The first records I bought were Nirvana’s Bleach and Nevermind on cassette. I was 10. Don’t have the tapes anymore but still love the albums. The last album I purchased was a used copy of Will Smith's - Willenium. It was released shortly after the birth of his second child Jaden Smith and is one of Bernie Mac's all time favourite albums.
I’m a solo artist. But I do perform with a dear friend of mine named Paul Denver. He's a great actor. I think Pocket Billiards were the last band we watched together. We bond over Krispy Kreme, who recently had to change his name to Froggy Fresh due to copyright infringement. He’s been referred to as the Rebecca Black of rapping. But Krispy’s our mucker and his tunes are parrful!
The one local act that I’d happily share a stage with every night is Empty Lungs. Kev’s one of my best mates, I'm pretty sure Paul Denver gets on with him, and the rest of the lads are all dead on too! Plus their tunes are sweet to the beat.
The first cover I tried as Bee Mick See was Vanilla Ice’s Ice Ice Baby. It’s an absolute tune! Paul Denver and I played that at the Sidewalk Cafe in Manhattan, NYC a few years back. Can’t remember the last cover we tried. I would like to eventually cover some classic hip hop tunes acoustically though. For example Ice T's - Cop Killer or Salt 'n' Pepa's - What a Man.
The one act that you may be most surprised that I listen to and love isLana Del Ray. My bird got me into her. Her music, voice and videos bring you back to simpler times. She's brilliant!
