MEGABYTES - BIOGRAPHY {Page 2}
THE SCHOOLS
Now, I Wont Tell You
About My School Days..... They Were Awful..... However, There Was One
Positive Thing Which Came From Those Days Which I Do Wish To
Mention, In My Fourth Year Of Secondary School, I Played Many
Instruments Including "Violin", "Guitar", "Piano", And Of Course "Keyboards"..... However, The Only
Instrument Which Really Stood Out In My Secondary Year, Was The "TRUMPET".....
Yep, For Three Years, I Played The
Trumpet Once A Week In A Little Brass Band, AND, In My 2nd Year, I Achieved My
Very FIRST Musical Award..... My "ABRSM TRUMPET: GRADE 1" Certificate.....
I Was
Only The Second Person In My School To Have Achieved This Honor..... The First One Wasn't Very Happy Of
Having To Share Their "Glory" With Me, But Thankfully, We Put That Aside, And We Got On Well.....
Now, I Can't Write About My
Secondary School, Without Making Reference To The One Person
Within That Confinement Who Stood By Me Through It All..... A Good Friend, And Another
Talented Musician, IMRAN DAR.....
This
Guy Wasn't Present For The First Year Of 2ndary
School,
But
He Made A Huge Impact On My Life Nevertheless..... Whenever Everyone
Else Would Try To Put Me Down, He Was Always There For Me, And We Were
Indeed The Best Of Friends..... Like Me, Whenever He Had Some Free Time, He Liked To Grab
Hold Of One Of The Many Instruments And Play Some New Tunes.....
THE YEARS OF COLLEGE
And
Now..........
With
2ndary School Out Of The Way I Had Two Choices, Lounge About In
The House Doing Absolutely Nothing, OR, I Could Put My Musical Talents To
Good Use And Enrol On A Music Course At A College....... Hmmmm, Which Should I
Choose?
Naturally, I Went With The "College" Option..... I Felt This Would
Be A Fine Chance To Test Out MY Music Skills In The Music
Industry, And Plus, I Could Learn Some New Things As
Well.....
And I
Swear On My Life, Walking Into That Room With All The Past
Problems Still Lurking On My Back, Was VERY Difficult.....
But, And This Was A
Total Surprise To Me, Everyone Was Really Nice..... I Will State
Myself From My Own Experience, Don't Judge People On Appearance Alone..... Most Of Them Had
Leather Jackets, Ear-Rings, Nose Studs..... But Strangely Enough, I Got On Well
With MANY Of Them.....
I
Remember That Whichever Band I Was In, We Always Got On, Even When We Had
Problems Rehearsing, We Were Still Good Friends.....
I
Remember The First Year Of College VERY Well, It Was The Very Same Year That "Blue (Dab Ba Dee)" Was First Released
Onto English Radios..... After I Heard The Song, It Changed My
Style Of Music From That Point On..... This First Year Of College, Also Marked The
First Appearance Of "David Hurt" As A Solo Artist, As I Participated
In My First Karaoke Night..... I Can Remember Everything About That Night..... The Name Of The DJ
(Gazza), The Name Of The
Song I Sang (GIrls On Film - Duran Duran), EVERYTHING..... Well, Except The Exact
Date.....
Anyway, The First Band I
Was In At College Was Called "Lazarus"..... We Played A Couple
Of Live Gigs Before We Broke Up For The End Of The Course.....
After
That Course Had Ended, I Decided To Enrol On Another, Harder, Longer Music
Course.....
THIS One Lasted A Full
Two Years.....
Whilst
On This College Course, I Hooked Up With My Second Ever Band, They Was Called "Azure" (Which Is
Apparently A Certain Kind Of "Blue" Colour)..... We Played A Whole
Week Of Gigs Which Included Primary & Secondary Schools As Well..... This Was The First
And Only Band I Performed With In Which I Actually Got To Perform
An Eiffel 65 Song..... At The Time, There Was Only ONE Eiffel 65 Song
Which Was Storming The Radio Airwaves..... "Blue (Dab Ba Dee)".....
..... Again, Once The College
Year Had Ended, The Band Split Up .....
However, Once The Second
Year Of This Course Had Started, I Found Myself Placed Into
Another Band..... We Took Three Monthes To Choose A Name For
Ourselves, And Eventually, We Chose "C60K"
