On his website, I read his BIO, where he spoke a lot about his
love for music, and his particular taste
He explains how he liked house music and then went on to
discover his mums old records ‘under the stairs’
The house music he used to love turned into hip-hop, then
Motown, then his mums electric 70s and 80s vinyl’s,
including artists such as Diana Ross and James Brown
John started to create his own tracks and instrumentals, by
putting little bits from what he heard and making them work
together
He started to play solo gigs at pubs, then went on to going to
Leeds University to study music
John then moved to London, and started working in the Old
Dairy in Stroud Green, where he met Piers Agget, who would
later create the band Rudimental
