Kerry Moat

Story

Wrote poetry from age of 8, learnt basics on the guitar aged 10, started singing in assembly's then sung for fun in high school. Moved from London aged 18 when I started self teaching myself to learn chords and tabs, combined all 3 skills, lyrics, singing and guitar creating my own acoustic sound. Compiled a demo album in my early 20's and learnt music performance in college where I discovered electronic music which over time leads me to where I am today.
