Mckenzie
(Michael McMenemy)

Bio:
Hi, i'm Mckenzie, i'm 18 and i live in Southampton, Drawing, Football and especially Music make me happy.

This here is my setup (it actually lives in my tiny bedroom) I've spent about 2 years working solidly trying to afford it, and i have to say i don't regret a second of it. Alot of it is also 'hand me down' stuff, like the 18 year old hi-fi and speakers (STILL GOING STRONG!) and the computer is second hand too. The amps and electric guitar accessories are all dad's - as is the strat. My piano is my baby (Roland RD 700SX), after 8 years playing classical on the upright, i needed something that 'played' like a real piano and sounded like a real piano, that i could take to gig's and practise. It's the best (and only) £1000 i've ever spent, and is without a doubt the most amazing feat of technology i have ever come across. I spent a year building the studio up, and it was all funded by a ceramic art job in a tiny studio in winchester!! BUT, now i'm paying rent, bills and all that 'grown up' rubbish, so i'm gonna take a wild guess and assume the 'building' is going to slowdown somewhat. This could be a good thing however, as i tend to get lost in all the fun of the new technology, which, inevitably, draws me away from the reason i bought all that gear in the first place - to write songs and record them.

I'll take this opportunity to list a few major influences:
