About Band
“Everything to me is about the song...the hit chorus, the Hook line, that certain something that is gonna make everybody hum it from the get go!!
I`m lucky enough to be able to spend all day writing...so...that’s just what I do.
I write a song a day, 7 a week...28 a month, 336 a year!!
It sounds extreme but it’s not because I don’t put pressure on myself to have to make them all huge hit material songs, that impossible...but out of a month’s material I do get some crackers and those are the ones that get recorded.
It’s just my opinion if I think they are great songs...it’s your opinion that really counts!!
My loyalty is toward my band, those guys make me sound good...so if I can keep churning out the songs, maybe we can all have an easy life at some point, and make no mistake..I`m out to get signed but I`m out to work 24 hrs a day 7 days a week to make sure I have longevity in this industry now..and when I get signed, the competition is too good and it’s too tough out there to get complacent!
After 15 years...learning all I can about songwriting, producing and performing...all I know is I still know nothing...because the industry changes too quick to think you know it well...I just try to be true to myself and my music...3 chords and the truth...and wait till the market may get round to what I’m doing..and take it on."
Guy cut his teeth at a very early age playing the local bars and taverns in a succession of bands, and has played all over the world in some of the best venues in the world from Wembly Arena to The Bluebird cafe in Nashville, Greenpoint Bowl in South Africa to The House of Blues in Hollywood.
Discovered by legendary Pro audio Designer and Engineer John Oram who recognized Guy`s talent, set him up with a recording studio and let the young singer write day and night.
Guy now owns his own recording company GnT Productions still using Oram outboard.
Guy is now in the process of recording his debut album entitled SUICIDE IN FRACTIONS.
