Fam Records Present West – Life In London
For those of you may not have heard about this talented urban songwriter and performer, let us take this opportunity to tell you about the man they call West. After getting into music at a very early age, West started performing by the age of five winning talent competitions and being picked for star roles in his school plays. As he naturally matured he began to decipher what styles of music he liked getting into various urban music sounds such as R’n’B, Hip-Hop & Jungle. It was this influx of inspiration that led to West picking up the pen, writing rap verses and sung hooks. Before long West on to record a mixtapes worth of material of himself recorded on well known beats which led to him being asked to perform at open mic nights and get his name out locally.
In 2003 West auditioned for a singer/songwriting competition in Reading where me met the keyboard player who played on D’Angelo’s ‘Voodoo’ album. He started working with him and wrote his first commercial song ‘Take My Life’. He came second in the competition and went on to perform the song in various UK clubs including London’s ‘Popshow Party’ in Soho supporting a girl group called ‘Clea’. After this triumph, he worked with a few local producers and learnt how to play a few chords on the guitar and taught himself how to use programs such as Cubase & Reason. West then entered the BBC’s talent show ‘Pop Idol’ getting through to the second round before entering the X-Factor to be told by Louis Walsh he ‘should and could be a star’.
Since then it’s been non-stop for West as he joined local reggae band Mighty Upfront as a singer and gained valuable experience playing live, as well as having a massive local following. Now teamed up with brand new record label and management company Fam Records, as well as enlisting the production skills of ‘David The Producer’, West is set for big things. There is no doubting that West has the raw talent, the vision and the skills to make a real impact and the fact that his material is refreshingly uplifting and positive, makes this artist a man to watch.
Here is West’s first single to be promoted nationally and internationally, and it’s a song that was actually recorded back in 2007. The song talks on issues regarding England’s capitol city London and with the recent events such as looting and rioting it only seems apt to share it with the world. We’d like to make it clear that neither West or Fam Records condone violence, looting or rioting in any way. There is a lot more to come from West and Fam Records so be make sure you remember the name…

Gianni – Dirty Diana
The 18 year old singer, songwriter & rapper has managed to transform a classic MICHEAL Jackson hit into a new youthful dance record. The song has a beautiful summer dance vibe too it, perfect for the last few days of summer or for a very exciting winter season of partying! The song that samples the lines from the MICHEAL Jackson classic was originally picked as the artist has always taken a liking to the princess and the royal family. He feels everyone should enjoy the record just as MICHEAL and Diana enjoyed each others company!
Please contact his assistant if you would be interested in interviewing him or having him for a performance or appearance.
HIS SCHEDULE IS FILLING FAST SO PLEASE BOOK ASAP!
BIOGRAPHY
Gianni is from a middle class family residing mainly in the North west London area. He was schooled at the private school that is “John Lyon ” in harrow and now attends “Woodhouse College” in Finchley studying Law , Theatre and Economics. Gianni fell in love with music after purchasing a cheap microphone from the high street brand that is Maplins. He then began recording bits and pieces and going to friends home studio set ups and eventually recorded his first mixtape. He then began doing little party sets and some club sets in his local areas and distributing mixtapes around but he hadn’t really taken as a artist. So he took a break for a while to do GCSE’s and other activities. But it was during this break he cut a deal with Superhuman ENT and some American producers (credits include Soulja Boy , Tyga , Gucci Mane, Chris Brown , Roscoe Dash) to give them the new exciting sound he now has. 2011 has taken off by storm for him, with over 30 shows played this year and most of his first album “Get signed or Sign on” recorded he is ready to give the world and starting with the UK a sample of what is yet to follow.
