Benedict James
Hi, my name is Benedict, and i live in Sydney, Australia.
I was born here, but grew up from the age of 2.5, in London.
I have been making various forms of music since early childhood, and, although untrained, i have managed to pick up a bit of knowledge on a few instruments, and put my songs together using the absolute bare minimum of equipment, not through choice, but because the stuff costs lots of money!
I am going to post a variety of musical styles at times, 'cause that's what rings my bell....
Hope you like.....
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Love playing live, but haven't been in a band for some years now.
I would like to get some of my newer songs on the road, but lack the gear and the know-how really.
Your musical influences
Oh dear, here we go....
SOOOOOOOOooooooo many!
i'll list the first ten that pop to mind:
Radiohead
Bob Marley
Seal
Dexy's midnight runners!
Temptations
Harold Melvin and the blue notes
U2
Paul Weller
The Guerillas
Foo fighters
What equipment do you use?
Pentium 3 pc, crap pc mic, Logic plat5, Acid pro5, loads of plugs and samps,
Anything else?
Spanish guitar, whatever is to hand...
