Voyeur
I`m a 19 year old solo artist recording at home.
I engineer and produce all of my own material to a proffessional standard and dedicate my life to making music.
I play every instrument...this covers: guitars, piano, vocals, keyboards/synths, drums, bass guitar, bazouki, theremin, glockenspiel, strings and more!...
It`s very hard to pin=point my genre as it`s very different but also highly accesible! I mix the singer/songwriting styles of Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Elliott Smith and Nick Drake with the soundscapey-ness of bands like Pink Floyd, Mogwai, Sigur-Ros and Slint with the production experimentation of The Beatles, Aphex Twin and The Beach Boys!...there!...that`s the best I can put it!

Why this name?
It`s my name!
Do you play live?
With a previous band I gigged alot. But on my own I`ve so far only done one gig as I`m still recording and building up a solid library of material.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It provides unsigned artists like me with the chance to get our music heard all over the World...and easily too.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes!...that is my eventual aspiration.
Your influences?
The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Tom Waits, Elliott Smith, Brian Wilson, Bob Dylan, Nick Drake, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Chopin, Primus and many more!!
Favorite spot?
Devon, England. UK
Anything else...?
I also work as a part time producer/engineer at a fairly nearby studio. The rest of the time I`m working as a labourer for my Dad.
