Producer/Engineer of UK Hip Hop, UK Garage and Urban Pop/R'n'B. All music by Spy, all lyrics by the vocalist(s) [].
More of a production house/ideas arena than an artist/group (think Neptunes as opposed to N.E.R.D.)Band/artist history
My music 'career' began with me DJ'ing at school friends' parties. I continued as an operator/selector for a local sound, whilst simultaneously 'working' as a presenter on a series of unlicensed radio stations - Faze 1 FM, Switch FM, Rock 2 Rock and PowerJam.
I'm now the producer/engineer of UK Hip Hop, UK Garage, UK Dancehall & Urban Pop/R&B for a small collective whose aim is to bring good, dirty urban beats and spread the message - "One Love, One Aim, One Big Party".
Music has always played a large role in my life and always will. Almost every good memory I have has a tune attached to it as if my life were a movie with its own soundtrack album.
