Brendon "Octave" Harding

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6!
SO I WAS SITTING WATCHING A DOCUMENTARY ON WHITNEY HOUSTON'S 'MY LOVE IS YOUR LOVE' ALBUM, AND I SEE RODNEY JERKINS SITTING IN THE STUDIO RUNNING THE SHOW, AND I THOUGHT "THAT'S WHERE I WANNA BE". 9 YEARS ON AND HERE I AM, JUST ABOUT READY TO SAVE THE WORLD ONE SONG AT A TIME.
FOR ME, MUSIC HAS TO CHANGE AND GROW, IT HAS TO KEEP THE AUDIENCE INTERESTED AND MAKE THEM THINK (OR DANCE) FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION OF THE SONG, AND NOT JUST THE FIRST MINUTE. MY MUSIC IS NOT CONVENTIONAL, OFTEN BLURRING GENRE BOUNDARIES AND DEFYING THE TRADITIONAL CONCEPTS OF WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN WITHIN THE SPACE OF 3,4,5 OR MORE MINUTES.
I’M PASSIONATE ABOUT MY MUSIC BECAUSE IT IS MY OWN NATURAL FROM OF EXPRESSION, IT IS ME AND I AM IT. ALL OF IT. I RARELY USE/ABUSE SAMPLES AS I FIND THEM RESTRICTIVE AND DON’T ALLOW ME TO FULLY EXPRESS MYSELF. I WRITE MUSIC THAT WILL BE SAMPLED, NOT MUSIC THAT RELIES ON THEM.
TAKE ME AS I AM AND MY MUSIC HOW YOU HEAR IT, IT’S URBAN, IT’S HIP HOP, IT’S R’N’B, IT’S SOUL, IT’S GARAGE, IT’S GRIME, IT’S POP, IT’S ROCK, IT’S REGGAE, IT’S DANCEHALL, IT’S EXPERIMENTAL, IT’S UNUSUAL, IT’S ME.
I'M A TRUSTEE FOR THE 'TOM EASTON FLAVASUM TRUST' WHICH IS AIMING TO HELP FUND PROJECTS IN THE UK TO HELP EDUCATE YOUNG PEOPLE, THROUGH MUSIC AND THE ARTS, ABOUT THE DANGERS OF CARRYING KNIVES AND WEAPONS.
