About Me

I've always wanted to sing, ever since I was very young and putting on concerts for my parents and their friends (haven't we all done that?). I've been in and out of bands for a long time now, and even had my own band, sofala, for a while which was great fun, but I've no great designs on making album after album, gigging incessantly or chasing people to be interested in my songs. I just enjoy singing and making music, so thats what I do when I get time in between all the other things I love doing.Luckily my partner Mark Stanley and I have a studio, so I can get in there whenever he's got some free time and record. This year I'm going to finally finish my album, with the help of Mark (production and drums), Robbie Melville (on guitar) and a number of other amazing musicans who are willing to lend me their time.If you are in the market for recording, why don't you check out Red Room Recording Studios at myspace.com/recordingstudioredroom or www.redroom.net as well.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 07/03/2006
Band Website: check out www.redroom.net.au
Band Members: Ju Buxton (acoustic guitar, vocals) Mark Stanley (producer, dummer, percussion, sometimes co-writer), and other guest musicians such as THE AMAZING Robbie Melville (electric and acoustic guitar and various other weird and wonderful instruments) and loads of others too many to mention here, but they will be heard!
Influences: Here is some of the music and people that inspires me: Aimee Mann | Gillian Welsh | Radiohead | Lior | Fiona Apple |Elliot Smith | Ella Fitzgerald | Iron + Wine | Sufjan Stevens | Neil Young | Glen Miller | Jeff Buckley | Beck | Cathy Davey | the Frames | Gemma Hayes | Damian Rice | Natalie Merchant | The Verve | the Beatles | Rufus Wainright | Josh Ritter | Paula Toledo and lots, lots more... People and music that doesn't inspire me: wankers; musicians that think three chord songs are wrong and who play as many different chords as they can, just because they can; and right wing fascists!
Sounds Like: Someone just having fun with music.
Record Label: Red Room Records
Type of Label: Indie
