when due to other commitments I have had to step down from the post. Dundee Destruktion Rekordz major achievements were hosting the first ever Scottish Hip Hop all day gig at the Reading Rooms in Dundee on the 31st of July 2005 as well as raising the profile of Scottish Hip Hop in Dundee and beyond.
At present, I am working on a debut release with my group the Com-Bust-Able Elements (Mote, Pro and Roos B) as well as starting countless new projects with various producers,rappers and other musicians from Scotland and further a field.
The tracks on this site will be updated very soon with some new material for your listening. In the meantime if you want to get a cd, book me for a gig or get information on my releases and distribution, simply add me as a friend and leave a comment.
