I don't make music - I'm just very fortunate enough to listen to it! Music is a defining element for the soul and all of that stuff! So that's why I'm here - to keep in touch with what's going down in music.

My tastes are all across the board, and I'm willing to listen to anything, my preference being that it has some soul in there somewhere and you can find soul in many styles and genres: hip hop through dance and even rock in some places! But like I say, I'll give anything record a listen.

Too many people treat music as a disposable commodity, which explains the high amount of bubble gum pop, novelty tracks, boy and girl bands and pop idol artists that record companies invest so much time and money in, forced on us through constant rotation on radio TV and everything else, to shift as many units as possible. But as happens many times, these trends mean that todays happening celebrity styled pop stars end up in the dustbin tomorrow, being replaced with the next disposable pop act and fashion trend.

This constant rotation persistently blocks out the talented musicians, writers and lyricists out there who make music from the heart, for those who respect the great creative aspects of music and how people can engineer some of the most deep and captivating music to enjoy, heal, party to and drift into, done from vocals, raps, beats through to acoustics. That's where I'm coming from.

Dont get me wrong, I may like a few pop tunes here and there, I aint gonna lie But the balance at the moment is wrong, so wrong! Things like Myspace and Soundcloud are needed to realise there is another world of music out there.
