Vapour's Bio Quotes:

"I have one of the largest followings of any underground UK artist and realistically you could write about experiences for numerous pages but have simply provided a basic overview. This leaves an opening for people to do their own homework on me.

I have been my own manager for the last 9 years since work became frequent and have marketed myself in a way where I have kept a certain mystery about myself and now feel its time to show my face"
