Spyrol 18 years old is an upcoming artist from Hackney East London and he is determined to become a worldwide selling artist. Although currently working on RnB, Hip Hop and Grime, with the love of all genres of music he will not be limited to only a few genres he feels his music will be aimed at every age group.
Following the young rappers interest in music from the age of 11 he has performed at a few Hackney venues including well known Hackney Empire. He recently did an outstanding performance at “Spotlight” competition in Ocean Mare Street (Hackney Central). The rapper managed to impress a panel of judges who included “Tinnie Tempah’s” manager, “Bashy’s” manager and “Ms Brat’s” manager with his song named “Dear Mum” leaving lots of screaming girls in the audience wanting to hear more from the rapper. He is feeling very excited about winning the competition and is looking forward to performing with other top UK artists including “Jay Sean”, “Scorcher”, “Kele Le Roc” and many more at the O2 Arena on July 17th 2010. One not to be missed!
The message the positive young rapper gives in his music is from the heart “Never let anyone bring you down. To everyone who has a dream, no matter what background you’re from, whether you were brought up on a council estate or a big house, if you have a talent use it.”
A big shout goes out to the rest of his boys “Alliance Music” who he teamed up with in secondary school to also work with them on producing more good music.
