About Me

I have been producing one way or another for roughly 7 years, ever since a mate leant me his groovebox...ahh the passion inflamed. Love to make beats and be creative but more than that I see making music in whatever form as a way of rinsing out the nastier things about the human psyche, like our tendancy to get caught up in the neurotic chaos of our lives. Making music encourages you to step back and get some perspective - exercise for the soul. If that sounds wierd then just watch the videos below from start to end and it explains it better than I ever could. These are peeps who love their music - both of these guys just fly away as they play, unbelievable... Layout made by MULS at CreateBlog.com .

Aslo a huge nod must go to the promoters and patrons of the now mythical 'Legends of the Dark Black' in Plymouth Dance Acadamy whom whilst not being artists in the strickest sense of the word still formed up as one of the most crazy influences of my young musical life - if you were there then you know what i mean! moreover and forever to the army of artists and producers who changed my life musically, i thank ya...
Sounds Like: trust your ears...Here are some vids I have dug up on youtube which in some form or another have inspried me, not that my music sounds anything like this (if only) but the simple fact that music like this exists makes me deeply happy to be alive... Its like my firend Rasiyah ses, s-street can teach you a lot about music... So many memories of summer with this one...folks get brown in the sunshine...just bees and things and flowers.... dont know who the name of the artist painting over the top of this Marley track but this is amazing... 4Hero, to whom I owe a debt which I can never repay...
