Artist History
TURNER is a 24 year old guitarist/singer/songwriter from the North of England. He has been playing guitar since the age of 5, and began writing songs at the age of 13. He names Neil Finn and Paul McCartney as his main songwriting influences, whilst vocally such artists as George Michael, Daryl hall & Peter Cox have inspired him to develop his vocal technique. Since graduating from Salford University, England with a degree in music in 1997, Turner has been collaborating with a number of writers/producers, trying to find the right person to bring his song ideas to life. In January 1999 he did just that when he was introduced to Damian Grady, a producer/remixer/songwriter/musician who had worked on projects involving Beverley Knight, Lulu and Lisa Moorish and with the latter achieved a number 3 in the English Dance Charts. After months of planning, experimenting and pre-production, the pair began work on 5 songs. Songs which have been compared musically with The Lighthouse Family, Conner Reeves & The Corrs and vocally with the likes of George Michael and Robbie Williams. With TURNER'S first of 3 demo CDs now complete, he feels that 2000 will be his year, and with songs like Shoot Me Down that encapsulate everything that is good in pop music, he could well be right. |
