farOutlaw
farOutlaw is the story so far of singer song writer, Justin Gibson - that's me. I've
been writing songs for most of my life, been in and out of bands, two
being LUCID and groop, as well as playing with all sorts of interesting
cats along the way, still do. Right now though I'm a 21st century one man band, it's me, a guitar and four synths. Most of my recording has been done with producer, Sam Williams whose made records with Supergrass and The
Noisettes, to name but two among many other excellent bands and solo
artists. We are in the process of finishing my album...
farOutlaw - singer songwriter, Justin Gibson was
born in West London where he lived for the first three years of his
life before moving with his family to Coombe End in South Oxfordshire.
Despite being surrounded by musicians, owing to his family’s
involvement with WOMAD, it was not until he accidentally wrote a song
that he discovered his own talent. The subsequent years have been spent
writing and performing in various guises. In 1992 he teamed up with
Sacha Churchill (son of Ten Year’s After Chick Churchill) and
formed the band Lucid. They quickly made a name for themselves and
within a year found themselves in negotiation with a major Japanese
record company, but a lethal combination of youthful excess and
professional naivety led to the bands sudden demise.
Undeterred
Justin continued to develop his career, writing and performing solo.
His work has led him to collaborate with a number of musicians and
producers including Simon Emmerson (AfroCelt SoundSystem, Imagine
Village), John Fortis ( Ellie Goulding , Razor Light), Future Sounds Of
London and Sam Brown, whose tour he supported in 2000. He also enjoyed
a brief stint with London’s electro acid punk rockers, groop.
farOutlaw
is his latest solo project in which he fuses electronic music with his
acoustic style to create a unique and disturbingly catchy sound.
farOutlaw is currently working with producer Sam Williams- Supergrass,
The Noisettes, Kula Shaker - on a debut solo album, scheduled for
release later this year. Watch this space
