About Artist
Banzai Reef (Rob Butterworth) is from Mansfield, Nottingham UK.
He has been producing Music for a number of years now.
"I started playing Keyboard when I was 7 Years old, I gave up lessons after doing it for a few years."
"My Dad bought me an electric guitar for Christmas when I was about 14, I went to lessons for a couple of years."
"I started getting interested in DJing and House/ Dance music around about the same time. The music I was playing on guitar wasn't the music I had grown to love."
"I started out with Rave eJay on PC with a SoundBlaster Live! sound card. Things progressed through to Loop & Sample CDs and Acid Pro. Then I got a Midi Keyboard and Cubase and started sampling my guitar and adding layers of synths."
"Eventually this all just sounded the same so it was time to try out something different. So I now use combination of a Mac Pro & PC with Reason 4, FL Studio and Ableton Live."
As well as working on his own projects, Banzai Reef has been collaborating with a Drum & Bass and Electro DJ/ Producer (Jo Devient) and they are working on some really Gritty Electro Tunes.
