About Me

Get Your Own! | View SlideshowSpending most of his years in Forest Gate, East London, Cuthbert 80 had much appreciation for all different kinds of music, namely most things in the 80's and 90's. Unfortunately, he also developed a passion for high speed trains such as TGV, Eurostar and the Japanese Shinkansen and even worse, it started to influence him musically, later on in his career.During the mid/late 80's, he first put pen to paper and wrote lyrics for him to rap to and developed his style as an artist. He made lots poor quality mix tapes and gradually improved as a rapper. 1997 was the year when Dark Horse (his stage name at the time) signed to Nine Music record label, and recorded a huge amount of material and performed a lot of it too.In 1998, while still signed to Nine Music, he then thought he would 'have a crack' at singing and formed a vocal group of 4 members with his cousins. They all worked obsessively hard to reach their goal of becoming one of the greatest vocal groups of their time, however, in 2005 Dark Horse decided to leave the group for various reasons and became a solo artist who is now known as Cuthbert 80.Using all his experience with his former group(an amazing group who is now known as Nicole Jane, check them out!), Cuthbert 80 combined this with his rapping skills and his love of other various types of music to come with a sound of his own that took many years to perfect, and is still perfecting to the present time. Now he could concentrate fully on himself, still signed to Nine Music...It never bothered Cuthbert 80 that some people tried to categorize his music as he knew himself that you couldn't really, apart from some of the obvious influences.Who knows what the future holds???For We Are Many...
