Electronica

The Disco King is an electronic musician from the south west of England currently based in Bath. He likes to press buttons on his computer so that it makes some sweet funky noises for him. He also likes to pluck guitars with three strings and blow a sax (with no strings) as well as fiddling with some other noise making devices. He also rather enjoys combining his music with film, animation, computer games and other multimedia.
Band/artist history
The disco king has been studying music technology for a few years now having earned a BTEC national diploma in Music Technology and now working towards a BA Hons degree in Creative Music Technology at Bath Spa University. When away from his computer the Disco King enjoys playing video games, reading marvel comics and watching cool movies. The Disco King also enjoys writing about himself in the third person... it makes him feel important.
