Groove Boy
Grooveboy is an unsigned artist who started writing normal acoutstic numbers at the age of 17. As he picked up the guitar at an early age, it was time to put pen to paper and get some lyrics down and finished. Ten years later i still had scraps of paper and nothing formed.
So with that, i got out the laptop and installed sonar 3. This helpded me introduce samples, drum beats and various other instruments. Giving you the tracks that we have today.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Single artist. Been writing acoustic numbers and some music for about 15 years. Produced first album and released onto this site in Feb 2005.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I have played acoustic numbers live yes. But i still have a fair bit of work to do, to get better. Better equipment or band members to help me produce these sounds for a live crowd. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
