The Big Bud sound has been influenced by over 30 years of listening to Jazz, funk, Soul and Reggae. From attending jazz funk all-dayers back in the eighties thru the big raves of the early nineties up to today’s drum and bass clubs he has always been a lover of quality, soulful music. It was after hearing the emergence of tracks with breakbeats that he decided to get involved in producing...

After parting company with them he had to endure a two year period of isolation due to contractual problems.
