Willy Byrne aka Soundskeeperwilly was brought up on electronic music from an early age. His brother, Paul Chillage (Chillage Idiots, Xfmdublin) had been doing a weekly electronic music radio programme since 1996 and his room was always packed with the latest records and cds. Willy, now aged 9, would hear new, interesting and varied sounds coming from his brother's room on a daily basis.
He started buying records himself, aged 15 in 2001 and soon after started bedroom djing and by 2004 was playing out at nights run by his network of upcoming producer and dj friends most notably KMD (Dublin Xpress- DXR) who was running his "Interactive" nights and Fionn Prendergast aka Gaudii (Italo Business, 5Tonne Records) and fenno (one half of duo hypertic) who was running the equally successful "Filthy Friction" nights.
He took the next logical step and started producing in January 2010. " I was determined to create My own productions and bring to life the sounds and melodies going on in my head". Soundskeeperwilly's output is varied but he says its mainly "deep, emotive, bangin' or funky".
