How did you get your start in music?
I started writing songs when I was 14. At sixteen I had worked out that it was a
lot less work for me if I sang them so...the path of least resistance ha ha and
all that.
By the time I was 19 I had enough material I felt confident enough with and hit
the studios. I got a cd of my material and hit the live science with it played
anywhere and everywhere i could.. for anything from beer to sandwiches as
payment and it went from there! Eventually a guy saw me who liked my music and
invested time and money into my project. I found myself in bigger and nicer
studios (not always better) surrounded by professional musicians and have never
stopped learning!!!
who are your biggest musical influences
That question is far too hard... but I can remember the first time I was sitting
in front of the stereo listening to Credence Clearwater revival (I was 3..i
think) and it dawned on me that people where actually playing there instruments
together to make that sound. it absolutely fascinated me!! I turned to my mum
and asked...Mum are they wizards? she said no dear they are musicians ....
Ha ha to this day I still think there wizards!!!
What is your biggest inspiration when creating music?
The music... to be able to place and create a sound that can express an emotion
and be able to put that emotion into words and for it all to come together.. and
then after all that for someone to say that they can relate to it...well that's
the inspiration!!
Could you give us the details of your current project.
We are currently finishing off our 2nd Album which should be available by
November.
What is the next goal you would like to achieve with your
music?
To have our second album released by the 1st of November ha ha
final four
When the zombies take over the world where will you be?
In the long grass setting detonaters!!
Jedi, Ninja, vampire, were-wolf, pirate, fairy or Spartan?
I would have to say a Spartan jedi ninja !!
What one piece of art, be it music, book, film or picture,
do you think people must experience before they die?
Again too hard.. id have to say The bible (for morals) to kill a mocking bird
(to understand prejudice), and Watership down (to learn that love beats fear
every time)
Give one fact that most people would not believe about
you?
I'm still trying to get my head around the extra spatial dimensions of string
theory ha ha some help please!!!
