R-Type

R-Type was born in South London and is of Jamaican and Antiguan descent. Although his parents were not known to have any musical influences in the public world, it was them that introduced the main flavour to the basis of his sound with his older brother playing a more dominant role in what you hear from R-Type today. Growing up, he would be shaped by the sounds of Reggae, Rare Groove and Soul. The early teens would see him gravitate more heavily towards Jungle, House and Garage music. This eventually transformed into admiration for the Grime scene that eventually emerged. Today, he does not see his tastes limited to genres, but more on a song to song basis. If the song sounds good and it resonates with him, he will appreciate the material, regardless of the genre. It is this rationale that shapes the music that you will hear from R-Type. He does not see himself bound to one category and will endeavour to produce good music, no matter the subject or sound.
