About Me

Cute Myspace LayoutsHmm, where do i start? Well my dad's a musician so i've grown up with music all around me since day dot. i sang everywhere i went (which i imagine was rather annoyin for the people trying to do their shopping or travelling on the train) and then when i was 5 my parents bought me a little guitar!!! well, i didn't really play it that much...in fact it wasn't until i was 13 that i started learning how to play seriously. i'm not really a guitarist though, i just play so that i can perform solo. i started writing songs at the age of 10, but they were quite 'poppy' and my dad created all my music...good ol' synths! when i got back into guitar thats when i started writing the kind of music i play today, which is...well i don't kno-listen to my tracks and let me kno! Me and my dad started going to open mic nights as we were both singer/songwriters then (he's now a bassist) and for a good 3 or 4 years we went to loads of pubs and bars playing our stuff. eventually we joined forces, with my dad as my bassist although we'v gone a separate (musical) ways now. i went to college to study music and now i'm at uni studying music - i also intend to have a career in music, suprised? hehe. well anyway, there's not much more to say....if i actually went into detail this'd be far too long as there's about 13years worth of my musical history: talents shows, songwriting competitions, recordings, gigs, collaberations etc. so maybe u could come a gig or 2 and see for yourself, all i can say is i'm an honest songwriter - i usually write from my own experiences or something i'm familiar with and i don't like too much of simple or average or pop or dance or...u get the picture, i hope? ok is that i bio? well that's wot i feel like writing anyway, so yeah enjoy! :)P.S....if this stuff is a bit quiet for ya then check my punk-rock-esque band out at www.myspace.com/wearegirlafraid or do it anyway coz it's kool! hehe ;)
