Now about me.
Hi my names adrian, I also go by the mc name of Thorts.
I started writing rhymes in 1995 and have never looked back. I have featured on a few of my mates albums over the years (albums on the left) and am allways working on new stuff.
Hip Hop is my form of expression, i dont use this to make money or to make myself seem like somebody im not, i make music because i love to do so, i like to write about what i feel and think and what i see around me, if you like my music then its a bonus.
I am currently working on an album titled "bleeding heart muzik" which features some of my close friends on the mic and production im hoping to finish it off and get it out sometime later in the year so keep and ear and eye out for that.
Feel free to contact me regarding anything, i will never stop writing as i love this form of expression, it can be beautiful. I am inspired by my beautiful children Isaiah and Paige and life in general, musically i would say i am inspired the most by Atmosphere, The Chicharones, Pigeon John, The Grouch and Brother ali and also anyone else who pushes the boundries and does what they want without caring about what other think cause that's what it's all about. Peace.

I love animals, some people, lots of foods and life.
I'm also very interested in alot of strange and wonderful places in the world and the people that inhabit these places, i would love to be able study different cultures and the history of different tribes and races such as the caucasus, the ainu, the moriori, st.kilda island, the andaman and nicobar islands and many more places, if i ever get the chance i would love to visit the following places just for starters anyways.
Iceland (the place ive wanted to visit for 20 years), Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Czech republic, Faroe Islands, Ethiopia, Mali, Burkina Faso, Eritrea, Djibouti, Madagascar (i would love to go to this beautiful island), Egypt, Namibia, Greenland, Japan (to visit the original inhabitants the Ainu), Canada (most of all british columbia, brunswick, novia scotia, prince edward island and newfoundland), America, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, India (the hidden and mysterious north eastern regions), Nepal, Borneo, Russia (the far eastern kamchatka peninsula), Vanuatu, West papua (FREE WEST PAPUA), and Tahiti.
That about sums it up theres alot more though that i will add once i think of when i can think abit clearer, i will not die until i have been to all these places!
