Morris Anthony Ximines grew up listening to the likes of the Jackson 5, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind and Fire, Quincy Jones and other major soul giants. His main musical influence though was found a little closer to home in the form of his father, who had played both guitar and drums in various bands and whose love for music was very influential on Morris. Whilst studying Illustration in Cambridge, Morris met Del Dawn through some mutual friends and they began to jam together in a band called the Ascension with Del on drums and Morris on vocals. The talent of The Doors, Joni Mitchell and Kate Bush were highly influential on the duos initial song writing efforts. Nigel Agger was also met during this period and it was here that the foundation of Ximinez was cemented. Recent addition to the band has been in the form of Dave Lowe a multitalented musician and songwriter himself, reinforcing and helping to sculpt the ever-increasing talent that is Ximinez
