Biography - Dexter

‘This is all I have ever wanted to do since I was young, all I want is for people to enjoy my music’. This is a direct quote from the fabulous pop rock artist Dexter himself. Dexter was born in a small town in Surrey called Cobham on the 1^st October 1991. Dexter was brought up as an only child by his dad as his mum left the family when he was just a child.

‘The first moment when I knew I wanted to become a music artist, was when my dad took me to one of his gigs’. Dexter’s dad worked evenings as a soft rock music artist, his dad was not signed by a record label, but continued to pursue his dream of becoming a worldwide known music artist. ‘My dad has always been determined and dedicated to his music; this has made me want to follow in his footsteps.’ Dexter knew that when his dad reached the age of 40 that maybe it was too late for him and he wouldn’t be able to crack it into his music industry, so he took it upon himself to fulfil both his dads and his dream of becoming a well known music artist.

Dexter started his musical career when he was in secondary school because he was in a a rock band with some of his friends. He then decided that maybe a rock band was not exactly what he wanted to pursue, so he left his band and become a solo artist and that’s when he started to create music of more of a pop rock genre instead of a heavy rock genre.

When he raised up the money from doing odd jobs round his neighbours he could afford a recording kit, that’s when his first singles started to make it onto YouTube and MySpace. ‘I just uploaded one song, then went back the next day and there was already 100 views and it just increased from then on. I was so shocked that people actually liked my music.’ Dexter was approached by two different record labels but didn't feel he was ready to be signed to a particular record label. ' I just want to keep my feet on the ground and don't want to get wrapped up in the music world, i want to just figure out what i want, before i sign away my life to a record label'.

Dexter started out just writing songs, ‘All my music is full of feeling and most of the songs that I have written are from experience from my life.’ Dexter’s music is a mixture between acoustic and pop rock. His most recent song that he has written is ‘Superman’, this song has not been realised as a song quite yet, but will be soon and it is the title of his first realised album.

Watch out for Dexter’s new music video to Superman!
