About Me

Biz gave up music and singing 7 years ago after banging his head on record company doors for too long! Then in 2004, by chance a friend was operating the camera at auditions for a Coca-Cola TV commercial and rang Biz to go and sneak in. On the last hour of the last day, Biz zoomed in, did his thing and got picked from 1,000 people to be the lead man in a huge UK-wide Tv ad’ for the English Championship Football League.May 2005 - Biz sang the song from the advert ("The Real Fans") at The Millenium Stadium in Cardiff at the League Play-Off Finals to 150,000 people over 3 days.From that, he then produced a demo and ended up being snapped up by Halo Records UK then had a debut single out in November 2005 (download it at www.karmadownload.com, or buy it at www.amazon.co.uk). The accompanying vid ( you can see here) was also shot and directed by The Ting Tings! Biz then recorded a series of songs for Halo, which you can play through the beauty of myspace!!!How bizarre....cool....and exciting is that!?!To launch the single Biz appeared singing LIVE (yes you read that right...live!) at Hull City’s KC Football Stadium to 25,000 people in the centre of the pitch at half time!! He’s not shy is he!?!!!So Biz’s favourite words are...surreal....bizarre...exciting.....and cool!Profile edited with CricketSoda’s Myspace Editor
