I was talent spotted by my parents when I was about 9 years old playing the dining room
table.
Seeing the potential, they bought me a table of my very own. Due to lack of decent sound and the simple fact it was just a table, I was treated to a very dodgy old Casio keyboard which I remember had a great bosanova rhythm on it. Next was a Yamaha, this i used to record very simple tracks on tapes when I was at secondary (high) school.
Then, when I was 20 years old, my Grandmother passed away leaving me a small amount of cash. With this I bought a Roland U-220, an MC-500 and an A-30 keyboard. This keyboard cost £150 and is still the only keyboard I possess to this day and have used it for all the tracks on Fuzz.
I composed only 2 songs over the next 6 years. Amateurish plinky plonky piano with synth strings. "hmm nice" I hear you say...
These are now uploaded and can be found in the album section. (Well they would be, however it keeps telling me that my MP3 and WAV versions of the tracks are unsupported...)
When I was 26 I got married realised I was rubbish and all the equipment went in the loft.
There it all stayed until my divorce.
When I remarried I bought some simple sequencing software and other bits and bobs.
I finally started composing in my 33rd year, in November 2007, 'The Cruel Sea' which is actually a rip off of one of the 2 plinky plonky ones I composed when I was 20.
