JOHN THE RAPTIST

" Now when Jesus stepped ashore, there met him a certain man who for a long time was possessed by a devilMany times it had laid hold of him and he was bound with chainsbut he would break the bonds asunderAnd Jesus asked him, saying, "What is thy name ? " And he said Legion"
Luke 8:27-30.



JOHN THE RAPTIST: A BRIEF HISTORY.
I do not wish to bore any readers / friends with tedious details of my career in the music business only to say that I have been practising the art of an MC since the beginning of 1993 to the present day.Starting out as a member of local Hip Hop outfit Force 10 I learned to ply my trade, gaining valuble studio and gig experience during my stay, before making the bold decision to embark on a solo career in 1997.
There have been many trials and tribulations along the way, perhaps the highlight coming in late 1999 when I signed a contract with London based company Ruffworld only for events to take a downward turn before proceedings had ever really gotten off the ground or any of my recordings had been released.
Thankfully I have never lost my appetite for the never ending struggle to gain a foothold and a modicum of success and so now I finally arrive on MySpace.
On the subject of the lyrics, I write them and perform them.And on the subject of the music, I write, produce, engineer and direct it.I have a saying " If you can't do it yourself. Why fucking bother ? ".
Anyway on a different note, don't be shy and make John your friend / fiend.
Yours SINcerely JTR.
