SoundClick artist: Steve Foy - Experimental, instrumental artist playing primarily metal but straying into many other genres to pro

I'm basically a solo artist just experimenting around with different ideas to form songs, primarily metal but I take influence from many other styles of music such as classical, jazz, ambient and physcadelic (sp?)

All songs are written/performed/recorded and mixed by me.

Why this name?

Its my name

Do you play live?

I do with my band around the UK. For this project I would maybe like to form a band and go live with it eventually but for now it will stay in my bedroom!

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

For unknown artists like myself, its sure good as I can just get my music out there while at this stage Im not particulary interested in making money.

From the industrys point of view its eventualy just going to screw it over as no band will ever make albums anymore if people continue illegal downloading.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
