Lyrics From Home
Band? More of a solo artist playing with his own songs, own words, own playing style (maybe not the best, yet still learning), but lyricsfromhome is a generalisation for all the artists that create their own music as opposed to those that play covers, although covers are a main staple of my personal repetoire, to keep crowds entertained.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
History? There isn't really that much to it, apart from having written songs since the age of 15 (although I've only got 24 recorded at the moment, I think I still have lyrics for 8-10 more)
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I have played in front of a number of people at open mic sets before now. These are pre-arranged events by various groups of people in many different 'pub' locations, and I enjoy getting up and playing. Ok, so mainly its guitar based, but anything is possible.
Your musical influences
Darren Hayes/Savage Garden, my dad, and any artists that use guitars and keyboards (elton john being one of the longest running music artists I've heard of on the piano)
What equipment do you use?
A Jim Deacon basic electric guitar - or a Yamaha PSR-260 Keyboard
Anything else?
When i'm not writing new material, i'm often found listening to a variety of music (radio 1, kestrel FM, 2-ten FM, or any of a number of music channels, or cd's - eg, Genesis, School Reunion 'The 80's' to name but 2)
