Pseudo has always been writing poems, but the influence of hip-hop music in his early teens brought about a need to create verses.

Producing music and writing to it was a relatively long process as playing live music and writing begun at two very different points in his life, but the 'conscious' movement of the early 2000s depicted a niche where his love of both the lyrics and style of beats contributed immensely to wanting to start his own song making.

After meeting at college, Brando helped a lot by giving the belief that material they made could have an effect on peoples lives, and that they both had the intelligence and talent to succeed.

Brando was born in South West London. In his formative years he was exposed to many different types of music, which can only be positive. He has been described as being culturally rich due to his mixed heritage.

With positives also came negatives. Exposure to many things has moulded Brando into a headstrong, ambitious and determined young man. Like bread the rise of this artist is slow but it is bound to happen, cream always rises to the top! Like a Marks and Spencer's ready meal he is well prepare for when his chance comes as he states, "Chance favours the prepared mind, with that in mind every day I stay on my grind. Plenty of time for girls but time is running out for success."

His style has been considered lazy but once you get past the flow and listen to the lyrical content you will hear this man is actually saying something you might just want to listen to. With a vast array of subject matter covered, a unique voice this makes for a refreshing musical experience.

Artistic Influences:

House and Garage. I've started dipping my toes into the deep waters of D'n'B but I don't want to be confined to just one thing. However, I would like to do anything that I do, well, if you see what I mean?

Anyway, I'll let your ears be the judge of my style(s) and content!
