Karl Maddison wrote the following about himself and his music, before he sadly passed away in 2007 at the age of 34: "From a young age I have always been interested in music. At twelve I started playing guitar & by seventeen I had secured a job in a local recording studio. I began doing sessions for local artists which was a good learning curve & led me to being in various groups of different musical styles. Finally having success on the dance music scene with Northface & Yekuana two outfits which were collaborations with two close friends. Having always been interested in new age music it was a natural progression for me to write & record music of a more relaxed nature. I like the space & room to make the music breath & evolve. Guitar is my main instrument & I am influenced by many styles of music. I will listen to any style. Music has to evoke a reaction in the listener, whether it’s happy, sad or relaxed it has to generate feelings & take you on a journey. I now own my own recording studio/production house Maddog Music Studios & enjoy writing for various companies as well as working & producing with new artists." Read more on Last.fm.
