About Me

Welcome to The Collective's myspace. Indie / Hip Hop genre and some thought provoking music. It's been a long time coming but the plan has finally come together. 24 year old Ben from north Liverpool raised on a selection of 70's and onward rock, started experimenting with music early on playing various classical instruments in school before realising rock was the route to follow. Several bands later and hip hop got a grip. The love for the beat was always there, it just took time to realise. Met 26 year old Clare Marlow through Epitome and forged the new collective. Clare carries a very distinctive voice with a huge range. We are currently writing like bitches. The EP is in the works at the moment, it was due to be ready before xmas but various factors including the re-organisation of members meant its been hugely delayed. For further info email [email protected] - which is currently being rebuilt. later kids.
