BEEZWAX feat. TAURUS - ON GUARD I always wanted to get involved in music but I was never sure what area of music I found the most enjoyable.
I grew up on the Haverfield estate in Brentford (West–London) & everyone was into music in one way or another. After a while going back & forth I finally came to the decision that I wanted to be an artist (how original) & manage artists too. I set up the management company Klass A Entertainment.
Before long I was doing minor promotion & recording music which brought me in contact with Keys, Darkus & Double M formally of Arms Length. We all grew up in the same area, knew the same people etc. Keys & I used to roll together tough around the way, then college, Uni & life put us on separate paths, but the music brought us full circle.
In 2004 I became Arms Length’s manager, and began planning the best way for us to get out there.
After sending out countless demos we received positive feedback from Kemet Entertainment Records, within two weeks the guys were signed.
The first single that was released was ‘Metropolitics’/’Best Of British’ produced by Beezwax, which received great reviews & was even deemed as the single of the year. Following the success of the release, Arms Length were given two massive opportunities, one was to open for Klashnekoff at his debut album launch (The Sagas Of….Klashnekoff) at Scala, Kings Cross & the second was to tour with the legendary Dj Premier. Though this was accomplished, at the height of Arms Length’s success the guys decided to go their separate ways due to personal reasons which was a major blow to all those involved. Fast forward a year to September 2005 & after some time out I've finally rediscovered my desire & hunger for the music & i’ve learnt valuable lessons. This time though I wanted to be more involved & in control of what’s going so I decided to sit down with Beezwax and brainstormed. After he told me that he wanted to do a producer album featuring the cream of established UK rap artists alongside more unknown talent needing to get out there, we started the record label Out In The West Records as a platform for this project and hopefully a lot more to come. I had actually become Beezwax's manager around the time of Arms length & I always knew he had a special talent & he was very focused on the music. We always had an honest & strong understanding, plus he was 200% on point whenever I needed something done. 01/01/2006 we officially launched the label & signed West-London based rapper Taurus….watch out for him!!
