"Man and technology in tonal harmony balancing on a thread from the tapestry of Life..."
Band/artist history
Always loved music - collecting it, playing it, dabbling with creation... Always had musically talented friends and taken every opportunity to "jam"... 1999 - decided to take my musical interests beyond 'hobby'... 1999 - LJS tracks played in Brighton & Hove & elsewhere in the UK... 2001 - "Freak-me-knots" played on MTV... 2001 - co-produced "eJayberFest" with my wife (who's idea it was); a live, one-day event bringing together members of an online community of 'unsigned' artists under one roof, playing their tracks in a venue and broadcasting it to the world via 'Net radio... 2001 - LJS tracks played in Ibiza... 2002 - played briefly at Sandals, Jamaica (Ocho Rios)... 2003 - wrote the UK manual for and the demo for the 'dance' edition. 2004 - Contracted by Empire for music s/w QA. 2005 - Involvement with Ivy Arch Studio. ...The Future Awaits...
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Not currently - although I have played (as a DJ) in Brighton & Hove and performed a couple of my own tracks in Jamaica in 2002... I'd love to DJ properly again someday... But for now I'm happy to broadcast on the Internet from home...
