About Me

FROM AN EARLY AGE IT LOOKED LIKE MY PATH WAS SET FOR FOOTBALL. ALL THE SIGNS WERE RIGHT, TWO GREAT ELDER BROTHERS DRAGGING ME OVER THE LOCAL FIELD TO KICK A BAG OF WIND AROUND. I PROGRESSED AND LANDED PLACES WITH QUEENS PARK RANGERS AT THE TENDER AGE OF 9 AND THEN LUTON TILL I WAS 14. EVEN HAD A TRIAL FOR ENGLAND!!! DURING THOSE LATER YEARS SOEMTHING STRANGE HAPPENED,WHILST ON MY BMX ALL I COULD HEAR WAS THESE OLDER LADS PLAYING WICKKY!! WICKKKY!! WICKKY!!...YES THOSE ELECTRO DAYS ON THE BOOM BOX HAD GOT A HOLD OF ME...I HAD IT BAD!! BREAKING CREWS WERE FORMED UNDER RIDICULOUS NAMES TO DO WITH SPACE! GRAFF WAS DAUBED ON THE BUS STOPS AND I WAS KNOW BECOMING A FULLY FLEDGED B-BOY. SURE I OFTEN GOT CHUCKLES FROM THE FOOTY BOYS WHO SAID IT WAS A BIG FAD AND WOULD NEVER LAST. 20 ODD YEARS ON AND IM STILL A MAD RECORD DIGGER, ALL THE TIME IN THE 80'S I SEEMED TO LOCK ON PRETTY QUICKLY THAT THESE RECORDS HAD USED OLD BITS OF SHIT, AND THUS THIS STARTED ME DIGGING THE ARCHIVES AND BECOMING MORE AND MORE KNOWLEDGABLE IN MUSIC OF BLACK ORIGIN I WANTED TO MAKE BEATS AND THANKS TO CEL ONE AND ONE NIGHT OF TRYING TO MAKE AN ALVIN CASH RECORD LOOP FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS I DECIDED I WOULD USE THESE LARGE LUG 'OLS AND BECOME A BEAT MAKER. A COMMODORE AMIGA ENSUED AND THEN AN AKAI 950. I PRODUCED A U.K RAP EP CALLED "THE TRIALS OF LIFE" BY THE GUTTER SNYPES AND AM STILL THE PRODUCER AND EVERY YEAR WE SAY "THIS TIME WERE GONNA GET ANOTHER THING OUT". WHO KNOWS? DURING ALL THIS PERIOD IVE ALWAYS HAD THE OUTLOOK THAT IF IM GONNA DO SOMETHING IM GONNA DIVE IN HEAD FIRST AND GO FOR IT. I ALWAYS LOVED ART AND WRITNG GRAFF AND COULD HONESTLY SAY I WAS A MAJOR GRAFF PLAYER IN THE LATE 1980'S EARLY 90'S AND HAD MY NAME ON EVERY LINE YOU WOULD TRAVEL ON WITHIN THE LONDON UNDERGROUND SO THIS IS HOW THE SIGHER TAG AND NAME WAS BORN....ALL STARTED IN THE EARLY 1980'S WHEN I SPUN MY CHRISTIAN NAME AROUND WHICH IS RUS AND GOT SUR...FROM THEN ON IT BACAME SURVERE, SIRE AND EVENTUALLY SIGHER. SADLY THIS ALL HAD TO STOP WITH A 3 MONTH PRISON SENTENCE I HAD PUT MY DAD THROUGH MISERY AND LOST MY MOTHER TO A TRAGIC CAR ACCIDENT WHEN I WAS SIXTEEN. IT WAS NOW TIME TO BECOME A MAN, AND FOCUS MY ENERGIES ELSWHEREI KNOW SPEND MOST OF MY TIME DIGGING THE RARE SOUL SOUNDS AND STILL BROADENING MY MUSICAL KNOWLEDGE, GAINING LOADS OF FREINDS ALONG THE WAYHOPEFULLY YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD FOR SUCCESS SO WATCH THIS SPACE!
