Skinny formed in 1996(prior to this I had been playin drums for the now legendary dance act "faithless") by Me(matty) and Paul Herman, with the additions of Dave Nally on the ivories and Tim Vogt on the (6 string, how unnecessary) bass . Signed to CheekyRecords by Rollo Armstrong and released the weekend album in 1999 , with the lead single being "failure" .It did alright . We then released the 2nd album "taller"in 2001 on Cheeky but through BMG (available on itunes apparently)Lots of gigging and plenty of fun but............. The band split shortly after this , leaving the name with me. So here i am . The past few years have been spent mainly writing with other artists including fellow myspacer's Pauline Taylor , Dido , , Paolo Nutini ,Kristian Leontiou , Pnut , Mutya , Alexi's Strum , Belle, Dusted , Mel C and Cass Fox having also done remixes for Faithless , Dido , Gabriel , Freak Power , Tricky and R Kelly (b4 we knew he was a freak!) among others . I'm slowly making a new Skinny record and will bear the fruits of my musical love on this myspace page.
