the boy who trapped the sun

About Me

The Boy Who Trapped the Sun is a wry, alt-folkish singer-songwriter from the Isle of Lewis. The pseudo-offspring of Cash and Drake, if he could, he'd groom himself a Dylan 'fro, transcribing a perfect three-quarters of a circle.He is currently on Geffen, right on it, all over it. Straddling it in fact, and riding it like a whooping cowboy atop a nookular bomb waving a ten gallon hat. He has just completed his debut album on which he played everything himself, hoarding all of the credits. Except for the strings and female vocals, that is, but not for want of trying.
