-----------------
Growing up in the 80s/90s in Gonubie, Eastern Cape was a privilege to say
the least. Constantly surrounded by good music, good waves and great
musicians was what lead me down a treacherous yet rewarding path of music
and performing. I come from a great family of 3 brothers and my older
brother Craig got involved early on with music too and the first to get a
guitar. I always gravitated towards the guitar and there was always one
somewhere, whether we were at the beach, a friends house, son surf, church
or watching a punk rock band practice in an old garage. My first band was
in 1998 called'Tinfoil' a punk rock band. I played bass guitar in this
group and thoroughly enjoyed it, but not as much as the guitar. To this
day I have always been playing an acoustic duo act as The Larter Brothers
with Craig. A few years on I was performing with my late best friend Dusty
Hare. We studied sound together in Cape Town in 03/04. Dusty was a one of
a kind extremely talented musician and played as many instruments as he
could find. We were performing acoustic duo gigs at home in the holidays
and open mic sessions in Cape Town. Once studies were finished we then
formed a band called THEM, an African acoustic funk rock outfit that was
destined for big things. That didn't work out as we all needed real jobs
and careers to follow. I then headed to Johannesburg to work in the Audio
Visual Industry as an AV technician setting up sound and lighting for
large and small events. I had some musician friends from home there and we
started another band called 'The Breakers', possibly my favourite band to
date, the sounds of fresh melodic funkadelic reef rock is what emulated
from this group of mates. Unfortunately that also didn't work out because
- life! From there I eventually got back to Cape Town and started working
on my solo career. Never really had the confidence for singing but I had
to grind through it and figure it out, although you never stop figuring it
out. I have now been living in Cape Town for 10years working in the post
production industry. In 2016 I released my first album - Remember to
Think, which I produced, recorded, mixed and mastered myself, something I
will never do again. It was not my best work but I released it anyway.
None the less a great learning experience! While transitioning my new
business I joined the Jan Blohm band as the lead guitarist and live
engineer for a few tours before lockdown. I currently run my own sound
studio - Audio Bits - where I compose and mix films and commericals and,
most importantly, produce my own music. The Darkness is my first single
I've recently produced from my studio, so have a listen. Cheers.
