In a short amount of time I was as good as he was, technically speaking haha. 3. What instruments do you play?

I make electronic music in my living room on a PC, essentially... 2. How did you get into music? Wow... Er, it’s just always been in my life. My Parents used to play records on the turntable when I was a kid and it’s always something that has fascinated me. Back then it was The Beatles records that really got me. My Dad would play Queen too but I’ve never got on with them... Fleetwood Mac, The Kinks, The Stones all that stuff as a kid... I was heavily into Britpop – Blur, Oasis and Pulp in particular. And then puberty hit, I got all moody, discovered Nirvana and Korn and all that angry Nu Metal stuff (I still love Korn and Slipknot)... I bought my first guitar at 14 and got into local bands and I’ve been in love with making music since.

FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK: LAPTOP PHILHARMONIC

This weeks 'Featured Artist of the Week' is the talented pianist, singer-songwriter, musician & composer LAPTOP PHILHARMONIC  1.Please introduce yourself Hi, I'm Laptop Philharmonic, once described as a producer of "piano-led progressive electronica" which is the best label for my music anyone has come up with so far. 2. How did you get into music? I had a very musical teacher in my first year at school, and she got me into music in general. I started piano lessons not long after, but it wasn't really until my mid-teens that I started to think about music seriously. It was hearing the fast movement of Beethoven's famous Moonlight Sonata that convinced me playing the piano could actually be cool, and it was probably the Final Fantasy game sound tracks that first made me think about writing my own music. 3. What instruments do you play? Piano, laptop and voice I guess! Also technically the recorder, but I haven't done that
