DragonFly

Well... My real name is Nathan, DragonFly is my musical alter ego (mu haha)! I Started out at the age of 16 purely rapping! Was well against singing coz I didn't think I could do it. I used to spend a lot of time at the local youth club studio (Sound Bites)! It was here I met Craig, the youth worker and owner of the studio, and he gave up a lot of time for me to be in there from 6pm til 10pm 4 or five days a week! It then got to the point where i had my own key cut for the joint! :-)I was also at college for 2 years studying a BTEC National Diploma In Popular Music and A level Music Technology. This was a bad decision as i didn't learn a lot because they were teaching me things i'd already learnt at school (so my attention span was at 25%) with an exeption of the music tech side! But still..... I had fun! I performed six gigs (5 songs a show) during college and sang about three songs (Red hot Chilli Pepper's All Around The World, Bob Marley's No Woman No Cry and Nirvana's Lithium) Which all went down quite well but rapping was still my thing! I always remember the buzz i got after that 1st one which is why i now know i'm meant to be a performer! LOVE IT!I then Finished college at 18 and went on and on, for about a year, to a talented friend of mine (Archie) to introduce me to his dad - Steve Salvari! Steve is a producer and has worked with some of the best! Check him out on myspace.com/moondancemusikSteve explained to me that i would not be paid and would have to run errons, which i was totally cool with, Until one day i wrote a rap called runaway and steve told me to try singing it! I was totally against it but gave it a go and it worked! In fact it actually got released on east side record's compilation - East Side Stories vol 1! From that day on I decided that singing was for me! Done around 27 gigs as a singer now and with out a doubt it's what i love more than anything (oh and my family)! ;-)
