Banyan (ca)
Welcome!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Banyan is a native of Vancouver Island representing the West coast vibe through melodic breaks and down-tempo grooves.
His roots in music originated at an early age, however was not until later when he picked up the guitar that he began to fully comprehend the possibilities. After that it proliferated into other forms and more specifically towards various genres of electronica.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Playing live Excites and stimulates me!!! It allows me to communicate my creative flow & through my instruments and devices I am able to recreate any track i have produced, but it will never be the same thing twice. I would have to say that I have never experienced more of a thrill, than seeing a person enthralled in the music that im performing.
