STIXMAN

Born in North West London of Indian parentage, Stixman entered the music scene by running a small sound system with a group of school friends. Starting off as a selector for the sound, Stixman soon realised that what he really wanted to do was entertain the crowd with his vocal skills. This oppurtunity arose when the regular mic man for the sound was not present at a local dance, giving Stixman the chance to prove his skills. " I remember picking up the mic and the whole place blew up from i said my first line. That was it, i`ve never looked back". Progressing with his talent, he was soon in the studio recording 'dubplates/specials' for his and other sound systems. Leading on from this, Stixman was spotted performing at the world famous Hippodrome club in London`s West End and was subsequently signed up for a recording deal with an independant record label. His debut single 'Trust me' was released in 1992 at the age of 19. Unfortunately, due to creative differences, Stixman was forced to cut short the contract term. Despite being knocked back by this experience, he was soon back in the studio recording material for his own record label (Poisonous Recordings), which he decided to set up, with his long time friend and producer, Little Wayne. " I realised that i needed my own freedom in putting out songs for them to get to where i want them to go, so i hooked up with Little Wayne and we got things rolling...our way!" Their first release on Poisonous Recordings was 'Catch Him' which featured Cami Camille on vocals. This monster track paved the way for three more singles and a debut album entitled ' My Definition' which has now given Stixman the recognition he deserves. Having performed in Jamaica, New York and accross Europe, Stixman is currently working on his next project which he says is definately something to look forward to! " I really feel good and confident about myself right now, ready to take things to a higher heights". MySpace Layouts
