"G'day, my name is Spades and I'm 24 years of age. Lived in Newcastle my whole life which is probably why my character lacks good qualities.
I am primarily a vocalist but pretend that I can play other instruments in an attempt to make people think I'm more talented than what I really am."
NEWSFLASH! SPADES IS FREAKING TALENTED!
Spades is currently recording the debut album for Sophos Moros as well as a collaboration album with The Ambient Foundation both due this year.
Spades started with music openly when he was 16.
"Being the shy guy it took me a long time to get the balls and give singing a go. Ever since I've played with various bands except all the work I do now is recording with groups from around the world.
I'm currently working on the first album for my band Sophos Moros which should hopefully be released this year sometime.
I'm also doing a collaboration with The Ambient Society for their next album which is due this year sometime."
With a background in rock and metal, over the years he has branched his vocal stylings out to Jazz, Classical, Avant-Garde, Pop, Trip-Hop, Electronica and is not afraid to experiment with new genres he normally wouldn’t listen to.Influences: Amon Tobin, A Perfect Circle, Alice In Chains, Aphex Twin, Astrud Gilberto, Beethoven, Bill Frisell, Billie Holiday, Björk, Black Sabbath, Cannibal Corpse, Chemical Brothers, Chimaira, Craig Armstrong, Crowded House, Charlie Parker, Dave Berry, David Bowie, Devin Townsend, Deftones, Degenerate Art Ensemble, Down, Diamanda Galas, Ella Fitzgerald, Enya, Elizabeth Fraser, Ephel Duath, Eyvind Kang, Faith No More, Fantômas, Fear Factory, Fleetwood Mac, Frank Sinatra, Frank Zappa, Fred Gongusto, Garbage, Godflesh, Gomez, Henry Rollins, Holy Fuck, INXS, Isis, Joao Gilberto, Jimi Hendrix, John Coltrane, John Lennon, John Zorn, Johnny Hatmann, Julie London, Kaada, Killswitch Engage, King Crimson, Korn, Kyuss, Kurt Elling, Led Zeppelin, Lovage, Lacuna Coil, Lamb Of God, Louis Armstrong, Luciano Pavorotti, Machinehead, Manic Street Preachers, Marilyn Manson, Martina Topely Bird, Massive Attack, Melt Banana, Melvins, Meshuggah, Metallica, Miles Davis, Mike Patton, Mindless Self Indulgance, Ministry, Moby, Moonchild, Mr. Bungle, Muse, Masada, Naked City, Nina Simone, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, Norah Jones, Norma Jean, Oceansize, Opeth, Pantera, Parkway Drive, Peeping Tom, Peggy Lee, Pelican, Pink Floyd, Placebo, Porcupine Tree, Portishead, Primus, Prodigy, Queens Of The Stone Age, Radiohead, Rage Against The Machine, Rahzel, Rammstein, Rasputina, Scribe, Secret Chiefs 3, Strapping Young Lad, Sepultura, Sigur Ros, Silverchair, Slayer, Smashing Pumpkins, Sneaker Pimps, Sonic Animation, Soundgarden, Staind, Stan Getz, Superjoint Ritual, System Of A Down, Team Sleep, The Beatles, The Bezerker, The Butterfly Effect, The Cure, The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Doors, The Dust Brothers, The Mars Volta, The Moody Blues, The Presets, Trevor Dunn Trio Convulsant, Tomahawk, Tony Bennett, Tool, Tori Amos
