Growing Up
I grew up going to piano lessons from as early as I can remember, then moved onto guitar lessons then bought a drum kit and just bashed it in my parents garage. I never really thought I was going to do music full time at that age I just enjoyed it. Then at 16 I just decided it was all I wanted to do.
Inspirations
I would pick Brian Eno as one of my all time biggest heroes. He just works across all my musical tastes from prog rock to electronica, soundtrack work and just an all round amazing inspiration.
Your Crew
I’m a one man band, really. I’ve been in two bands before but it’s something I’ve started myself and then just moved on. Music has been my only source of income for 20 years now so I don’t know anything else.
The Music You Make And Play
I’m just going to be playing quite a lot of different music, it might go from starting off with mellow indie tripped out stuff to heavier techno and I don’t like to plan what I do, only just pick good tracks
Music, Right Here, Right Now
Never really understood the word “scene “ to be very honest. It kind of makes me cringe every time I hear it. I sort of get what it means, but for me its just music and it’s my world I live in. If you mean particularly where do fans of “dance music” go to here in Belfast (where I live), I have noticed a shift in people wanting to put on small parties and do it a bit more DIY, which is cool as it feels a bit more organic and put on by the fans of electronic music themselves.
Phil Kieran will perform at Revolver Upstairs on Friday March 27.
