Virgil Sparo

As a teenager i was visited by a vision of light from beyond our galaxy.My instructions were to prepare the people of earth for their imminent coming.They,so i was told,had been over-seeing our planet ever since we developed speech.
My mission is to breed trust and understanding though music and sound.
Who knows when they do finally arrive,they might have just had me dupe you into believing that we had nothing to fear,when in fact we doOr maybe you are all the aliens,laughing at the task you have set your little human plaything.
Virgil Howe has been writing and performing music since the age of four.Brought up around the crazy world of Progressive Rock,his father being guitar legend Steve Howe of Yes.Virgil was always encouraged to follow in the footsteps of his dad.Rather than shy away after having witnessed the capes,stage sets and private jets,Virgil got the bug.
His first instrument was the Moog synthesizer,drawn to the insane bleeps and swirls he could create at the turn of a dial.
Since then Virgil turned to producing,releasing an album of Yes Remixes (2003) and series of singles and mixtapes on UK independent hip hop label Scenario Records.Which started in the same year with the track 'I Would' featuring Karime Kendra on vocals,who later would guest on The Killer Meters first album 'A Tribute to The Meters' and eventually front the band.
Virgil continued to produce his own brand of psychedelic hip hop,remixing and working with The Nextmen,Shawn Lee,Terry Lynn,Dadahack(James Banbury),Echaskech,Brave and Bold,Lord Basis,Declaime,Georgia Muldrow and Foreign Beggars.
Since taking up the drums Virgil has made his name as a hard-hitting,exuberant performer,playing with the likes of Bryan Ferry,The Pet Shop Boys,Shawn Lee,Demis Roussos,Mareva Galenter,The Future Sound Of Londons super-group Amourphous Androgynous,The Dirty Feel,The Killer Meters and Little Barrie.Recently endorsed by leading stick brand Vic Firth and Protection Racket drum cases,Virgil is forging his own path in music.
