I am Stephen Platt, a 20 year old Guitarist/Bassist/Pianist/Drummer/Music
Producer based in Manchester, UK. I play many different styles of music
but generally tend to only play Rock/Metal since this is what i find the most
fun and challenging for me as a Guitarist (Guitar being my main instrument).
I am the founding member and Lead Guitarist of the band Collibus,
I have been with the band since 2003 as most of us met at college studying Music
but didn't officially become a full time band up until 2004. In June 2005 we
took a long break due to most of us planning for University. At the start of
2006 we got back together again and completely changed style of music (for the
better) and went towards a more progressive, heavy metal approach. This was
due to the few months apart, our musical interests changed and also the introduction
of 7 Strings changed how we wrote our music.
We are in the middle of recording our EP (still) and I am sorry for those of
you who have been waiting a long time for this but due to loosing our other
guitarist and just things generally happening which we haven't been able to
control it has been delayed. The EP is being done by ourselves, The Drum Tracks,
Bass, Rhythm Guitars, Keys are completely finished but a few Guitar solo's need
to be recorded (to replace our ex-guitarists) and Vocals. Once they are done
it will then be mixed and mastered by Me and our Bassist. All shall then be
done Musically and should be on sale here and our myspace shortly after New
Year as we will be recording over Christmas.
I have been part of many bands and projects in the past. I was in a band called
"The Calms" years ago playing the Drums and Piano back when i was in school.
It was the first real band i was in which actually had a full line up and gigged.
The other members of the band were Liam Fray, Michael Campbell, Daniel "Conan"
Moores (all of which are currently members of a popular Manchester band The
Courteeners ) and Andy Nighland.
I was a part of the project "Todmórden" which has a song on my myspace player
at the moment, only one song was ever written and recorded by us. The Song was
written by me, Luke Dearden (Collibus Bassist) and Richard Kershaw (Ex-Collibus,
WarNerve). On the Recording i played Guitar and written all the Orchestral/Piano
parts.
I am currently looking to do some Session work as a Guitarist
for bands/artists for Recording/Live performances. Anything in the Rock/Metal/Indie
i would be willing to do. If you are interested in that then please contact
me on my myspace profile or stephen (at) stephenplatt (dot) net. If you want
to ask me anything else then feel free to do so.
Cheers!
