I've played instruments since I
afewdayslate
started the teenage years and loved it ever since.
I started out in grunge ,with the release of Nevermind
I had already ditched the piano lessons and learnt myself
to play bass. Eventuallty this led to the electric guitar with
the mind of becoming Jimi Hendrix or kurt cobain.Then I
got right into 60's pyschedelic rock with bands like
Jefferson Airoplane and the 13th Floor Elevetors, all this
had an definate effect on my music, then on the other
side i like to dance so I've always had an need for
some good chilled trancy dance with bands like
Dj Shadow and Leftfield. Recently The last few years
I have started to listen to more ambient / alternative ,
electronica bands with bands like Arcade Fire ,
Jose Gonzalez , Boards of Canada , Frog Pocket ,
Caribou. With all these influences surrounding me
something had to give and that's when I started recording.
My friend and I both feel out with our long term girlfriends
and started jamming out tunes on the acoustic at parties.
Then i started learning how to use the computer to make
beats and record audio.
With this The Social was formed (2004),
me on music, Steve on rap. It wasnt long before i started
building a portfolio of songs for my solo endeavour.
Mind u it wasn't exactly what I had in mind due to the fact
I was using computers and samplers alot. I was pleased
that i could get my own essence through and that's when
"afewdayslate..." was born. I plan to do an acoustic driven
album next, for thats what's at my heart.Below are each of the albums that inspired me to take up music and to become the person I am.
