"who put this thing together?...me, that's who.."
Scar face couldn't have given a better intro to my
'Band in a can!'. Sample creation and MIDI-knob fiddling on a PC.
Bring into the mix a combined DJ experience of well over a decade in the Latin scene in New Jersey (USA), Portsmouth (England), and Sheffield (England) has prompted this artist to start to combine and explore the musical influences of these geographic regions.

Why this name?
I chose the name 'latin looter' because I bring beats from other genres into latin music. It is like 'looting or pillaging'...some call it fusion.
Do you play live?
Usually play my tracks and mixes on a few DJ nights, and have DJ friends who play my music. It's good to see people take to a song that was home-brewed.
A few memorable moments include:
>First album track, Featured in Daily Star
National newspaper featured, 'left in a latin trance trip'. Quite lucky after 6 months work on a PC (2002).
>Featured on Future Music Magazine, 2004
Second album cover & song discussed on Future Music Magazine

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet, and the low cost of pc music production, means that there are no longer entry barriers to new micro-labels and independent artists. Music has become 'democratic':by the people and for the people.
The music industry can promote mediocre talent, but people have the opportunity to discover what they like, and pay what they feel is a fair price. Power to the people!

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
It all depends: What's on offer, what are the terms and conditions.
I won't compromise my artistic freedom, and be forced to conform to styles and influences I am not happy with.
