Ghetto Priest aka Squid; a musical assassin, recording artist/singer/songwriter!
Coming out of the eastside of London. Ghetto Priest has worked with recording artist & musicians from various regions of the globe, from a variety of musical arena's; an ecclectic who refuses to be "pigeon holed". Ghetto Priest is one of the most flambouyant, creative performers to have emerged from the London music scene in the past few years. Like the community from which he hails, Ghetto Priest is a man at ease with multiple musical visions. Walk through the streets of London and you begin to realise the flow and the rhythm that has produced his unique sound. Its a community of exchange; African/carribean and Irish, Asian and English, each mixing and informing the other, lending beats and grooves, keeping things fresh & new. Ghetto Priest born and raised in the east end of London to African/Jamaican Parents, grew up with these sounds and these neighbours, he knows the smell and the taste, the bass and the drum. This is his community, this is his music.
In the words of Ghetto Preist: "for me music is a community, It's a culmination a coming together of many threads to create a new weaving. Being open minded is the key, it's about giving into the heartbeat of diversity, yet maintaining a vision and creating something absolutely unique and modern". MORE FIRE!
