I've been playing and listening to music since i was really young, i like recording my own lo-fi stuff and have about 100 songs on my brothers studio that he lent me. I've been in and started a few bands starting with Next in line which would be the first incarnation of the Ordinary Boys, had a number 1 album in the charts in Japan and a few top 20's in the UK, i also played on a studio recording with the same people with my my friend Jordan on vocals which was called Vivaxhate Its a shame we never did any shows.
