Ghost
Starting his musical journey at itch fm with UK Veteran Disorda in
2001, Ghost went on to host his own radio show for 5 years in a
time considered a golden era for UK Hip Hop. In 2003 Ghost
released his first record, the 'Ghost Stories EP'. Over the next 6
years followed 4 videos, 3 albums Seldom Seen often Heard
(2006), ‘Freedom of Thought’ (2009), ‘Postcards From The Edge’
(2011), 4 EP's, a 7" single, a mix CD, guest production and remix
work for the likes of Verb T, Kashmere (Strange U), Bonobo, The
Heavy, Nicole Willis and the Soul Investigators.
Ghost is one of a handful of UK artists to have his music licensed
in Japan; this led to 2 album releases for Japanese markets only.
New album 'Shards of Memories' marks the 10 year anniversary
since the release of Ghost’s critically acclaimed debut album
‘Seldom Seen Often Heard’.
Over the years Ghost has carved out a sound which is very much
his own, thoughtful emotive laden Hip Hop beats and
Instrumentals. Not just loops but heavily composed arrangements
drawing the listener in to the music, music not just for now, music
to stand the test of time. Most recently Ghost continued his own
journey with a mix of past and contemporary Hip Hop sounds, live
instrumentation, a hint of orchestral and blues vibes on his
“Shard’s of Memories” album. Ghost pulled together another
masterful soundtrack; the key was to give the listener a journey
through the album not a mish mash of guest features that doesn't
work as a collection of music.
Although now working as a cameraman, editor and film colourist,
Ghost is still busy in the lab making beats..
